Course Overview
Aims and Objectives
The primary aims of this course is to provide urologists and urogynecologists with a comprehensive understanding of pelvic functional surgery through advanced theoretical instruction, detailed anatomical dissection, and hands-on surgical training, to provide step-by-step anatomical instruction of key surgical procedures in functional urology. The program is designed to establish a strong scientific foundation and enhance participants’ technical skills in male and female pelvic surgeries.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Target Audience
Urology, Urogynecology and Female & Functional Urology
Description
The total number of participants is limited to 30. Each participant will spend 45 minutes at each station to maximize hands-on experience and learning outcomes. Participants will have the opportunity to actively perform surgical procedures under the guidance of mentors. Groups will rotate between stations every 45 minutes.
There will be no scheduled breaks during the practical training; however, participants may take individual breaks as needed.
Course Contents
Lectures & 3D physical simulators: Hands-on training with 3D printed patient specific CT-reconstructed models and cadaveric models
Coffee Break Policy: No scheduled coffee breaks are planned during the sessions; participants may enjoy available refreshments without interrupting the flow of the presentations.
