Advanced Course in Robotic-assisted Thoracic Surgery

Please select a date

For nearly 30 years, advances in minimally invasive surgery have demonstrated several benefits for patients. Robotic surgery has emerged as the most advanced minimally invasive platform, with notable improvements over thoracoscopic surgery, including better illumination, superior dexterity, more versatile stapling technology, and improved energy devices. Over the last two decades in the evolution of robotic surgery, several techniques of practice standardization have been explored.

COURSE OBJECTIVES & HIGHLIGHTS

to describe the latest practices in standardization of common and complex robotic thoracic procedures
to provide a primer in building of robotic surgical teams
to emphasize non-technical skills that are important in developing a robotic thoracic program
to provide an opportunity for networking and interactions between trainees and experts
to share ideas and experiences in developing and advancing robotic thoracic programs

EDUCATIONAL METHODS

Full immersion in outstanding facilities
Interactive theoretical and video sessions between Faculty and course participants
2 half days robotic surgery training and practice on live tissue + cadavers if option C is chosen, including the latest generation of da Vinci® robotic systems
