The Relationship Between Robotic Surgical Technical Skill in RARP and Patient Outcomes – 3 Abstracts From AUA 2017
One of the questions we have been studying and trying to better understand is the relationship between surgical skill and patient outcomes. The rough rule of thumb has always been to ask a surgeon how many of these procedures he or she has done. The logic is that the more surgeries they have performed the…

In a world where robotic surgery is becoming more prevalent, Mimic is introducing the first simulator designed with mobility, flexibly, and storability in mind. Ideal for training centers and robotic surgeons looking for a more personal training experience, the new FlexVR™ will be on display at this year’s SAGES, March 22-24, in Houston, Texas. The…
Read MoreValidation of a Robotic Training Curriculum and Experience from Working with the EAU
As robotic surgery has increased in popularity and adoption, so has the recognition that training for robotic surgeons is critical. Also critical is ensuring that when these surgeons perform their first case on live patients they will have been exposed to and trained for all aspects of the system. In Europe, ERUS (the European Robotic…
