8 Online Lectures

Before the hands-on sessions, participants access short pre-recorded classes by expert faculty. These lessons, available on our platform, provide the essential knowledge to start training with confidence.

6 Hands-On Sessions

Partial Nehprectomy

You will perfom 12 partial nephrectomies on a high-fidelity kidney model. The curriculum starts with small and polar tumors, and progresses by raising complexity with big, hilar, and completely endophytic tumors.



Radical Prostatectomy

Perform two complete laparoscopic radical prostatectomies on an anatomically accurate, high-fidelity prostate model, practicing all key surgical steps—from venous complex ligation and bladder neck preservation to pedicle control, neurovascular bundle preservation, and urethrovesical anastomosis 

Live Proctorship

Our hands-on sessions are delivered live via Zoom, where two expert surgeons guide you step by step through the partial nephrectomy procedure. You'll receive real-time feedback, tips, and tricks to help you perform each stage safely and successfully.
