Orsi's top five highlights for EAU22

• Modern education & resident's surgical training in 2022

The congress will kick off on Friday with a abstract session on modern education and resident’s surgical training in 2022.
Orsi experts Dr. Ruben De Groote & Dr. Stefano Puliatti will present their scientific work on proficiency-based robotic training in urology. Insights on the development and validation of the metric-based assessment of a robotic dissection task on an avian model & their trial that points out the efficiency & effectiveness of surgical training with a PBP-approach.

Later that day Dr. Ruben De Groote will elaborate on the need for training facilities as Orsi Academy and all the advantages & challenges this entails.

Throughout the congress, our scientific & clinical fellows Dr. Marco Paciotti, Dr. Carlo Bravi & Dr. Luca Sarchi will present their exceptional scientific research on robotic surgery in abstract sessions.

Next to that, Dr. Carlo Bravi will also engage in a debate on controversies in onco-urology and discuss if young surgeons should still be trained to open surgery in the robotic era.

• How do we train with all this: The importance of metrics and standardisation

How to standardise training in a safe environment before trainees go to the OR?

To complete the ERUS-meeting, Prof. Anthony Gallagher, Orsi's Director of Research & Skills Development, will emphasize the importance of metrics and standardisation in a state-of-the-art lecture.

We want to lift training to a higher level with proficiency-based progression learning outside of the OR away from the human patient. When it comes to modern training & education in robotic surgery, an objective, transparant and fair methodology is a must!

• Robotic assisted prostatectomy using the Medtronic Hugo RAS system

Last but not least, technology developments will never end! Watch Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie performing a robot-assisted prostatectomy using the Medtronic Hugo RAS System during the meeting of the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT).

As pioneer in Europe, he performed the first procedure with the Hugo robot in Europe and is eager to share his personal views on the new robotic system.
