Chair of Urological Health
Expert in Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery in Urology: Prostate, Kidney and Bladder Surgery
Introduction
The field of minimally invasive surgery in urology is evolving rapidly alongside technology. Currently, laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery are the standard treatment for most operations: radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, adrenalectomy, radical cystectomy, pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, etc. Traditional open surgery has become a minority option.
Laparoscopic operations, whether robot-assisted or not, are difficult and require a learning curve. The development of surgical robots improves patient care but creates new challenges. Therefore, training programmes are necessary to enable personal accreditation and the safe implementation of these new surgical fields.
Mission
Acquire specialised knowledge:
Provide students with a solid foundation in robotic and laparoscopic techniques in the field of urology.
Update scientific information:
Become familiar with the latest evidence, protocols and technological advances in this field.
Develop analytical skills:
Learn to interpret scientific publications and apply theoretical concepts to clinical cases.
Promote conceptual understanding:
Gain a comprehensive overview of different pathologies and treatment options without directly participating in clinical or surgical procedures.
Objectives
- Provide detailed knowledge of basic and advanced techniques in robotic and laparoscopic surgery for the genitourinary system.
- Learn about the robotic platforms currently available.
- To learn about robotic and laparoscopic instruments.
- To learn about the fundamental elements of robotic renal and pelvic surgery.
- To learn step by step how to perform radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, radical and partial nephrectomy, and robotic and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy, including the different scenarios that the pathology presents.
- Learn to recognise the main difficulties that arise during operations and have the theoretical technical resources to overcome them appropriately
- Be able to prevent and manage the most common complications of robotic prostate, bladder and kidney surgery
