Surgical Innovation Training Laboratory (SITL) Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

The new 17,000 square feet, ($ 8.8 Million) facility has been the result of years of planning and fundraising led jointly by the Department of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, and the Robotic Surgery Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The SITL facility will be available for hands-on training for all the Surgical Disciplines, with particular emphasis to the field of Microsurgery and Robotic Surgery. A full range of modern surgical training tools, including several robotic units, will be available for use to surgeons of all levels of expertise. Direct feeds from our operating rooms will be transmitted to a large classroom area with three modular units that can be combined for a total maximal capacity of up to 200 learners.
