United states : OU Unveils New Robotics Training Center for Surgeons.Byline: manish03 The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine was founded in 1900 as a medical department of the University of Oklahoma at its main campus in Norman. Lawrence N. Upjohn, M.D. is regarded as the "founding dean" and served from 1900-1904. has opened the region s first advanced robotics surgical training center. OU is one of only two academic medical centers in the nation chosen as a premier training site for surgeons by Intuitive Surgical Intuitive Surgical Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG) is a corporation that manufactures robotic surgical systems, most notably the da Vinci Surgical System. Intuitive Surgical has a market capitalization of 9.77 billion USD and is part of the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 400 MidCap Indices. , Inc., the top manufacturer of robotic surgical equipment in the world. The $1.8 million addition to the Clinical Skills Education and Testing Center (CSETC) was completed in just two months time with funding and construction oversight from the University Hospitals Authority and Trust. It features two fully equipped simulated operating rooms operating room n. Abbr. OR A room equipped for performing surgical operations. where surgeons from throughout Oklahoma and across the nation will train on the newest generation of robotics surgery equipment. The OU College of Medicine continues to strive to be at the cutting-edge of medicine and medical technology. Not only are we doing robotics surgeries in our hospitals, but now our Clinical Skills Education and Testing Center is training surgeons from throughout Oklahoma and beyond in these advanced surgical techniques, said M. Dewayne Andrews, M.D., executive dean of the OU College of Medicine. We chose the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine as a da Vinci da Vinci Surgery A surgical robot for performing certain surgeries–eg, mitral valve repair and laparoscopic procedures–eg, cholecystectomy and gastric ulcer repair. See Laparoscopic surgery, Robotics, Surgical robot. Surgical SystemA; training site because of their commitment to multi-specialty robotic surgery Using robots in the operating room to assist the surgeon in performing surgery. The surgeon views the patient via a terminal and manipulates robotic surgical instruments via a control panel. Views of the organs being worked on are transmitted from tiny cameras inserted into the body. and to training current and future health care providers, said Timothy White Timothy White (January 25, 1952 - June 27, 2002) was a noted rock music journalist and editor. White began his journalism career as a writer for the Associated Press, but soon gravitated towards music writing. , Western U.S. Training Director, Intuitive Surgical. The OU Clinical Skills Center is an exceptional facility, providing a training environment that is remarkable in design, equipment and staffing. The da VinciA; Si is a physician-controlled robotic system robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing of goods and services Surgery An AI-based surgical assistant system, which processes sensory input from haptic interfaces and/or allows surgeons to act with more accuracy than that has several unique features designed to increase clinical benefits and efficiency in the operating room. Robotics takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand to potentially extend minimally invasive surgery minimally invasive surgery Laparoscopic surgery, see there. See Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. to even more patients even those with complex conditions that previously could not be treated with a minimally invasive approach. The addition of robotics surgery to the training available on this campus is another example of our steadfast commitment to further enhancing the high caliber of medical education and training provided to both physicians and future physicians here in Oklahoma, said Mike Samis, chairman of the University Hospitals Authority and Trust.
