Robotic Gynaecology Course

Background & Course Introduction

• Robotic surgery has become the cornerstone for many gynecological procedures including Hysterectomies and
• Laparoscopic surgery stands on the shoulders of open surgery and robotic surgery stands on the shoulders of laparoscopic surgery.
• It is a common belief that to be a good robotic surgeon we need to learn and unlearn laparoscopic skills. There is a paucity of courses delving into this aspect of robotic surgery, namely,” back to the basics.

Aims & Objectives

• Opportunity to interact one-to-one with Faculty during the course and personalized attention during hands-on and in the wet lab
• An unprecedented opportunity to have hands-on experience on the simulator
• Didactic talks focusing on technical aspects of basic and advanced robotic surgery

What should participants expect at the end of the course?

• Understand the nuances of various robotic platforms with hands-on training on simulators
• Understand the port positioning and role of the bedside surgeon
• Understand troubleshooting and management of such situations
• Understand and learn the basic steps of common robotic surgeries through demonstrations and simulator training
