The Instituto de Cirurgia Robótica do Triângulo (ICR.T), in partnership with Hospital UMC (Uberlândia Medical Center), launched the Robotic Surgery Course and Certification in Urology, exclusively aimed at urologist physicians interested in training, improvement, and certification in the field. The program was structured to offer different levels of training, following the professional from the fundamentals of robotic surgery to console practice, according to the chosen modality.
The course is coordinated by urologists Dr. Victor Hugo Borges Silva and Dr. Leandro Alves de Oliveira, with the participation of preceptor physicians who have experience in robotic surgery. The practical activities will be carried out at Hospital UMC, in Uberlândia, which has the Vinci robotic platform and adequate infrastructure for training and simulation.
According to Dr. Victor Hugo Borges Silva, the training of a robotic surgeon needs to involve different stages before working on the console. The program was developed to ensure that professionals go through a gradual learning process, acquiring the necessary skills at each stage before advancing to practice with the robotic equipment.
