Throughout history, surgery has been transformed by a handful of sweeping advancements: anesthesia, germ theory, medical imaging and the development of minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Each of these has not only expanded the scope of surgery but also improved its accuracy and precision.
The Surgical Learning and Innovation Center of Excellence (SLICE) at the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute is the next chapter in surgical advancement. Our mission is to perfect surgical practice using innovative solutions and transform surgical care for all.
About SLICE
Incubating Ideas Across Disciplines
Thought leaders from across Johns Hopkins Medicine, Johns Hopkins University and beyond have space in SLICE to think creatively, collaborate across disciplines, and solve problems.
Training Surgeons with "Disruptive" Technology
SLICE offers a risk-free, authentic simulation facility for students and surgeons of all skill levels to learn new techniques, procedures and technology without compromising safety. Participants practice on life-like bleeding models, designed to tactilely respond like a real human. These models have been rigorously designed through a multi-physician consensus decision-making process.
Personalizing Care for Patients with Complex and Rare Surgical Cases
Our surgical models are built from images and scans of an individual, replicating the patient's anatomy and pathology in a practice environment. Surgeons are capable of planning, practicing and modifying their surgical approach on personalized models to reduce uncertainty and risk during the real surgery, thereby improving outcomes.
About Our Surgical Models
Our surgical models are rigorously designed through a multi-physician consensus decision-making process. They are constructed using materials to emulate the human body, ensuring trainees experience a near-real life training environment. Below are description videos of our current models.
