Observing is always the first step of the learning process.
At UIC experienced and internationally renowned physicians are performing robotic surgery every day.
Surgeons that are interested in starting a robotic surgery program at their institution or even surgeons that are already using the daVinci have the opportunity to come at UIC and observe the ultimate robotic techniques and approaches applied to a broad range of procedures.
Our guests could have a flexible and custom made schedule:  they will be totally free to decide how long they want to prolong their visit, how many surgeries they want to observe, which kind of specialties they want to explore and to deepen.

According to our OR schedule we would try to accommodate the needs of the observers showing them the advanced robotic procedures UIC and Dr. Giulianotti have pioneered:

- Adrenalectomy
- Colectomy
- Esophagectomy
- Gastrectomy
- Hepatectomy
- Hernia repair
- Lobectomy
- DistaPancreatectomy
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy
- Small intestine/bowel resection
- Splenectomy
- Thyroidectomy/Parathyroidectomy
