Robotic surgery is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized the field of surgery in recent years. The use of robotics has made surgical procedures more precise, less invasive, and faster, resulting in better outcomes for patients. However, to be able to perform robotic surgery, surgeons need to undergo specialized & supervised training.
#RoboticSurgeryTraining involves learning how to operate a robotic surgical system, such as the Da Vinci Surgical System, which is one of the most popular robotic surgical systems used today.
We have a tailored modular training program for Robotic Surgery Training at Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Bharat. More details can be found here. The course director Dr Vishal Soni is an Expert Robotic Surgeon and a Proctor with Intuitive Surgicals. He has done phenomenal work in the field of Robotics in Benign Gastroenterology and has been invited to more than 15 events for sharing his domain expertise. He has Proctored over 55 surgeons in India and runs one of the most successful Robotic Surgery Programs for Benign Gastro-Intestinal Surgery.
Robotic Surgery training is divided into three stages: didactic training, simulation training, and hands-on training.
Stage 1: Didactic Training
Didactic training is the first stage of robotic surgery training. It involves learning the theoretical aspects of robotic surgery, including the basic principles of robotics, the relevant speciality-specific anatomy and physiology and the principles of surgical techniques.
Surgeons receive didactic training in several ways, including attending lectures, reading textbooks, P2P sessions and watching videos. Didactic training is important as it provides the foundation for the other two stages of robotic surgery training.
Stage 2: Simulation Training
Simulation training is the second stage of robotic surgery training. It involves using a 'simulator' to practice robotic surgery procedures. The simulator creates a virtual replica of the environment where Da Vinci Surgical System is put to use. It allows surgeons to practice different surgical steps such as suturing, cutting, and manipulating tissue.
Simulation training is important as it allows surgeons to develop their skills in a safe and controlled environment. Surgeons can make mistakes without putting patients at risk, and they can receive immediate feedback on their performance. Simulation training can be done individually or in pairs and it can be customized to meet the needs of an individual surgeons.
Stage 3: Hands-on Training
Hands-on training is the third and final stage of robotic surgery training. It involves working with a mentor to perform robotic surgery procedures on patients. Surgeons are supervised by experienced robotic surgeons, who provide guidance and feedback throughout the procedure.
Hands-on training is important as it allows surgeons to apply the skills they have learned in the first two stages of training to real patients. Surgeons learn how to manage the robotic surgical system, how to position the instruments, and how to communicate with the surgical team.
Robotic surgery training is essential for surgeons who want to perform robotic surgery procedures. The training involves three stages: didactic training, simulation training, and hands-on training. Didactic training provides the theoretical foundation for robotic surgery, simulation training allows surgeons to practice their skills in a safe environment, and hands-on training allows surgeons to apply their skills to real patients. By undergoing robotic surgery training, surgeons can provide better outcomes for their patients and stay at the forefront of surgical technology.
We are one of the only centers with a comprehensive hands-on course for Robotic Surgery Training in India. Contact us for more details on drvishalsoni@gmail.com.
