Robotic Surgery Fundamentals: Console Skills & Docking

Training Overview

Robotic Surgery Fundamentals: Console Skills & Docking is a comprehensive, simulation-based surgical education program designed for urologists, robotic surgeons, and surgical residents aiming to build foundational skills in robotic surgery. This two-day course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on simulation, focusing on robotic console operation, docking techniques, instrument handling, and basic procedural workflows.

The program begins with detailed sessions on robotic system components, ergonomics, patient positioning, and port placement. Participants learn essential principles of robotic surgery, including console navigation, instrument articulation, and coordination for efficient and safe robotic procedures.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to practice robotic docking, camera control, instrument manipulation, suturing, and basic procedural tasks using high-fidelity robotic simulators. Expert faculty provide step-by-step guidance to ensure mastery of console skills, dexterity, and workflow optimization.

Interactive video demonstrations, case-based discussions, and faculty-led debriefings help participants refine techniques, troubleshoot common errors, and develop effective communication within the robotic surgical team. Structured feedback enhances technical competence and procedural confidence.

By the end of the program, participants will have acquired the core robotic surgery skills required to operate the console, dock the robot safely, and perform basic robotic tasks efficiently, establishing a strong foundation for advanced robotic procedures.
