Does this programme automatically provide SSI Mantra credentialling?

The programme is led by Dr. Vikrant Sharma, who is listed by Solace as a Certified SSI Mantra Robotic Surgery Proctor. Course completion does not by itself guarantee manufacturer credentialling or hospital privileges; any formal credentialling pathway should be confirmed separately for the participant, procedure and institution.

What robotic systems are used during the orientation?

Training is designed around SSI Mantra system orientation, simulation and proctor-led workflow exposure. Exact platform access and clinical exposure are confirmed for the selected batch.

Do I need prior laparoscopic experience for robotic training?

Prior laparoscopy is helpful but not mandatory for the orientation. Robotic ergonomics are actually easier for many surgeons than conventional laparoscopy.
