PROCEDURE: Robotic Surgery

Surgeons will perform and participants will undergo robotic surgery according to the standard of care. No additional interventions will be performed on participating participants.

Primary Outcome Measures	Measure Description	Time Frame
Correlation of Automated Performance Metrics to surgeon experience	For the primary objective, we will capture Automated Performance Metrics/APMs and will determine the association between these and other metrics and surgeon experience, which will be used to construct validation. APMs that will be used in the study: Time Metrics Camera Metrics Instrument Metrics System Metrics Articulation Metrics	Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures	Measure Description	Time Frame
