Robotassisted Surgery Course level 2
Robot-assisted surgery allows for 3D visualization and extended and high articulated mobility. This results in an excellent visualization and enables a more precise surgical technique. KTC and KERIC at Karolinska University Hospital offer skills training courses, with incremental levels of difficultyprogressive learningbefore surgery is performed on patients. We use ProMis ® hybrid simulator, the new virtual robot simulator Ross and wet-lab for skills training. The simulators have been validated for this type of skill training (PROMIS " Can serve as a Da Vinci ® Simulator - A Construct Validity Study, 2010, Validation of Simulation Ross, 2011).
Target group
Practicing surgeons with or without earlier experience of robot-assisted surgery. General surgery, Endocrine surgery, Gynecology and Urology.
Objectives
By dry and wet-lab training achieve a validated skills level to be able to perform robot-assisted surgery on patients.
