Laparoscopic Urological Surgery Intensive Course

Full immersion in laparoscopic urological surgery

Over these last few years, the minimally invasive approach has gradually superseded the conventional open approach in several urological surgery indications.


Thanks to the quality of operative vision provided by high-definition 2D or 3D cameras and to the precision of laparoscopic surgery maneuvers, this minimally invasive approach has allowed to improve the quality and accuracy of interventions and to ensure their safety, mainly for cancer treatment.
Surgical progress combined with robotic assistance and conventional laparoscopy have gradually taken off and led to enhanced precision surgery.

All urological procedures using these laparoscopic techniques make up IRCAD training programs in urological surgery.


Intensive courses will be split between theoretical sessions organized by world-renowned experts and hands-on sessions in the experimental lab with all these laparoscopic  technologies supplied.
