The program is designed for training and practicing robotic surgeons, surgical first assistants, allied health professionals as well as medical personnel interested in advancing their knowledge of minimally invasive robotic surgery.
“Collaborative discussions, informative lectures and review of complex case studies have made our symposium the preferred choice of surgeons, year after year,” Dr. Im said.
Participating course faculty will offer experience, insights and best-in-practice standards to ensure attendees gain clinical knowledge and a better understanding of robotic surgery.
According to Dr. Im, past conferences have featured demonstrations of advanced robotic techniques with both multi-port and single site procedures; discussion of single-site hysterectomy, uterine manipulation, managing robotic complications, pelvic anatomy, etc.
The National Institute of Robotic Surgery is led by Dr. Dwight Im, Director, The Gynecologic Oncology Center at Mercy. Dr. Im is the first Gynecologic Oncology Epicenter Surgery in the nation and one of the first six physicians in the country trained to perform robotic single-site gynecologic surgery. Dr. Im will instruct participants in complex robot-assisted hysterectomy, including the use of the IMSWAY technique.
