The Future of Surgery: Robotics, AI, Humanoids and Remote Surgery -- Dr Vipul Patel Discover how multi-specialty robotic surgery can transform patient care and clinical education on a global scale at this exciting in-person seminar!

We are delighted to welcome Vipul Patel (MD, FACS), an American board-certified urologist to present this exciting seminar on robotic surgery.

Dr Patel completed his medical school education at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX., before completing his residency and fellowship training at the University of Miami in Florida. Subsequently, Dr. Patel served as director of Robotic Surgery at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

Dr Patel currently practices at Advent Health Florida as Director of the Global Robotics Institute and The Chief Innovation officer at Lake Nona Medical Center. He also holds the position of clinical professor of Urology at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine and Founding Member and Executive Director of the Society of Robotic Surgery. In addition, Dr Patel is Chair of Humanitarian Healthcare Equity at the University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study.

Dr Patel leads the world's most experienced multi-specialty robotic surgery team and travels globally to educate physicians and care for patients. Dr. Patel is world-renowned for his contribution to the field of robotic surgery and prostate cancer and has developed techniques that have translated to improve patient care and outcomes. His contributions have been recognized worldwide through publications, professorships and training courses and he has personally performed over 20,000 robotic prostatectomies.

Dr Patel founded the International Prostate Cancer Foundation (IPCF) and the Humanitarian Healthcare Equity Foundation (GHHEF). He established The Journal of Robotic Surgery and edited the first robotic urology textbook. With over 300 peer reviewed publications, he was recently named to the Stanford University/Elsevier Publishing top 2% of scientists in the world.

His most recent contributions have been to the concept of remote robotic surgery, telesurgery. In June of 2025 he performed the landmark telesurgery robotic radical prostatectomy from Orlando, Florida to Luanda, Angola at a distance of 11,000km in an FDA IDE approved clinical trial setting. He continues to innovate and lead globally recently establishing a collaboration with the World Health Organization for Global Healthcare Equity.
