According to Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, CEO of the US-based Vattikuti Foundation, we should focus on how new robotic technology is being used during operations to improve patient outcomes as well as the surgeon's didactic and training skills. The predictive model should capture data before, during, and after. ,
“We encourage teams of accomplished surgeons to create high-quality digital submissions showcasing their most extraordinary surgical work using the latest technological advances,” Bhandari said.
Vattikuti Foundation has also announced the 2024 edition of its 'K International Innovation Awards in Robotic Surgery'.
The scope of the multidisciplinary technology competition has been expanded to two separate tracks – Robotic Process Innovation and Technologica Innovation.
According to the foundation, robotic procedure innovation entries can be from cardiovascular, general surgery, gynecology, head and neck, microsurgery, organ transplantation, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pediatrics, urology and other fields.Entries for technological innovation will include areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Imaging Modalities, Robotic Systems, Tele Surgery, Training Modalities, Virtual Reality and others.
Launched in 2015, the competition is open to robotic surgeons, medical school faculty and students, providing an opportunity to closely examine the technologies and procedures being used globally.
The 2023 KS Innovation Awards saw entries submitted by 429 surgeons from 14 countries across 10 different specialties.
Meanwhile, the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, has announced its first Brady-Vatikuti Robotic Academy Masterclass in Urology under the guidance of skilled robotic surgeons.
The week-long masterclass, starting May 13, will include several hours of live CAS observations with experts, simulation sessions and proctor-led procedural training, the foundation said.
