SAGES faculty and experts will teach both didactic and hands-on skills in robotic surgery. A broad range of robotic procedures will be covered with the emphasis placed on system set up, instrument selection, and technical approaches. At the end of the course, MIS fellows will become familiar with current and future robotics technology by emphasizing safe and practical applications in general surgery cases.
All Fellowship accredited MIS Fellows are invited to participate.
These two day courses are designed for MIS fellows who are currently participating in programs where robotic surgical systems and general faculty with robotic privileges are both available.
Fellows will be preferred who are SAGES members or who have submitted an application for membership.
