Sahloul Teaching Hospital in Sousse has held a training session on robotic surgery for its medical staff and resident doctors. Held in the operating theatre of the urology department, it prepares teams for the adoption of robot-assisted techniques, within a surgical department whose post-operative care unit has twelve beds.
What is this robotic surgery training?
to prepare teams before rolling the tool out more widely, and to ground this learning in the real conditions of the operating theatre rather than in a theoretical setting
Sahloul University Hospital in Sousse held a training session devoted to the use of a surgical robot. It was aimed at the institution's medical staff as well as resident doctors, who are expected to become familiar with this tool in their daily practice.
The session was held in the operating theatre of the urology department, in the very conditions where care staff and residents use this robot on a daily basis.
What are the goals for Sahloul Hospital's teams?
At Sahloul Hospital, this initiative aims to prepare teams for the adoption of robot-assisted surgical techniques. The institution intends to strengthen its staff's skills in the face of new technologies, in Sousse.
According to Sahloul Hospital, this training also aims to promote robotic surgery techniques and introduce doctors to their use. The surgical department's post-operative care unit is involved in this effort to prepare teams.
What resources support this skills development?
Robotic surgery cannot be conceived of without an environment that itself meets the quality and safety requirements surrounding it. At Sahloul Hospital, the surgical department's post-operative care unit illustrates this requirement: it has a capacity of 12 beds.
Beyond the number of beds, this unit meets the expected standards, particularly with regard to air-handling systems.
This training session illustrates the approach adopted by Sahloul Hospital in the face of a still-new technology: preparing teams before rolling the tool out more widely, and grounding this learning in the real conditions of the operating theatre rather than in a theoretical setting. The investment in the post-operative care unit, designed to meet the quality and safety requirements that come with robotic surgery, can be seen right down to its air-handling systems.
