Chair of Urological Health
Expert Title in Advanced Theoretical Foundations in Medical-Surgical Andrology, Reconstructive and Urethro-Genital Prosthetic Surgery
Introduction
Currently, andrology and sexual medicine account for more than 25% of general urological pathology. If we add to this the significance of reconstructive urogenital urology, we are talking about almost 35% of urological care.
Several significant factors are at play in our country: on the one hand, there is a separation between areas of knowledge (medical andrology versus surgical genital andrology); on the other hand, urologists receive biased training due to a lack of basic psychosexual knowledge and the scarcity of multidisciplinary teams; and finally, urologists do not receive training in urethral reconstructive surgery within the knowledge area programme.
The purpose of this degree is to train students in the field of medical-surgical andrology and urethral-genital reconstructive and prosthetic surgery, under the guidance of professionals with extensive experience. It also aims to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical update for subsequent application in daily clinical practice.
Objetivos
- Comprehensive knowledge of patients with pathologies related to sexual dysfunction from a medical, psycho-functional and surgical perspective. Specific knowledge of medical andrology: urological, endocrinological and psycho-sexological aspects.
- Acquisition of knowledge of urethral pathology and surgical reconstruction techniques in all their possible forms.
- Detailed knowledge of urogenital prosthetic surgery in erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease and male incontinence.
- Dermatological and plastic aspects for the urologist that are essential for the development of urethro-genital reconstructive surgery programmes.
- Diagnostic-therapeutic guidance for infertile men.
- The diagnostic-therapeutic approach to the patient with an interdisciplinary vision. Providing the necessary tools to be able to propose consensus schemes for optimal patient care and obtaining the best potential results.
