Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Coronavirus Emergency has severely affected Italian Healthcare National System.

We believe that this exceptional condition is being consequently having a significant impact on surgical training programs.
