Testimonials
The ESGO/SERGS Robotic course was well organised with an excellent and friendly faculty. The facilities of the ORSI Academy are outstanding and the catering, transport and accomodation arrangements were superb. However, one of the most valuable parts of the course was meeting fellow delegates from around the world and sharing experiences and challenges.
