Jodhpur: The Department of Urology at AIIMS Jodhpur, in collaboration with the Royal Urology Society (RUS), hosted the 7th edition of RUFCON 2025, the annual conference of the Robotic Urology Forum.
The national-level event convened urologists and healthcare professionals from across India to discuss recent developments in robotic and AI-enabled urologic surgery.
Themed “Advancing Precision in Urologic Surgery through Robotics and AI,” the conference featured over 25 live and semi-live surgeries, alongside expert panels and interactive sessions. Key procedures demonstrated included robotic-assisted surgeries for prostate and kidney conditions, as well as transplant techniques.
Sessions also explored the integration of artificial intelligence in surgical planning and the potential of telesurgery. It is indicated that a parallel workshop was also conducted for nurses and technicians focused on robotic surgery competencies and case-based learning.
The event emphasized live procedures, hands-on learning, and multidisciplinary collaboration, leveraging advanced platforms like the da Vinci system to strengthen India’s growing robotic urology ecosystem.
The conference was inaugurated by Member of Parliament (Pali), PP Chaudhary, in the presence of Dr. GD Puri, Executive Director, AIIMS Jodhpur.
