• You will have an opportunity to perform computer-assisted surgery on cadavers with assistance from the experts.
• You will learn tips and hints to help you deal with any problems that may arise during surgery.
• Clinical results will be presented to show how easy it is to use the systems, as well as providing evidence of their effectiveness.

Academics and specialists in computer-assisted surgery will lead the training and you will have the opportunity to take part in navigation system workshops courtesy of our course sponsors.
