Sentinel lymph node mapping in gynecological oncology

» Expert lectures – Live surgery-Video session – Training on pelvitrainer

 

Aim of Course

The course aims to improve the knowledge and skills of surgeons on procedures in gynaecologic cancer by robotic approach (Da Vinci  Xi).

Advanced programme will include following procedures:

  • Specific benefits of robotic approach in gynaecologic oncology
  • Sentinel lymph node dissection with ICG
  • Pelvic and para aortic lymph node dissection
  • Robotic Radical hysterectomy
  • Extended Parametrectomy in cervical cancer

The robotic course is a 2 days workshop in Robotic Surgery, offering candidates a unique opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills, including:

  • Advanced Theoretical Lectures, live surgery and Tutorial Videos.
  • Training on Da Vinci Xi. Simulation, virtual surgery.
