Course Overview
This course aims to review the standardised approach of thoracic robotic surgery for lung resection and mediastinal surgery. We will also provide lectures and training about non-technical skills, 3D reconstruction and endobronchial navigation which are the contemporary needs of thoracic surgeons.
Over two days, a panel of European experts will deliver lectures and training on the main contemporary topics of robotic thoracic surgery. It will be the perfect opportunity for sharing experience and questions with experts in the field, in a friendly and less formal. After an overview of the standardised approach of procedure through a “step by step” approach, we will discuss specific non-technical skills implied in a robotic OR with dedicated exercises in groups. Training sessions will focus on two important topics of thoracic surgeons: preoperative planning through 3D reconstruction and new approach of lung exploration with an endobronchial navigation system.
Learning Objectives
- Review of standardized approach for robotic lung resection
- Review of standardized approach for robotic mediastinal surgery
- Insight into non-technical skills with training in small groups
- Lecture and training with 3D reconstruction
- Lecture and training with endobronchial navigation system
