Surgery
Iavante’s comprehensive surgery programme provides training and research in three general areas in the field of Minimally Invasive Surgery:
- Endoscopic surgery
- Robotic surgery
- Microsurgery
The programme is held in the Advanced Multifunctional Centre for Simulation and Technological Innovation (CMAT), Iavante’s centre in Granada.
Iavante’s teaching approach involves training with physical and virtual reality simulators and with animal models or human anatomical models in a setting designed to mirror real clinical conditions and their context. This type of training can be applied to individual technical skills and also to surgical teams wishing to develop both technical and non-technical skills, and further develops the patient safety culture.
For its robotic surgery programme, CMAT uses the da Vinci®Surgical System, being one of only two training centres outside the United States where surgical team can be qualified in the use of this emerging technology. In addition to this, the experimental robotic surgery programme enables progress to be made in specialist surgical techniques that have not yet been fully applied to robotic surgery. Contributing to the development of robotic surgery is an extremely important line of work with international repercussions.
