COURSE PRESENTATION
Theorical and hands-on cadaver course in which participants can choose between online or on-site theoretical lectures and a hands-on component with cadaver surgery. The morning of day 1 will focus on common aspects to any surgery, namely practical and implementation strategies to develop an efficient and cost-effective Robotic Program, including Artificial Intelligence. All participants will attend lectures. In the afternoon, the participants can choose to attend different lectures depending on their interest or area of specialization, directed to Gynaecology or Urology.
Day 2 and 3 will include Video sessions and Dry Lab Simulation, alternate according to the area of specialization, and a full day Handson
Cadaver and Dry Lab Simulation Modules (limited to 12 participants)
Simulation modules will be performed with a DaVinci system.
