months, and I must say that Versius has been very easily adopted by all the people working in the OR, scrub nurses, the nurses, and also my co-worker. We are not obligated to work within a specific robotic room, since we can use Versius in any operating room without any problem.” At the heart of the robot is a series of
microcontrollers and computers which control and monitor the system. Using agile development practices, regular software releases can be deployed to evolve the behaviour of the system. Through close collaboration with surgeons,
remote monitoring of the system and expansion of technology, new features can be developed, and performance improvements can be implemented. As digital is deeply embedded in the fabric of how this system operates, surgeons and hospitals can reap the benefits of these changes quickly and regularly. The software driven, modular arms uniquely
determine the position of the pivot point of each instrument; sophisticated robotics then enable surgical teams to move the arms independently during surgery, without impacting instrument movement. This feature always guarantees surgical teams access to the patient – without compromising on surgeon control, movement and efficiencies. Not only is digital at the forefront of the
system, but with multiple digital apps, the Versius ecosystem is able to provide surgeons and hospitals with a wealth of data at their fingertips. By combining three unique data sets, Versius Robotic data, case videos and clinical outcome information, both the Versius Connect app and the Versius Team app can showcase real-time, data driven insights. Versius Connect offers surgeons detailed insights into their procedures through synchronised video playback, case specific data including clinical outcomes and performance metrics such as instrument usage and procedural timelines. This enables surgeons to reflect on and refine their techniques, improve decision-making, and track their progress over time. It turns each procedure into a learning opportunity, supporting continuous professional development in and beyond the operating room. Versius Team complements this by connecting the wider surgical team, providing a shared digital space where setup preferences, case information and performance data can be accessed and reviewed collaboratively. This allows stronger communication and consistency among team members, whether they are in the same theatre or working across different sites. Versius Team also supports hospital managers by offering live dashboards that track usage, case volume, and system efficiency — helping
them monitor and optimise the success of their robotic surgery programme. What makes these tools beneficial is the level
of insights made available by the combination of Versius Robotic data, case videos and clinical outcome information that drive operational efficiencies, as well as clinical and operational performance monitoring, to ensure hospitals are using Versius at its fullest potential. Dr. Gilberto Almeida, a Consultant Urologist
from Unimed Litoral in Brazil and the Chair of Robotic Section - Brazilian Society of Urology, shares how he utilises these digital apps: “I love Versius Connect because for us, for surgeons, this feature is very important. It is important to know how your learning has improved, what your mistakes are, and why certain surgeons are going faster. “I have all my statistics in Versius Connect and
I do a lot of lectures about Versius, so it’s more efficient to have this database. It’s very easy and very important for us.” An important part of integrating any
robot within a hospital is thorough training of both surgeon and surgical teams. With a comprehensive metrics-based Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng) accredited team training programme, CMR Surgical covers all technical aspects of the system, preparing the team to confidently perform their first robotic surgical cases. As each new team member is onboarded,
they are guided through the multi-step training journey, which uses a combination of eLearning, simulation and immersive virtual reality, before coming together as a team for modular practical training and summative assessment. Following
successful completion of the practical training, and prior to first cases, an on-site Dry Run ensures the wider OR team are fully prepared. By providing clinical case support for initial cases, whether in-person or remotely, surgeons and surgical teams are guided through the start of their learning curve to steer hospitals efficiently towards proficiency. With the capability for multiple teams to be trained for each robotic system installed, utilisation can remain high across all specialties, with standalone courses also available to new members of a previously trained team. Through focusing on metrics-based training, and learning curve case support, the benefits of this surgical robot can be gained throughout multiple departments within a hospital. Through a digitally driven, adaptable and versatile design, the full Versius ecosystem enables surgeons and surgical teams to deliver the benefits of advanced robotic surgery to patients across multiple specialties. With an inclusive training programme, case support, and innovative technology, CMR Surgical facilitates hospitals to offer optimal care to patients worldwide.
