Head and neck robotic surgery
The Head & Neck Robotics course is designed for surgeons aiming to specialize in cutting-edge Head and neck robotic techniques. Robotic surgery is the most advanced form of minimally invasive surgery. Robotic surgery has been rapidly adopted by hospitals globally for use in the treatment of a wide range of conditions. This course provides surgeons knowledge on Robotic surgery setup using the Intuitive da Vinci Surgical System which is the most advanced minimally invasive surgical platform available.
After theory classes, with adequate knowledge surgeons will take part in Head and Neck Robotics Hands-On training under the guidance of senior robotic surgeons. Hands-on is provided for an intuitive da Vinci system which contains a surgical camera arm and a surgical robotic mechanical arms which have cuter. The surgeon sits at a console well positioned at the edge of the operating table, controlling the surgical arms, and is able to see the surgical field using a large format, stereo vision, 3D monitor.
This will help surgeons improve their accuracy, flexibility and control while performing complex head and neck surgery procedures with better outcomes. This course also helps surgeons improve their non-technical skills like teamwork, communication and situational awareness in a robotic operating room.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive certification from Global Healthcare Academy (GHA) and Intuitive, certifying them to perform robotic surgery for head and neck procedures.
