Led by Dr. Ellen Van Eetvelde, this intensive one-day course is designed for surgeons looking to refine their robotic skills in left-sided colonic resections and total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery. With a strong focus on hands-on training, participants will work in small groups (2 per da Vinci Xi system) to optimize their technique through expert guidance and cadaver lab sessions.
What you will learn
The aim is to comprehensively cover robot techniques in left sided colonic resections
