SARUS
Students’ Association of Robotic Urologic Surgery.
Since 2012, SARUS has brought students in Cluj close to the newest methods in urology and surgery: hands on robotic workshops on the da Vinci Xi, a mentor and a case of your own to publish, and time on the wards with former members who are doctors now.

What SARUS runs
Three ways in for students who want to see surgery from close up, from the robot’s console to the ward.
Robotic workshops
Hands on sessions on the da Vinci Xi, at the console and at the robot itself, in a time slot you pick when you register.
Doctor for a Case
A mentor in the specialty you choose, and a case study to write and publish, with theory courses and help along the way.
Academia SARUS
Time on the wards and on the on call shifts of different specialties, alongside former SARUS members who are doctors now.
On the da Vinci Xi
SARUS’s two robotic workshops, as SARUS describes them. Each runs in short time slots, chosen when you register.
Basic Robotic Skills
At a real robotic surgery console: instrument handling and camera control, and the fundamentals of robotic assisted procedures.
Docking
With the robotic arms and the instrument cart: the docking process step by step, and how the whole robotic system is connected and coordinated.
SARUS announces each round, and how to register, on Instagram:@sarus_ro
After your first case
Doctor for a Case ends in a case study of your own. For the next step, professors and student circles of UMF Cluj publish research projects here, and students apply to join them.
Projects in surgery and its specialties: urology, Surgery I to V, cardiovascular and thoracic, plastic, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology, paediatric surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, neurosurgery, surgical oncology, and maxillofacial surgery.
Sign up with your UMF account to see the open surgery projects and apply.
