First Toumai at Orsi Academy!

We are excited to announce a groundbreaking moment at Orsi Academy: the European training debut of MicroPort®’s innovative Toumai® robotic surgical system integrating our Proficiency-Based Progression methodology! This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration between Orsi Academy and MicroPort®.

The arrival of the Toumai® system underscores Orsi Academy’s commitment to advancing surgical excellence through cutting-edge technology and transformative training methodologies. By integrating this advanced system into our training labs, we reaffirm our mission to improve surgical outcomes and enhance patient safety. By providing safe, effective and precise training, we aim to reduce complication rates and elevate the overall quality of surgical procedures.

Earlier this year, MicroPort®’s leadership explored Orsi Academy’s state-of-the-art facilities, recognizing a shared vision for refining best practices in minimally invasive surgery.

Looking ahead, the next decade promises to bring even more profound changes in robotic surgery than the past century has witnessed. To maintain healthcare standards that are safe, objective and evidence-based, high-quality robotic training is essential for ensuring surgeon to proficiency and maintaining patient safety. While robotic surgery offers immense potential to revolutionize healthcare, as well as telesurgery and tele-mentoring, it is important to remember that technology alone isn’t enough – proper training is key! As we say, “a fool with a tool is still a fool.”
