About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Smith, an expert in pediatric neurosurgery and the lead instructor for the new Masterclass Certificate in Pediatric Robotic Neurosurgery. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about this course? GUEST: Absolutely, this Masterclass is designed for pediatric neurosurgeons, neurologists, and surgical residents who want to learn cutting-edge robotic surgery techniques for minimally invasive procedures. HOST: That sounds fascinating. How did you get into this field, and what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: I've always been interested in exploring new technologies and techniques to improve patient outcomes. With the advancements in robotic surgery and its potential to transform pediatric neurosurgery, I saw an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with others. HOST: Speaking of which, what are some of the current trends or challenges in pediatric robotic neurosurgery? GUEST: One trend we're seeing is the growing adoption of image-guided surgery and neuronavigation, which allows for more precise and targeted interventions. As for challenges, operating on young patients can be difficult due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics, so mastering the techniques and nuances is crucial. HOST: I can imagine. Now, how does this course help learners overcome these challenges and enhance their skills? GUEST: The course covers surgical planning, instrumentation, and post-operative care in depth, giving learners a comprehensive understanding of the entire process. We also focus on hands-on training to help learners gain proficiency and confidence in using robotic systems. HOST: That sounds incredibly thorough. Looking to the future, where do you see pediatric robotic neurosurgery heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see advancements in robotic technology and image guidance, leading to even less invasive procedures and better patient outcomes. It's an exciting time to be in this field. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. We're confident that this Masterclass will help transform pediatric neurosurgical practices and improve patient care. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to seeing the positive impact this course will have on the medical community.
