Welcome Message



Dear esteemed members,

As the President of the Korea Association of Robotic Surgery (KAROS), it is my great pleasure to welcome you all to this international conference of robotic surgery. We will gather here not only to explore the future of robotic surgery but also to share our wisdom and experiences in this dynamic field.

This conference features exciting 4 live surgeries and unedited videos, allowing us to witness real-time surgical performance of expert surgeons. These experiences will enhance your expertise and provide invaluable insights into the innovations in robotic surgery. We are also thrilled to announce a collaborative symposium with robotic surgery associations from India (ARIS) and Taiwan (TRSA), culminating in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This partnership aims to foster mutual growth and development in robotic surgery across the Asian region.

During joining academic symposiums, you will have the opportunity to access the latest robotic surgery information across various surgical specialties. Engaging with experts from diverse fields will allow for rich discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas. Additionally, we will host a pre-congress workshop where participants can engage in hands-on experience with the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. This workshop is designed to enhance your practical skills and knowledge.

Importantly, our conference will also include the participation of residents and nurses, our invaluable collaborators in the robotic surgery room. Their active involvement is crucial for fostering a comprehensive approach to patient care of robotic surgery.

I sincerely hope that this conference serves as a platform for mutual advancement towards the safe and efficient establishment and utilization of robotic surgery in our practices.

Thank you for being here, and let us make the most of this opportunity together!


Chang Moo Kang
President
The Korean Association of Robotic Surgeons
