Upper GI Robotic Surgery Advanced Course
Full immersion in Upper GI Robotic Surgery
Foregut surgery was, along with cholecystectomy, one of the first specialties of digestive surgery to demonstrate the obvious benefits of laparoscopic surgery in the early 1990s and, for 30 years, the vast majority of surgical procedures have been
performed laparoscopically.
Fundoplication for GERD was one of the validation procedures for robotic surgery 20 years ago.
As a result, the upper GI robotic surgery course is a unique opportunity to acquire or improve skills in robotic surgery.
Our Faculty includes experts whose experience in minimally invasive surgery has made it possible to extract the intricacies of robotic technology to facilitate and improve the quality and reproducibility of foregut surgery.
