Dr Locke Completes Advanced Robotic Training
Advanced Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS)
Dr Phil Lockie recently completed some advanced training in the use of Robots in Surgery.
Here is his brief report:
I recently had the pleasure of attending a Robotic Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Lab in Sydney. There were a number of surgeons from New South Wales and Queensland present together with a visitor from Malaysia.
The day's hands on practical course allowed us the opportunity to discuss a variety of aspects regarding complex abdominal wall reconstructions.
A good example was the different surgical approaches to different hernias and which approach might be optimal for each type and size of hernia together with a discussion on the variety of mesh's available.
This was then followed by a practical session carrying out surgical dissection along with observing and critiquing fellow surgeons.
Overall, a very productive day.

Note From Dr Lockie
Medications will be assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively. With weight-loss and particularly after surgery, comorbidities can change for the better, particularly e.g., hypertension or diabetes. It is essential for your health that medications are discussed with you, your GP and/or any other specialists such as Cardiologist or Endocrinologist etc.
In addition, use of multivitamins, and alternative supplements should be discussed with the practice to promote your better health.
