Brady-Vattikuti Robotic Academy Hands-On Masterclass

January 13, 2025 – January 18, 2025 | Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland

About the Course

The Brady Urological Institute, in collaboration with the Vattikuti Foundation, are accepting eight participants for the second Brady-Vattikuti Robotic Academy Hands-On Masterclass. This week-long training session includes robotic stations using hydrogel models, operative case observation and simulation training including 1:1 time with robotic surgery experts, who will be there to exchange best practices and respond to questions directly from trainees.

Learning Objectives

After completing this training, participants will be able to: 

1. Explain the approaches, positioning, access, and procedural techniques unique to robotic surgery.
2. Apply the basic skills required for robotic platform through use of hands-on hydrogel models. (i.e., Docking & Instrument insertion, camera articulation, retraction, dissection, suturing and guiding the assistant).
3. Apply techniques to optimize a successful radical prostatectomy extraperitoneal and partial nephrectomy on a realistic hydrogel simulation.
4. Recall and demonstrate tips and tricks to successfully perform radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy.
5. Avoid and troubleshoot potential errors during robotic radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy.
