Realistic training. Meaningful repetition. Better prepared surgeons. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to attend a robotic partial nephrectomy training session organised by Intuitive at AB Medica in Milan as part of the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University program led by Dr Simone Scuderi. As surgical education continues to evolve, high-fidelity simulation is becoming an increasingly important component of procedural training. When surgeons can train in an environment that closely reflects the realities of the operating room, they gain valuable opportunities to refine technique, improve procedural efficiency, and build confidence through hands-on repetition. During the course, participants trained using IMRA Surgical's Partial Nephrectomy Class IV model integrated within the IMRA Hydra Torso. Together, these platforms provided a realistic procedural setup that enabled surgeons to practice key steps of robotic partial nephrectomy while replicating anatomical positioning, workflow, and tissue handling as closely as possible. It was inspiring to see surgeons engaging with realistic simulation in a way that supports skill development, deliberate practice, and surgical excellence at every stage of their robotic surgery journey. A special thank you to Luisa Leo and Daniel Gantz for the opportunity to attend and be part of this outstanding educational initiative. #SurgicalTraining #RoboticSurgery #MedicalEducation #SimulationBasedTraining #HealthcareInnovation #PartialNephrectomy #Urology #IMRASurgical

Sharing an edited video of robotic bilateral partial nephrectomy performed for small bilateral renal tumors. Warm ischemia time: 17 min & 21 min. The patient is recovering well with preserved renal function and serum creatinine of 0.8 mg/dL at follow-up. Bilateral nephron-sparing surgery continues to highlight the importance of functional preservation along with oncological safety. 🎥 youtu.be/bLILzEhX0Ks?si=3Ila… #RoboticSurgery #PartialNephrectomy #RoboticPartialNephrectomy #KidneyTumor #NephronSparingSurgery #RenalTumor #Urology #UroOncology #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #RoboticUrology #KidneyCancer #SurgicalVideo #BilateralPartialNephrectomy #PreetiUrologyKidneyHospitals

youtu.be/XuiKMEaMfwU?si=bkzq… Difficult robotic partial nephrectomy case: excessive toxic fat, severe ileus, and no intra-op ultrasound made tumor identification extremely challenging. This turned out to be the smallest tumor I’ve operated on. Despite suboptimal ports for lap conversion, ergonomics for suturing were excellent with the new port placement.

Right Robotic Partial Nephrectomy for a 6 cm upper-pole renal mass with complex vascular anatomy at @NGHAnews Where the Robot truly adds value: precision, control, and the confidence to push nephron-sparing surgery safely— when experience leads the technology. • 🩸 EBL: 190 cc • ⏱️ Warm ischemia: 26 min • 🧪 Post-op renal function: stable • ✅ Recovery: smooth • Final pathology: pT1b, grade 4 clear cell RCC with focal rhabdoid features (negative margins). Grateful to my robotic partner 🤝 @AhmedINazer and the entire OR team—this level of surgery is always a collective effort. #RoboticSurgery #PartialNephrectomy #UroOncology #RenalCancer #RoboticUrology #TeamWork

#Renorrhaphy is one of the most time-sensitive steps in #PartialNephrectomy. In these moments, having a ready-to-use haemostatic option can help surgeons manage bleeding efficiently and avoid delays, which is where #PuraShield (#RADA16) can support. bit.ly/44YAa6I
