BIARGS/Intuitive Pre-Congress Masterclass 2026

Not "how to use the robot" - but how to operate robotically better, and what to do when things go wrong.

Course director: Miss Inna Sokolova

This course is aimed at Consultant Gynaecologists, senior trainees and fellows, SCPs and robotic theatre teams.

Small group rotations, morning and afternoon - the afternoon round steps up to difficult cases.

FOUR HANDS ON STATIONS -

• XI Console: Purposeful Skills.
• Port Placement Challenge
• Trouleshooting
• Emergency Undocking

ADVANCED AFTERNOON -

• Strategy, not tricks:
• The hostile pelvis
• The very large uterus
• Deep endometriosis
• The bleeding case
• Suturing and reconstruction

THE FINALE - The Robotic Nightmare

An unrehearsed whole-team crisis situation: bleeding, failing BP, a system failure and emergency undocking - then a structured debrief.
