Sentinel lymph node in gynecologic cancer

Full immersion in gynecologic oncology surgery

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is becoming increasingly popular as a way to accurately detect lymph node involvement without inducing the longterm lymphatic complications of full lymph node dissection.

The major objectives of the course, combining theoretical and video sessions, and hands-on training on live tissue, are to shorten the learning curve of the method, to improve its accuracy, and to make its implementation logical and safe in the era of individualized cancer treatment.

Come and join us, and be one of the 8,800 surgeons who have seized the opportunity to improve their knowledge and know-how.

All Faculty members will be happy to welcome you and
help you to update your skills and enhance your minimally invasive surgical capabilities.
