The First & the Best

Welcome message from the Director of Severance Robot & MIS Center

Welcome to Severance Robot and Minimally Invasive Surgery Center.

Since its opening in 2008, Severance Robot and MIS Center has provided various educational opportunities for more than 2,300 trainees from 42 countries, delivering over 6,200 training programs. We have worked together seamlessly with Yonsei University Health System-affiliated institutions to educate future academicians and potential leaders and disseminate new knowledge.

The center has expanded its training and research capabilities since relocating to Avison Biomedical Research Center in 2013. Now we are able to provide an optimal training environment equipped with da Vinci Xi from Intuitive Surgical, Revo‑i from Meere Company, and laparoscopic surgical systems for training purposes. We support tailor-made education based on each surgeon’s level of experience through various training programs such as Case Observation, Surgical Workshop, Simulator Training and so on.

In addition to systematic programs, we have carried out comprehensive work by participating in clinical trials and collaborating with academia and industry to support the development of robotic surgical equipment, based on our extensive training infrastructure.

By strengthening our position as a leading institution in robotic surgery training, we have also collaborated with global companies such as Intuitive Surgical, Johnson & Johnson Medical, and Meere Company through MOUs. Our outstanding achievements continue to set a new benchmark for robotic surgery worldwide.

Please join us and experience advanced robotic and minimally invasive surgery at the Severance Robot and MIS Center.
