Get up to date in some of the most challenging areas of Pediatric Surgery, with a comprehensive and complete syllabus covering the most relevant pathologies at the moment" 

In few areas of Pediatric Surgery is there such a wide spectrum of patients as in Pediatric Oncology, since it covers up to 18 years of age. The age disparity and the anatomical variety pose an absolute challenge for the specialists in this area, since they must master tumors of the neck, chest wall, retroperitoneum, pelvis and other areas of the body. Surgically, there is also the need to master vascular surgery, in order to solve possible operative risks.  

It is precisely the advance in minimally invasive surgery techniques that has led to a beneficial field of action in the pediatric area of oncology, boosting other more recent fields such as Neonatal Surgery as well. The development of fetoscopy or EXIT surgery already forces the physicians to have a more updated and extensive knowledge, which has motivated the creation of this University postgraduate diploma.

TECH Technological University has brought together a large team of experts in Pediatric Surgery and its specialties to develop a comprehensive academic degree in the field of Pediatric Neonatal and Oncologic Surgery. The specialist will have access to the most recent and important developments in both disciplines, without forgetting robotics and surgical patient management.
