Established robotic platforms and their specific user case advantages
13th November 2025, 14:00 to 15:00 GMT / 19:30 to 20:30 IST
Overview
Modern robotic systems have transformed minimally invasive surgery, offering superior precision, ergonomics, and 3-D visualization. Each established platform provide some unique advantages including modular flexibility, multi-quadrant versatility, advanced technologies, compact designs for limited-space theatres, and cost-effective options for high-volume centers. Emerging single-port and tele-robotic systems further enhance access, safety, reproducibility, and recovery across surgical specialties. Thsi webinar is aimed at healthcare professionals interested in advancing their skills and knowledge in robotic surgery through the effective use of diverse, cutting-edge surgical armamentarium.
Aims
The webinar will enhance understanding of established robotic platforms, their unique advantages, and clinical applications, fostering informed adoption, multidisciplinary collaboration, and improved surgical precision across specialties.
