The 2023 KS International Innovation Awards differed from the 2022 event in many ways. The event moved to Europe and was held in Ghent, Belgium. The symposium Humans at the Cutting Edge of Robotic Surgery was held in partnership with Orsi Academy. This three-day event covered 10 specialties.
This year, the Vattikuti Foundation partnered with Orsi Academy as the venue for the prestigious Humans at the Cutting Edge of Robotic Surgery academic symposium as both organizations are committed to supporting the advancement of robotic surgery to improve patient outcomes. The Vattikuti Foundation is a catalyst for robotic surgical advancements, combining promotion of cutting-edge technology and surgeon education. The transference of knowledge that takes place from the invited participants provides newly initiated robotic surgeons to be face- to-face and learn from the experience of giants in their field so that they may offer state of art surgical care to the patients in their part of the world.
Based on a rigorous judging and review process, the Foundation chose from the highest-ranking entries of the KS International Innovation Awards and grouped by them domain. This rigorous academic symposium is designed as an optimal environment for the robotic surgeons to present and defend their work before the gathering of the world’s finest key opinion leaders.
The intimate setting allows the reputation of the innovators to grow and share their findings, instill inspiration and foster the learnings and exchange of knowledge and technique so that their procedures have a greater likelihood to be replicated, become standard of care, and exponentially improve patient outcomes to people living around the world.
The goal of the awards is to recognize surgical talent and share new, cutting-edge educational robotic surgery videos with the world.
Congratulations and thanks to the Participants of the Humans at the Cutting Edge of Robotic Surgery Academic Symposium.
