AB  - Robotic surgery is being increasingly used for complex benign and malignant hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) cases. As use of robotics increases, fellowships to excel in complex robotic procedures will be sought after. With this dedicated training, attending surgeon positions can be obtained that can incorporate and teach this skill set. Unfortunately, there are no evidence-based approaches for constructing a curriculum for an HPB robotic surgery fellowship. This paper describes a technique to develop a structured curriculum to ensure competence and fulfil the learning and practice needs for robotic HPB fellows.
