Learning outcomes
The objectives of the course are the follows:
1) improve the theoretical and practical knowledge of a tumour (Prostatic cancer) with a very high social and epidemiological impact (most frequent tumour in men over 50 years old in West countries), focusing on most innovative aspects with respect of diagnosis and treatments (robotic radical prostatectomy)
2) improve the theoretical and practical knowledge of a tumour (renal cancer) with high social impact (due to the prevalence and the trend to recurrence) focusing on most innovative aspects with respect of diagnosis, treatments and prevention;
3) improve the theoretical and practical knowledge of genito-urinary malformation of upper urinary tract and mini-invasive surgical techniques of surgical correction.
Course contents
The program of the course is based on the discussion of the management of small renal masses , including epidemiology, diagnosis, active surveillance and robotic surgical resetion with particular focus on different techniques of conservative surgery (enucleation/tumorectomy, enucleoresection, eminephrectomy, different techniques aimed to suture the renal parenchima and calices), renal ischemia techniques (clampless, totally clampless, early ischemia) and prevention and management of surgical complication.
Many video of robotic surgery with the most modern surgical techniques (namely, the use of fluorescence, selective clamp of renal artery,preoperative reconstruction and 3D print of anatomic models, augmented reality) would be showed.
Teaching methods
Frontal lessons will take place at Aula Corrado, Pad 1 Policlinico Sant'Orsola- Malpighi, with powerpoint and didactical video-materials of robotic prostatectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy interventions.
Students will have the oportunity to assist to robotic surgery directly in operating room at Nuove Patologie Pad 5 second floor Piastra B (policlinico Sant'Orsola-Malpighi).
