PRE-CONGRESS COURSE

Pre-congress course: Robotic surgery in gynecology (40 places)

ABOUT THE COURSE

Comprehensive training

Robotic surgery represents the natural evolution of minimally invasive surgery, offering precision, improved ergonomics, enhanced vision and unprecedented opportunities for technological integration. In the current setting, it is no longer just a tool, but part of a broader ecosystem of decision-making, preoperative planning and data-guided surgical execution.

This intensive course was carefully structured to provide an immersive, practical experience — combining live surgery with in-depth discussions, scientific update sessions, technical standardization and exposure to emerging technologies (AI, augmented reality and next-generation robotic platforms).

The program was designed to be relevant to surgeons beginning their robotic journey and equally challenging and enriching for experienced robotic surgeons seeking improved performance, greater predictability and strategies for consistent results in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES

What you will learn

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the current role of robotic surgery in managing major gynecological conditions and its advantages over conventional techniques.
  • Implement or improve a robotic surgery program efficiently, safely and with economic viability.
  • Apply standardized techniques for hysterectomy, myomectomy and endometriosis treatment using advanced robotic principles.
  • Recognize the specific limitations and advantages of robotic platforms, including docking strategies, instrument selection and surgical workflow organization.
  • Integrate contemporary technologies, such as fluorescence (ICG), machine learning and image navigation, into surgical planning.
