Vattikuti Urology Institute has recently organized The International Robotic Urology Symposium (IRUS) in Las Vegas
The International Robotic Urology Symposium (IRUS) has held in between January15-17, 2010 at the fabulous Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. This event was hosted by Vattikuti Urology Institute. International Robotic Urology Symposium (IRUS) is an annual conference which featuring the latest in robotic urologic surgery presented through intensive courses and leading robotic surgeons.
- (1888PressRelease) April 03, 2010 - Dr Mani Menon who is Pioneering robotic surgeon was the event's symposium director. IRUS has provided the platform for the leading minds in the field of robotic urology to come together and exchange their ideas on minimally invasive urologic surgery. The symposium attracts surgeons, urology specialists, nurses, operating room coordinators, hospital administrators, and residents from around the world. Intuitive Surgical, one of America's fastest growing companies, is among the event's prominent sponsors and has also featured the event on its homepage. Vattikuti Urology Institute in the field of minimally invasive surgery has allowed IRUS to host more than 50 faculty members including many of the world's prominent robotic surgeons and two former presidents of the American Urological Association. International Robotic Urology Symposium (IRUS) was basically focused on robotic kidney surgery and the myriad of surgical approaches to it. Some main procedure which was discussed for robotic kidney surgery are :
Robotic Radical Nephrectomy
Robotic Pyeloplasty
Robotic Nephroureterectomy
Robotic Pyelolithotomy
Robotic Renal Cyst Decortication:
Robotic Radical Cystectomy:
Some of the benefits of robotic kidney surgery was also discussed in Symposium like
It decreased risk of injury to bowel or other nearby organs
• Faster return of bowel function after surgery
• Reduced hospital stay (one day in healthy patients)
• Less postoperative pain and less need for pain medication
• Quicker return to normal activity and work
Other sessions were also held which offerings OR management for robotic surgery, economics for robotic programs, robotic pediatric urology, robotic bladder surgery, robotic gynecologic surgery and robotic prostate cancer surgery. Faculty members, robotic surgeons and former presidents of the American Urological Association have also observed live surgeries and 3D surgical video sessions.
