On April 3 and 5, 2024, ISLE ACADEMY hosted an extraordinary two-day workshop under the auspices of the Greek Society of Coloproctology, bringing together brilliant minds from esteemed institutions to delve into the field of robotic surgery.

We are deeply grateful to the inspirators of this initiative, Dr. George Theodoropoulos and Dr. Ioannis Virlos, for their excellent scientific direction and collaboration. Special thanks also go to Dr. Pericles Chrysoheris, MD, FACS, Dr. Eleni Karatrasoglou, Dr. Constantine Mavrantonis, and Dr. Vivian Alexakou from the Node Institute faculty for generously sharing their expertise and wealth of knowledge on current and future advances in robotic surgery.

We extend heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Dimitrios Linardoutsos and Dr. Spyridon Smparounis for their invaluable contributions, expertise, and steadfast support throughout both theoretical and hands-on sessions. A special thank you goes to Dr. Vasilis Kalatzis, who traveled from the UK to openly and constructively share his knowledge and experience with our audience.

Congratulations to all our participants for their unwavering dedication and commitment to advancing the field of robotic surgery.
