Advanced Fellowships for the future of robotic surgery.
The Society of Advanced Surgical Robotics (SASR) is committed to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical proficiency. Our fellowship programs are designed for surgeons who seek to transcend conventional boundaries and master the art of robotic-assisted surgery under the guidance of world-renowned mentors
Fellowship Pathways
Training designed around real surgical progression.
From simulation labs to supervised live cases.
The SASR Approach to Surgical Training
True mastery in robotic surgery goes beyond technical skill; it requires the right foundation. We believe that robotic excellence is built on three pillars:
1. Simulation Mastery
Perfecting interface and movements in strictly controlled, low-risk environments.
2. Dual-Console Mentorship
Real-time guidance during live cases with integrated dual-control systems.
3. Clinical Integration
Understanding the 'when' and 'why' - not just the 'how'.
Available Fellowship Programs
Intensive residency-style programs tailored to specific surgical disciplines.
Advanced Fellowship in Robotic Surgical Oncology
- • Focus: Head & Neck, Thoracic, GI, and Urological Cancers.
- • Duration: 6 Months / 1 Year.
- • Overview: Under the leadership of Dr. Surender Kumar Dabas, fellows will participate in high-volume robotic oncology cases, focusing on precision resections and lymphatic mapping.
Fellowship in Robotic Gynaecology & Pelvic Surgery
- • Focus: Complex Hysterectomies, Myomectomies, and Endometriosis.
- • Duration: 3 Months / 6 Months.
- • Overview: Designed for Gynaecologists looking to integrate robotics into their benign and oncological practice. Fellows gain experience in navigating the deep pelvis with the enhanced visualization that only robotics provides.
Short-Term "Fast-Track" Robotic Console Training
- • Focus: Core Robotic Skills & System Orientation.
- • Duration: 2 Weeks (Intensive).
- • Overview: Ideal for established consultants who wish to transition their existing laparoscopic skills to the robotic platform. Includes intensive simulator hours and bedside assistance.
