For years, robotic urology training has relied heavily on animal-based labs to provide exposure to live tissue handling and anatomy. But as robotic surgery continues to evolve, so too must the way we train the next generation of surgeons.

At a recent robotic urology lab hosted at OHSU, surgeons trained using the da Vinci robotic system alongside IMRA Surgical’s high-fidelity synthetic organ models as part of a broader shift away from traditional porcine training and toward more repeatable, anatomically relevant simulation.

Dr. Isharwal highlighted several limitations associated with traditional porcine training models, particularly for robotic prostatectomy. He noted that the smaller prostate size in porcine anatomy reduces procedural relevance when compared to human cases. Animal-based labs also offer limited repeatability, as once a procedural step is completed, that portion of the model can no longer be reused for training. Combined with the logistical, regulatory, financial, and ethical considerations associated with animal labs, the need for scalable, procedure-specific simulation continues to grow.

The feedback from faculty was incredibly encouraging. Beyond realism, the models provided educational advantages for key procedural steps including bladder neck dissection, nerve-sparing technique, and partial nephrectomy suturing and tension control.

Another important point raised was anatomical clarity. In live-animal labs, bleeding can often obscure critical structures. Synthetic simulation allows trainees to consistently visualize anatomy and focus on technique, repetition, and procedural understanding within a controlled environment.

This shift represents something much larger than replacing one model with another. It reflects a broader movement toward scalable, standardized, and procedure-specific surgical education designed for the future of robotic training.

Proud to support programs helping modernize robotic urology education through repeatable, high-fidelity simulation.

R&D in action at IMRA Surgical.

Testing one of our developmental models in the DadBod® Torso Trainer using the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS system as we continue advancing high-fidelity surgical simulation.

Every iteration brings us closer to more realistic, scalable, and data-driven surgical training solutions.

The future of surgical education will be built on high-fidelity, repeatable simulation environments that allow surgeons to refine techniques with greater precision, accessibility, and consistency than ever before.

Suturing. Knot tying. Precision under pressure.

The RoboSet HydroSkin and Stand gives surgeons a dedicated space to drill the fundamentals of robotic surgery — anytime, without booking an OR or a cadaver lab.

Real tissue feel. Real skill development. No compromise.

What does it feel like to operate on real tissue — without a patient in the room?

That's the question we set out to answer when we developed our IMRA hydrogel organ models.

After years of R&D, our models replicate the tactile feel of human tissue with a precision that surgeons consistently tell us is unlike anything else they've trained on. No animals. No cadavers. No cold storage.

Just realistic, repeatable, on-demand practice — wherever you need it.

Here's what makes the difference:

✅ True-to-life tissue resistance and suture behaviour
✅ Simulated blood perfusion for warm ischemic time measurement
✅ No refrigeration, no disposal — ship anywhere in the world
✅ Reusable across training sessions and device demos

The future of surgical education shouldn't require compromise. We built ours so it doesn't.

Robotic prostatectomy is now the standard of care for prostate cancer — but the learning curve is steep.

Research suggests surgeons need 150–250+ procedures to reach proficiency. And the steps that matter most — nerve-sparing dissection, urethral anastomosis — are the ones where experience has the greatest impact on patient quality of life.

The challenge for training programs isn't access to the robot. It's creating enough quality repetitions before surgeons are unsupervised.

That's what realistic simulation is for.

Swipe through to see why surgical training in robotic prostatectomy matters — and what good preparation actually looks like.

Validation like this marks a turning point in surgical training.

As fidelity, consistency, and accessibility continue to advance, simulation is no longer playing a supporting role - it’s defining the standard.

Not everything that looks real is real… and that’s exactly the point.

Poke it. Press it. Feel the give.
Our trademarked Skinthetic™ material responds like human tissue - soft, elastic, uncannily lifelike.

And when insufflated… it "breathes".
Rising and falling just like a real patient under pressure.

Because true surgical confidence starts with realism you can feel.
