The safety course in robotic surgery & clinical immersion

1st & 2nd of october, 2025

Setting new safety and education standards in robotic thoracic surgery: how digitalization could help?

Pr Jean-Marc BASTE

M.D-PhD – Surgeon – Cardiothoracic

This practical course will help you discover the latest technological advances in robotic surgery for the management of lung cancer and mediastinal lesion.

We will focus on two main aspects of the Robotic Platform : the technical part which is mandatory but not sufficient and the second part will emphasize the role of human factors and the team to perform safe and efficient procedures.
This course will draw on the expertise of different specialists: an anesthesiologist, a radiologist, a human factor expert from aviation, a psychologist, a specialist in communication and of course a thoracic surgeon.

Non technical Aspects

One of the problems of minimal invasive thoracic surgery is major intraoperative complications, especially in RATS. To address this safety concern, we started developing new tools 5 years ago with the aim of improving operative safety and using a multidisciplinary approach. One of the main aspects of preventing and managing major complications is based on simulation with team resource management, acute stress management and the development of non-technical skills :
  • Human factors
  • Cognitive tools (robotic check-list, crisis check-list)
  • Team training
  • Stress management
  • Crisis resource management (CRM) using multidisciplinary team simulation

Price : 1400€ per person
