13th CRSA Worldwide Congress in Rome, Italy

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Clinical Robotic Surgery Association (CRSA) and the Scientific Committee, I am delighted and honored to invite you to attend the forthcoming Worldwide Meeting in
Rome ( Italy ), December 9-10th, 2022.

Since its establishment in 2009, the CRSA has made tremendous strides functioning as a leading voice for the global community of minimally invasive surgeons using the robotic system in General Surgery and we continue to ensure adherence to quality programs in clinical practice with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

Taking robotic surgery, and hence “general surgery”, to the next frontier continues to be a demanding task. Our current times are characterized by social and economic constraints being more prominent than ever, as a consequence of the COVID Pandemic.
At this difficult stage, many responsibilities fall into the hands of the CRSA community, to continue to advance robotic surgery by responding to the needs and demands of this current time.

We are particularly excited to hold this year’s annual CRSA Congress in Rome, the “eternal city“. After 2 years of international “lockdown”, this will be our first in-person event and the first in Europe. The title of the Congress is “Hot Topics and Controversies in Robotic Surgery “
and it expresses the desire to focus on areas of particular interest not only technical and scientific but also related to organization, safety and innovation.

A large space is dedicated to the transmission of live and virtual live surgical interventions, carried out by experienced surgeons, and commented in the classrooms by experts in the field. The program includes debates, technical forums, state of the art lectures and several sessions dedicated to the presentation of Abstracts and Videos
The idea is to benefit young surgeons: one of the primary objectives of the congress is precisely to stimulate young people to bring their experience, to participate in an open discussion with experts and we welcome to get in tune with the CRSA.

We welcome our international participants at the 2022 Annual Congress

We are working hard to ensure that your presence at this congress will be a highly
valuable experience.

We look forward to your participation in the beautiful City of Rome.
Come and join us, as we actively commit to make this meeting an unforgettable event.

Yours Sincerely,
Andrea Coratti
CRSA President
