Remote hands-on training with live proctorship


4 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.

3 Hands-On Sessions


You will perfom two complete laparoscopic radical prostatectomies on a hyper-realistic prostate model. You can practice all the key steps of the surgery, from ligating the venous complex, preserving the bladder neck, controlling pedicles and preserving neurovascular bundles to performing the urethrovesical anastomosis, which can be done twice per model.

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.

From 10 November 2025
