I have extensive hands-on experience assisting with a variety of surgical procedures, including advanced robotic-assisted surgeries such as prostatectomies and bariatric procedures. I managed robotic instrumentation, ensured proper system setup, and provided troubleshooting support during complex operations. My responsibilities also included patient positioning, draping, and preoperative preparation to ensure optimal surgical conditions for successful outcomes.
