85561 - LA CHIRURGIA ROBOTICA MALFORMATIVA

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 pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction represents a relevant pathology in urology and it affects manly childs or young adults. This disease is related to the risk of impairment of renal function and in these cases it should be surgically correct.

The pyeloplasty (open or with mini-invasive technique, both laparoscopic and robotic) is the gold standard of surgical treatment.

The aim of this course is to discuss the eziology, the clinical implication and the minimally invasive robotic surgery in order to correct this malformation.

Teaching methods

Frontal lessons will take place at Aula Corrado, Pad 1 Policlinico Sant'Orsola- Malpighi, with powerpoint and didactical video-materials of robotic 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).
