Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery – PigLab CREBA
The main goal of this course is to provide an in-depth look at the use of the Da Vinci robot in abdominal wall surgery. To this end, an intensive theoretical and practical course has been designed, including:
- Theoretical sessions.
- Guided surgical videos.
- Da Vinci simulation (console modules).
- Dry lab with synthetic silicone material using Da Vinci.
- Wet lab with in vivo pig model.
There will be a theoretical update on the different techniques in minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery, followed by basic and advanced activities with virtual simulation, simulation on synthetic material, and simulation on a pig model (robotic extraperitoneal navigation in the pig model).
Rate: 2,000 €
Course objectives
