Robotic Skills Course - 5 Days

Orsi Academy offers a 5-Day Course in Robotic Urology for fellows, residents and surgeons with advanced robotic exposure who want to learn to perform a RARP independently and effectively.

Proctored by top-experts Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie, Dr. Alessandro Larcher and Dr. Paolo Dell'Oglio.

After completion, participants receive a ERUS/ESU certificate as a console surgeon.

A EAU certificate can be obtained after sending a video for blind reviewing.

1. If you are a fellow in one of the ERUS robotic host centers and have been enrolled in the six month CC-ERUS validated training pathway by EAU, this 5-day course is the mandatory kick-off.
2. If you are NOT a fellow in one of the ERUS robotic host centers, you can still enroll in this Robotic Skills Course. Thus, it serves as a stand-alone skills course.

• one day of basic skills exercises: system overview, simulator training, exercises on pelvic model and Venezuelan chicken
• one day of live case observation at the OLV Hospital in Aalst
• one day of handson training on canine cadaver
• one day of handson training on porcine model: all steps of the RARP & ePLND
• one day of performing full RARP & ePLND procedure on porcine model, when skills level is sufficient
