Symposium Summary 

World-renowned experts in minimally invasive robotic surgery will present their 

approaches to surgical cases in a multidisciplinary symposium with live cases and 

concurrent sessions on gynecology, gynecologic oncology, urology, thoracic, 

cardiac, bariatric, colorectal and ENT surgery. 

The opening plenary session will cover robotic surgery and the robotic surgery 

center from all angles. Attendees will learn strategies for launching a successful 

robotics program — from a single-robot center to a leading multi-robot institution. 

In addition, two half-day sessions offered on Saturday morning will provide participants 

with access to the Center for Robotic Surgery at South Miami Hospital. These 

include a session on thoracic surgery with a live case observation and a track geared 

specifically to Allied Healthcare Professionals. (Space is limited for these two sessions.) 

Symposium Objectives 

At the conclusion of this symposium, participants should be better able to: 

■ Compare the benefits of robotic surgery to open surgery and traditional 

laparoscopic surgery. 

■ Utilize or recommend robotic surgery for appropriately selected patients who 

would benefit from minimally invasive surgery. 

■ Review the current literature on robotic surgery as it applies to each 

■ 

■ 

■ 

subspecialty, and recognize how minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized 

the surgical field. 

Implement safe and effective protocols for the use of robotic surgery in 

gynecology, gynecologic oncology, urology, general and bariatric surgery, 

colorectal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery and ENT surgery. 

Recognize the importance of and utilize proper patient positioning for each 

specific type of robotic surgery. 

Develop and implement an efficiency model for a robotic surgery program. 

Allied Healthcare Professional Track Objectives 

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be better able to: 

■ Train staff members for robotic surgery. 

■ Formulate a strategy to develop and build an effective team for a robotic 

surgery program. 

■ Identify potential team members and explain their respective roles and 

requirements. 

■ Develop a plan for efficient operating room setup, including proper patient 

positioning for specific types of surgery. 

■ Identify instrumentation and equipment needed for specific robotic procedures. 

■ Examine the processes for decontamination and sterilization of instrumentation. 

■ Develop and implement an efficiency model for a robotic surgery program.
