Laparoscopic Urological Surgery Intensive Course

Full immersion in urological surgery

Over these last few years, the minimally invasive approach has gradually superseded the conventional open approach in several urological surgery indications.

Thanks to the quality of operative vision provided
by high-definition 2D or 3D cameras and to the
precision of laparoscopic surgery maneuvers, this
minimally invasive approach has allowed to improve
the quality and accuracy of interventions and to
ensure their safety, mainly for cancer treatment.
Surgical progress combined with robotic assistance
and conventional laparoscopy have gradually taken
off and led to enhanced precision surgery.

All urological procedures using these laparoscopic or robot-assisted techniques make up IRCAD training programs in urological surgery.

Intensive courses will be split between theoretical
sessions organized by world-renowned experts
and hands-on sessions in the experimental lab with
all these laparoscopic and robotic technologies
supplied.
