Structured robotic surgery education for urologists, residents and fellows combining simulation, laboratory-based training and clinical observation.
Participants can develop skills in robotic system setup, instrument control, camera navigation, suturing, dissection and procedure-specific exercises. Depending on availability, training may include both Multiport and Single-Port robotic surgery.
Choose one pathway or combine multiple training formats.
Training can be adapted to current robotic experience and technical goals.
Platform exposure depends on system, faculty and facility availability.
Robotic surgery training is a structured educational experience designed to develop the technical knowledge, coordination and procedural skills required for robot-assisted surgery.
The aim is to help participants understand robotic systems, improve console skills and practise essential surgical steps in a controlled educational environment without performing procedures on patients.
Previous robotic surgery experience is not necessarily required. The pathway can be adapted for beginner, intermediate and more experienced participants.
Training content is selected according to previous experience, educational objectives, program format and available robotic platforms.
System orientation, console ergonomics, camera navigation, instrument control, clutching and fourth-arm use.
Bimanual control, hand-eye coordination, object transfer, precision movement and economy of motion.
Needle handling, needle positioning, intracorporeal suturing, knot tying and anastomosis techniques.
Retraction, tissue dissection, exposure, energy principles and bleeding-control exercises.
Selected surgical steps for prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, cystectomy, reconstruction and other procedures.
Operating room setup, positioning principles, docking/undocking, emergency undocking and team communication.
Short programs may focus on one training method; broader programs can combine practical training with case discussions and clinical observation.
Console control, coordination, precision and repeatable performance exercises.
Repeated practice with non-biological models, suturing, dissection and reconstruction.
Biological tissue handling, dissection, suturing, reconstruction and hemostasis exercises.
Advanced tissue-response and reconstructive training where institutionally approved and available.
Programs can also focus on selected robotic urology procedures or specific surgical steps, and longer pathways may include observation of real robotic procedures, case discussions and operating room workflow.
Procedure-specific training depends on available platforms, models, faculty and facilities. Exercises do not represent authorization or certification to perform procedures independently on patients.
Instrument-camera coordination, needle handling, posterior reconstruction, bladder neck reconstruction, vesicourethral anastomosis, running sutures and intracorporeal knot tying.
Tumor localization and excision planning, precision cutting, defect assessment, collecting system repair, intracorporeal suturing, renorrhaphy and suture tension control.
Depending on available robotic platforms, participants may receive exposure to both Multiport and Single-Port robotic surgery.
Applicants with a particular platform interest can indicate this during the application process. Specific exposure remains subject to system, faculty and program availability.
The pathway can be calibrated to current robotic skills rather than forcing every participant through the same curriculum.
System orientation, console ergonomics, camera navigation, basic instrument control, clutching, bimanual coordination, object manipulation, needle handling and basic suturing.
Advanced coordination, fourth-arm control, suturing, knot tying, tissue handling, dissection, anastomosis, energy application and efficiency.
Advanced dissection, complex suturing, reconstructive techniques, procedural models, Multiport/Single-Port workflow, case-based learning and challenging-step analysis.
Programs can range from intensive short courses to customized pathways combining practical training and clinical observation.
Focused simulation, dry lab or procedure-specific training in selected technical skills.
Structured simulation, dry lab, suturing, dissection and selected procedure-specific tasks.
Repeated exercises, progressive technical development, procedure-focused practice and faculty feedback.
A combined pathway with simulation, dry lab, selected wet tissue/lab activities, clinical observation, case discussions and platform exposure.
Individualized longer-term training plus observership, selected laboratory sessions, case review and faculty-guided learning.
Focuses on developing technical skills through simulation, dry lab exercises, synthetic models, tissue models and other controlled training environments.
Focuses on observing real procedures, surgical decision-making, operating room organization and postoperative management. Participants do not perform surgery on patients.
When scheduling and institutional arrangements permit, simulation, dry lab, wet tissue or procedure-specific training can be combined with clinical observership, preoperative case discussions and operating room workflow observation.
A primary procedure of interest does not necessarily limit the program to that operation.
The program welcomes international urologists, residents and fellows seeking structured robotic surgery training in Turkey.
Programs can be planned around professional background, previous experience, current technical level, preferred platform, procedures of interest, educational objectives, duration and available dates.
Training pathway matched to level, platform interest, procedure focus and available dates.
Information may be provided about documentation, accommodation and local arrangements.
Istanbul is a major international travel hub serving Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa and surrounding regions.
Turkey combines experience in minimally invasive and robotic urology with access to contemporary robotic platforms, simulation opportunities, laboratory training and clinical observation.
Faculty guidance may include system use, technical skill development, surgical anatomy, planning, operative strategy, suturing, reconstruction, platform-specific workflow and case-based discussion.
No. Programs can be adapted for participants with no previous robotic surgery experience as well as surgeons seeking intermediate, advanced or procedure-specific training.
No. Participation does not provide clinical privileges or authorization to perform surgery on patients.
Potentially yes. Depending on the selected program and facilities, participants may practise using simulators, dry lab models, synthetic models or tissue-based laboratory platforms. Hands-on participation refers to simulation and laboratory-based activities, not surgery on patients.
Potentially, depending on robotic platform, faculty and facility availability.
It may be available for selected programs and dates. Applicants should indicate their interest during the application process.
It may, depending on simulator availability and educational objectives.
Yes. Dry lab training may be included in selected programs and customized pathways.
Potentially, depending on laboratory scheduling, facility availability and institutional requirements.
It may be available on selected dates and is subject to ethical approval, institutional regulations, participant eligibility and facility availability.
Yes. Training may focus on selected steps such as needle handling, suturing, reconstruction and vesicourethral anastomosis.
Potentially yes. Depending on available models and facilities, training may include tumor excision, intracorporeal suturing and renorrhaphy exercises.
Yes, where available. Practical training may be combined with clinical observation.
Programs may range from two or three days to several weeks. Customized combined programs up to three months may be considered.
A certificate of participation or attendance may be provided for selected programs. It does not represent certification of surgical competence or authorization to perform robotic surgery independently.
