Introduction To Robotics for Maxillofacial Surgery

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.
