Uro-Oncology | Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
Global Hands-On Training Program
5 weeks surgical simulation program
Hands-on sessions with 3D realistic models + live tutorization
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This surgical simulation program combines hands-on training with online theoretical classes. Trainees will practice laparoscopic NVB Sparing Radical Prostatectomy on high-fidelity simulation models. Training will be tutorized in real-time by experienced professors.
​
At the end of the program, each trainee will achieve a strong theoretical basis for RP surgery and well-developed laparoscopic skills.
