Chirurgia Robotica – Applicazione del Robot in Endocrinochirurgia

Robotic surgery is now an established reality in the world of healthcare in a great many countries. Therefore, it becomes important to unify the various skills necessary for the adoption of this surgical technique through an overview. This is what this course proposes, in which basic information on instrument technology is complemented by a series of teachings designed to familiarize the student with the complex robotic instrumentation and its future evolution. There is no doubt that among the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine and surgery, a prominent role will be played by robotic surgery, which will achieve full autonomy in the not-so-distant future. For this reason, it is essential to acquire specific professional skills in order not to lose, in the face of the inevitable developments that robotics will have, that advantage that Italy has achieved through a first-rate diffusion of equipment allocated in the various Italian hospitals, both public and private. Becoming familiar not only with the use of the robot in one's surgical discipline, but with all the technology that underlies it becomes indispensable in the face of the challenges that await the national health care system. The expected investments in health care will have to find adequate support from the various medical specialists, and those of them who will lend their work in a surgical setting will hardly be able to do without acquiring specific skills on such a constantly expanding field.
