We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the UVATS/RATS Masterclass program, which took place from November 22th-23th in the vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal. This event marked another significant chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Reach Surgical and UMICS Academy, underscoring our shared dedication to advancing surgical training and innovation.
The program brought together 19 distinguished surgeons from Belgium, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong and other regions, offering them an unparalleled opportunity to deepen their expertise. Led by esteemed expert Prof. Dr.Diego Gonzalez Rivas and Prof. Dr.Javier Gallego Poveda, MD, PhD, FETCS, FACS, FESC, the course provided a rich learning experience.
Over the course of two intensive days, attendees engaged in a balanced mix of theoretical learning, live surgical observations, and hands-on practice. Participants were able to witness live surgeries at Hospital LusÃadas Lisboa and immediately apply their insights in the cadaver lab, working with some of Reach Surgical’s most advanced products. This practical exposure proved invaluable in enhancing their skills and refining their techniques.
A key highlight of the program was the opportunity to use Reach Surgical’s latest instruments, including the iReach Magnum powered stapler with its advanced 55-degree articulation and powerful compression force, the iReach Omnia with its 30mm reload designed specifically for vessel sealing, and the innovative Sound Reach SR7 ultrasonic shears, which are capable of sealing vessels up to 7mm. These instruments demonstrated exceptional performance and versatility in both UVATS and RATS procedures, providing the participants with firsthand experience of their effectiveness.
Reach Surgical, a Genesis Medtech company, is deeply committed to supporting the ongoing professional development of surgeons through clinical education programs that elevate surgical proficiency. By providing cutting-edge tools and innovative training solutions, we aim to empower surgeons worldwide to achieve the highest standards in minimally invasive surgery.
We look forward to continuing this journey of collaboration and innovation and anticipate welcoming participants to our upcoming sessions!
