MICHIGAN CITY – The Michigan City Wild Wild Wolves 3936 student robotics team visited St. Anthony Health-Michigan City for a hands-on lesion in operation of the da Vinci Si Surgical System robot.
Seven team members received a lesson in how to operate the da Vinci robot from Kurt Klepsch, a representative of the Intuitive Surgical Inc. of California, which manufactures the robot. Dr. Lisa Hendricks, who has performed more than 200 da Vinci procedures, told the students of the training needed to operate the system.
Students attending included home-schoolers Justin Szaday and Jenna Szaday; Megan Ludwig, Shaylah Barron, Matthew Pawlicke, Josh Sookradge and David Higginbotham of Michigan City High School.
