Manipal Hospitals Introduces Robotics Simulation Workshop for Aspiring Surgeons

On Tuesday, Manipal Hospitals inaugurated a state‑of‑the‑art robotics simulation workshop in Udupi District. The initiative, part of the hospital’s outreach to medical trainees, offers hands‑on training in robotic surgical procedures using the latest simulation technology.

The workshop, designed for final‑year medical students and residents, covers key aspects of robotic surgery including instrument control, skill assessment, and procedural planning. By integrating virtual reality and haptic feedback, participants gain practical experience without the risks associated with live operating rooms.

Experts within Manipal’s surgical team say the program will bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing future surgeons to meet the growing demand for minimally invasive techniques. Participants are expected to benefit from enhanced dexterity, greater procedural confidence, and a smoother transition to real‑world robotic surgery. Source: Google News – Manipal.
