IDOR’s short-term Training Course in Transoral Robotic Surgery was developed to provide advanced and practical training in this innovative technique. Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive approach that allows for the removal of tumors and the treatment of obstructive airway disorders through access via the oral cavity. This course combines theoretical learning with hands-on practice using state-of-the-art equipment.

During the course, participants will explore the fundamentals of TORS and perform simulated procedures. Clinical and technical aspects, along with management strategies to enhance patient outcomes and safety in cases of obstructive airway disorders, will also be addressed.

– What is the objective of the course?
The course was designed to train professionals specializing in Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery to incorporate transoral robotic surgery into their daily clinical practice.

– How was the course curriculum designed?
The curriculum is unique in the world and was developed to integrate theoretical and practical content. It covers not only the technical use of the robotic platform but also patient selection, procedure indication, simulations, and live surgeries in both observer and assistant roles.

– How was the faculty structured, and how do these instructors contribute to the students’ learning experience?
The faculty was selected based on the premise of delivering clinical training. All instructors have academic and practical experience in the various topics covered. The course coordinators have international experience and have published multiple articles in the field.

– What sets this course at IDOR apart? Which aspect would you highlight as the main differential?
The main highlight is the hands-on component, with one week of clinical immersion involving case discussions, live surgeries (as observer/assistant), and 3D model hands-on surgery.

– How does the course prepare students for the job market? What challenges will they be equipped to face upon completion?
All necessary components for proper indication and execution of the procedure will enable students to immediately incorporate this technology into their clinical practice, under the supervision of the course coordinators. The main challenge will be returning to traditional surgical methods after experiencing the advantages of robotic technology.
