World Robotic Symposium 2011Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)

Loews Miami Beach Hotel

Miami Beach, Florida

June 27-28, 2011

Welcome to theWorld Robotic Symposium 2011

Dear Colleague,

As of December 2009, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of the da Vinci surgical system for selected malignancies of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx and all benign disease. Since FDA approval, there continues to be exciting and important developments in the area of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for both malignant and benign lesions. TORS utilizing the da Vinci surgical system has, during the past five years, been shown to be of great benefit for our patients, for selected benign and malignant lesions. The most important development this past year has been the establishment of the world’s first TORS surgeon-led training program at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This past year, we have well surpassed the goal of training more than 100 surgeons in the TORS techniques.

The two-day international conference, hosted by Florida Hospital, focuses entirely on the new field of TORS with a special emphasis on how to proceed with training, as well as how to successfully establish a TORS program once training is complete. Experts from around the world will highlight these issues throughout the two-day symposium. These applications include TORS treatment of lesions of the tongue base, tonsil, supraglottis, parapharyngeal space and skull base. We will also have special sessions on transaxillary as well as the facelift approach for robotic thyroidectomy. Another special focus will be on the new application of TORS tongue-base resection for sleep apnea.

We are bringing together an international faculty to present the broad array of clinical topics that we believe will make this an outstanding meeting, the Second Annual Meeting of the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS). As first president of the SRS, I have worked hard to help ensure that this new international multidisciplinary society, with more than 350 members, is focused on education and dissemination of new ideas as they relate to robotic surgery. Head and neck surgery, as a discipline, has played a prominent role in the founding of this society and will continue to be an integral part of this society going forward. Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,

Gregory S. Weinstein, M.D.Professor and Vice ChairDirector, Division of Head and Neck SurgeryThe Department of Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck SurgeryThe University of Pennsylvania

Robotics and Health Care Administration (One-day June 27 or Three-day June 27-29 Session)Robotic surgical technology has resulted in an economic challenge in many aspects of health care. The phenomenal rise in the adoption of robotic surgery has shown us that hospital administrators have seen the economic benefits to the health system and the improvement in patient care. This session features some of the leaders in robotic surgery economics and will focus on how to take the program to the next level through:

• Building a multi-specialty program

• Economic model: distribution of capital expenditure

• Successful strategies in robotic finance

• Cost-containment strategies

• Key factors to success of the programNOTE: Those attendees who register for the three-day option will attend one specialty session indicated in registration for each of the other two days

Allied Health (One-day June 29 or Three-day June 27-29 Session)The introduction of robotic surgical technology and extraction of the primary surgeon from the patient bedside has highlighted the importance of the “Surgical Team.” Teamwork is now the key to a program’s success and to improve overall patient surgical outcomes. This year’s course will focus on:

• Assisting during robotic surgery: video-based analysis of the key steps

• Management of the robotic OR: room turn over, draping, instrumentation, and running multiple cases simultaneously

• OR efficiency

• Team Training: how to obtain the best from your team

• Video footage of assisting and operating room flow, OR turn over and draping of the robot

• Pre-and post-operative care of the robotic surgery patientNOTE: Those attendees who register for the three-day option will attend one specialty session indicated in registration for each of the other two days
