In what will be an Australianfirst ,the Victorian Government has announced plans to create a robot academy that will train surgeons in how to use the advanced tech to perform leading edgeprocedures on hard-to reach and small spaces in the body.

The robot academy is primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer but has also been harnessed for gynecological procedures, as well as ear,nose and throat surgeries.

Its precision leads to improved patient survival rates, lower infection rates, shorter hospital stays and faster recoveries.

The robot academy will contain virtual reality simulators for surgeons to use to build their skills. The state-of-the-art technology provides feedback on the efficiency of their movements and errors during simulated surgeries, allowing clinical specialists to grow in proficiency before conducting procedures on live patients.

Robotics surgery currently is being conducted at a relatively small number of private hospitals in Victoria and the training will allow it to become more commonplace throughout the state and beyond, in what has been described as a major advance in everyday surgery and during the live surgery broadcast.
