Surgical teams have taken part in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland’s (RCSI) first-ever robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) training programmes, run in collaboration with Intuitive.

The programmes took place at the National Surgical and Clinical Skills Centre at RCSI and saw attendees, including nurses and theatre teams, experience hands-on training on the da Vinci Xi surgical system, provided by Intuitive, the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery.
