RoSS Testimonials
Dr. Neelima Lakshmikanth M.D, Consultant Gynecologist, KIMS Hospital, Hyderabad, India (after completing the Robot-Assisted Surgery Training Course at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY):
"I am grateful and thrilled to inform you that I have done my first Robotic hysterectomy on 29 sep, 2011 i.e three days after my arrival from your training program. The RoSS has been of great help in understanding the robotic principles."
Dr. Ellen L Brock, Associate Professor, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Medical Director, Center for Human Simulation and Patient Safety Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia had this to say about RoSS:
"The RoSS simulator allows our residents to become proficient at the robotic console outside the OR. Residents are better able to focus on critical elements of the surgery when they are not attempting mastery of the console at the same time. Skills practice on the RoSS simulator has quickly become a key part of our robotic surgery training."
Dr. Joseph Barone, Professor of Urology and Director of Robotic Surgery, Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, had this to say after a couple of weeks with the RoSS:
'Training with the RoSS is going well. The residents are actually using it without my encouragement which is unusual for a simulator."
Dr. Ronney Abaza, Director of Robotic Urologic Surgery, Ohio State University Medical Center and James Cancer Hospital, Ohio commented on HoST:
"The HoST system is nothing less than a game-changer in the world of surgical education. Why nobody thought of it before is hard to fathom in hindsight."
