LIVE & LAB for laparoscopic general surgeons advanced course
Full immersion in general and digestive surgery
Laparoscopy has proven its efficacy and benefits in many field of surgery. Today all sorts of basic and advanced surgical procedures can be performed safely and with excellent functional and oncological outcomes.
An increasing number of new technologies are being implemented in the operating room for the benefit of patients and surgeons.
Learning new techniques is of paramount importance to stay up to date, but it can require a lot of time and resources, which makes it unpractical to follow the old historical paradigm of surgical education.
The Live and Lab course aims to exploit the full potential of the IRCAD training model and platform: live surgical operations performed and commented by the world’s best surgeon, hours of hands-on training in the perfectly equipped state-of-the-art IRCAD labs, under the guidance of
expert tutors.
A very simple and straight to the point formula: learning new surgical skills to improve the quality of our daily practice.
