Where Is the Best Place To Do Robotic Surgical Simulation & Training?
Simulation is increasingly recognized as being an important component when learning how to drive a surgical robot. However, very little discussion has been held about where the best place is to learn and does the location of the simulator make a difference in its utilization. Essentially there are three places where simulation can be used…
Read MoreThings to Consider When Looking for a Robotic Surgery Simulator
There are many aspects to a training simulator that can be considered when making the initial investment in simulation training. For robotic surgery, we believe the top factors to consider are: Validation studies conducted on and using the simulator Fidelity of the controllers Accessibility of the simulator Data, data, data! Since Mimic launched its first…
Read MoreThe current and future use of imaging in urological robotic surgery: new survey of ERUS surgeons
With the development of augmented reality operating platforms, the way surgeons use imaging as a real-time adjunct to surgical technique is changing. A recent survey distributed to the European Robotic Urological Society (ERUS) mailing list included a questionnaire with three themes: surgeon demographics, current use of imaging, and potential uses of an augmented reality operating…
