The future of robotic surgery training has been tested, evaluated and is ready for the next step
Over the past year, CCR has worked hard to develop and test a cost-effective platform for training in robotic surgery – and the results are promising!
The project is clinically anchored in the Department of Urology at OUH, which has contributed valuable experience and sparring. The Simulation Centre SimC has been responsible for testing and assessment, while SDU Robotics has developed, delivered and lent the solution. Universal Robots has delivered one of the robot arms, and CCR has been responsible for project management and support of the entire process. The project is supported by OUH’s Innovation Fund.
In the first phase of the project, which consisted of a feasibility study, surgeons from several specialties have tested the system. The feedback has been both positive and constructive, and a majority of the participants expressed interest in using a fully developed version for future training.
The next phase is already in sight. More funds have been sought to further develop the solution and take the system to the next level.
Thank you to all clinicians and partners for your commitment, professionalism and curiosity – we look forward to continuing the journey towards better, more accessible and technologically supported surgical training.
