Robotic Surgery Training Gain hands-on exposure to robotic surgery through console training, wet and dry labs, live procedures, and expert-led discussions.
Introduction
Robotic surgery is transforming modern surgical practice by combining advanced technology with enhanced precision, control, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. As robotic-assisted procedures continue to evolve, structured training and practical exposure are essential for developing the technical understanding and skills required for their safe and effective clinical application.
The Robotic Surgery Training workshop at FHCC 2026 is designed to provide participants with hands-on exposure to robotic surgery through console training, wet and dry labs, live procedures, and expert-led discussions. The workshop will combine practical learning with interaction with experienced robotic, laparoscopic, bariatric, and vascular surgeons, helping participants strengthen their understanding of advanced robotic surgical practice and programme development.
Workshop Objectives
The workshop aims to provide an immersive learning experience that introduces participants to key components of robotic surgical practice while offering practical exposure to robotic surgery training.
- Provide hands-on exposure to robotic surgery and console-based training.
- Develop practical understanding through wet and dry laboratory training.
- Provide exposure to live robotic surgical procedures and their clinical application.
- Facilitate expert-led discussions on safe and advanced robotic surgical practice.
- Build greater understanding of the requirements and considerations involved in robotic surgery programme development.
