Chairs: Xiaoming Guan, Lan Zhu
Team Leader: Chongdong Liu
Faculty: Zhiqing Liang MD, Peter C. Lim, MD, Guizhu Wu, MD, Xiang Xue, MD, PhD, Ying Zheng, MD

This dynamic AAGL-COGA panel brings together global leaders in minimally invasive gynecology to explore the forefront of robotic surgery innovation. The session will showcase a spectrum of advanced techniques—including single-port systems, transvaginal NOTES, and complex reconstructive procedures—while addressing challenges in deep endometriosis, pelvic floor repair, and complication management.

Through keynote presentations, expert-led discussions, and emerging technology highlights (AI, augmented reality, remote surgery), participants will gain practical insights and strategic frameworks to enhance surgical outcomes. Designed to foster knowledge exchange and inspire innovation, this session will equip attendees with the tools to elevate their robotic practice and shape the future of gynecologic surgery.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) Demonstrate understanding of cutting-edge robotic systems (e.g., da Vinci Xi/SP, Hugo RAS, Versius) and their clinical applications; 2) Employ surgical techniques and strategies for complex procedures such as radical hysterectomy, endometriosis resection, pelvic floor reconstruction and transvaginal NOTES; 3) Implement current clinical evidence, safety profiles, and outcomes associated with robotic gynecologic surgery; and 4) Determine future directions, including AI, augmented reality, and single-port systems, with attention to ethical considerations and training requirements.
