About The Course

Learning Objective:
• Defining the robotic surgical platform, its features, setup and organisational requirements, and
troubleshooting measures.
• Developing the psychomotor skills required to safely operate the da Vinci robotic surgical platform
Leveraging surgical case observation in defining how the robotic surgical platform is integrated into the
operating room and how the platform can be best utilized in clinical practice.
• Developing clinical efficiency through comprehensive team training
• Guidance for Equivalency training / Fellowship opportunity

Learning Methodology:
  • During this program, your experience will include:
  • • Exposure to discussions on robotic technology, human factors and surgical evaluation tools
  • • Robotic surgical platform training
  • • Hands-on simulation, dry lab experiences
  • • Skill drill exercises
  • • Surgical case observation
  • • Development of competencies and skills to safely operate the Intuitive Surgical DaVinci Robot


Learning Outcome:
A certified robotic Surgeon can perform Head and Neck surgical procedures with enhanced precision,
improved dexterity and allowing them to optimise treatment compared with traditional techniques and
other minimally invasive procedures. Using robotic surgery, surgeons can perform delicate and complex
procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other methods. The journey of a certified Robotic
Head and Neck Surgeon starts with understanding and getting familiar with the advanced systems, followed
by rigorous skill drill exercises and on-site training leading to a formal assessment to be certified as a
Trainee Surgeon. After accomplishing this the surgeon with adequate experience and exposure to open
surgery can apply for dedicated proctorship program under the guidance of Senior Robotic Surgeons to
master the art of robotic surgery and to demonstrate adequate proficiency. After completing the
equivalency pathway training the surgeon is given the coveted tag of a Robotic Surgeon with permanent
credentialing to use the advanced robotic system as a console surgeon.
