In 2022 the EHNS board established the European robotic surgery network, calling it the “EU-Robot Network”.
In fact, the worldwide increase of robotic procedures, the introduction of interesting related technologies and the advantages offered by trans-oral robotic surgery have determined the need for a professionally led, networked and coordinated approach, useful to exercising leadership in this increasingly developed technology.
The aim of EU-Robot is to establish an European network for the effective implementation and advancement of H&N robotic surgery and related technologies in Europe, through simple and effective actions: creating a register of procedures, disseminating knowledge, creating certification, activating a group of proctors, promoting and facilitating international scientific collaborations. As a part of the EHNS initiatives, EU-Robot will contribute to the organization of the biennial international workshop focused on advances in H&N robotic surgery and related technologies. This will serve a forum to discuss existing activity and chart future direction for the EU-Robot project, as well as organizing an Assembly of National delegates.
This is also the reason why the scientific organization of the 5th meeting will be the result of the contributions and efforts by group of colleagues chosen by EHNS Board as the first Steering Committee of the Network rather than the work of a single person. The EU-Robot-venue has generously been offered by the Ferrero Foundation in Alba free of charge and is the ideal setting to embark on a promising journey exploring together in this fascinating surgical and oncological discipline.

We look forward to seeing you in Alba.

EU-Robot Network

On behalf of EHNS, we would like to establish a European network for the effective implementation and advancement of head and neck robotic surgery and related technologies in Europe.
The name of the project is EU-ROBOTNetwork.

The objectives of the EU-ROBOT network within the countries represented by the EHNS are:

  1. Create a registry for the prospective audit of robotic surgery and related technologies used for head and neck cancer treatment
  2. Disseminate theknowledge and skills needed for safe and appropriate use of head and neck robotic surgery and related technologies via accredited training centers
  3. Create and credential effective training pathways for robotic surgery and related technologies by providingproctoring support.
  4. Promote, facilitate and encourage international collaboration by establishing a web based systematic method to collect uniform data.

We would like to proceed to have a membership infrastructure to identify the surgeons delivering robotic surgery and related technological interventions within the countries represented by the EHNS and indicated by the Presidents of the National Societies
belonging to the EHNS.

In this regard, we kindly request from you to propose an expert from your society who is dealing with robotic surgery and related technologies.
This appointed delegate will participate representing your country and actively involved in this network.

The deadline for receiving candidates is 30 September 2022.

We appreciate your contribution in EU-ROBOT.

Best regards,

Wojciech Golusinski Sefik Hosal Giovanni Succo
EHNS President EHNS General Secretary EHNS Treasurer
Head of EU-ROBOT Network
