Australian Robotic Surgeons Prof. Declan Murphy and Dr. Renu Eapen have an exclusive video tour of the ORSI Academy. It's a very fun, slick GU Cast behind-the-scenes look at one of the foremost robotic surgery training facilities in the world.
From the YouTube description:
"Declan and Renu travelled to this remarkable facility just outside Ghent in Belgium, jammed full of tens of millions of dollars worth of robotic surgery technology from the world's top providers - Intuitive Surgical, Medtronic, Microport and more. Every day, surgeons from all around the world are getting hands-on experience using the latest robotic surgery technology in an array of training environments. Plus, ORSI Academy hosts many academic programs, live surgery events, telesurgery demonstrations, and is actually expanding to do even more! We get a superb tour of the building hosted by Urologist, Dr Ruben de Groote, who also tells us about Surgquest, the digital arm of ORSI Academy, which hosts an incredible library of surgical education videos, and we also chat with ORSI Academy founder and CEO, Dr Alex Mottrie, world-renowned urologist and pioneer of robotic surgery. Plus, we hear first hand from senior Urology Fellows, Dr Edoardo Beatrici, and Dr Mario de Angelis, about how the ORSI Academy proficiency-based progression training works in practice."
Many of us at the Vattikuti Foundation have had the opportunity to visit our friends and partners at ORSI. We enjoyed this program, and think you will, too, because it gives viewers a good look at the many facets of work going on there. (We noticed that there are even a few shots inside of the Padma and Raj Vattikuti Auditorium!) Here's the link:
