Dr Ihsan Inan participated as international faculty at the Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery Course held at Ospedale della Misericordia in Grosseto, Italy, a recognised European centre for advanced robotic surgery and surgical education.
The course brought together international specialists in robotic hernia surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction for an intensive educational programme combining scientific lectures, live or relive surgical sessions, case discussions and hands-on training.
The meeting was organised under the direction of Dr Andrea Coratti and Dr Paolo Pietro Bianchi and involved surgeons from several high-volume European robotic surgery centres.

Lecture - Efficiency and Sustainability in Robotic Surgery
During the scientific programme, Dr Inan delivered a lecture entitled:
“Operating Room Efficiency and Sustainability of Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery.”
Optimising Robotic Surgical Workflows
The presentation addressed key elements in the integration of robotic hernia surgery into modern surgical practice, focusing on optimisation of operative workflow and efficiency within the operating theatre.
Sustainability of Robotic Surgical Programs
The lecture also explored organisational aspects required to maintain sustainable robotic programmes, including structured implementation of robotic procedures and rational use of surgical infrastructure.
These considerations are increasingly important as hospitals integrate advanced minimally invasive technologies into routine surgical practice.
Advanced Training in Robotic Hernia Surgery
Contemporary Robotic Techniques
Sessions covered a wide range of techniques including:
robotic ventral and incisional hernia repair
transversus abdominis release (TAR)
preperitoneal and extraperitoneal robotic approaches
robotic management of parastomal and complex hernias
Live and relive surgery sessions allowed participants to analyse operative strategies and discuss decision-making with expert faculty in robotic abdominal wall surgery.
International Surgical Education
Courses such as the Grosseto Robotic School reflect the growing importance of structured international training programmes in robotic hernia surgery.
These initiatives provide an environment where experienced surgeons and younger specialists can exchange expertise, refine techniques and discuss future developments in minimally invasive abdominal wall reconstruction.
Such educational programmes also reflect the experience developed in specialised centres performing robotic hernia surgery in Geneva, where advanced minimally invasive techniques are applied to abdominal wall reconstruction.
