Michigan, Aug 10 (IANS) Eight medical practitioners from India, Europe and the US have been selected as ‘Vattikuti Explorers’ by robotic surgery leader Vattikuti Foundation, it was announced on Saturday.
The selection of these medics followed a global initiative that attracted scores of applicants from 10 countries — Belgium, Egypt, India, Italy, Nepal, Romania, Spain, Turkey, the UK and the US.
Those selected from India are Yashi Singh from MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai and Sanjana Mahesh from JIPMER, Karaikal, Puducherry.

The inaugural cohort of eight ‘Vattikuti Explorers’ programme will attend the Jr Orsi’s Summer School in Ghent, Belgium, from August 19-21.
“Through this programme, the Explorers will have a unique opportunity to connect with established robotic surgeons who are eager to mentor them on a one-to-one basis while also helping them expand their professional networks,” said Dr Mahendra Bhandari, CEO, US-based Vattikuti Foundation.
The three-day intensive open and robotic basic surgical training programme will be conducted by eight medical experts with exposure to a range of robotic systems, said the Foundation.
The selection was based on expression of interest in research, innovation, and use of modern technology and a strong desire to advance the world of medicine and surgery.
The Explorers will be given training to the basics of robotic surgery, surgery training on different robotic systems, as well as basic surgical skill tasks and high-quality lectures.
They will also experience a wet lab to gain hands-on practice with real tissues, simulation of real scenarios, mastery of systems, error management, skill assessment, and team coordination.
