These new scenarios encourage us to offer new specialization programs that meet the real needs of the most experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the advances that are taking place in daily nephrourological surgical practice"

One of the fields with the greatest expansion in nephrourological surgery in recent times has been that of laparoscopy in all its modalities, intra or retroperitoneal, as well as with the aid of three-dimensional vision and the use of mini-laparoscopy material.

This postgraduate diploma reviews, in an exhaustive and updated manner, all the advances in retroperitoneal surgery, with the different access routes. The latest trends in renal surgical pathology are listed and explained with special emphasis on nephron preservation techniques with supraselective clamping and non-clamping techniques. The differences between open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques are explored and the technique of laparoscopic nephrectomy for living donation is reviewed. Focal treatment techniques for small renal masses also have their place. Moreover, the last modules of this expert are dedicated to renal transplantation, which has experienced striking advances in the surgical aspect with laparoscopy and robotics, and to renal vascular surgery.

This postgraduate diploma in Advanced Renal Surgery is oriented to facilitate the updating of nephrourological surgical procedures and techniques to the specialist, in a practical way through the latest educational technology.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Keeping up to date is key to providing better care for the renal patient"

This postgraduate diploma in Advanced Renal Surgery contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Clinical cases presented by experts
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Diagnostic and therapeutic novelties on the care of the surgical nephrourological patient
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in renal, nephrourological and urinary tract surgery

This postgraduate diploma is the best investment you can make in the selection of a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Advanced Renal Surgery, you will obtain a qualification endorsed by TECH Technological University"

Its teaching staff includes leading surgeons, who bring to this specialization the experience of their work, in addition to other specialists belonging to prestigious scientific societies.

Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, this postgraduate diploma will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. This will be done with the help of an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts in nephrourological surgery, with extensive teaching experience.

Include the latest developments in Advanced Renal Surgery in your surgical practice and improve the prognosis of your patients"

It includes high definition images and real clinical cases to bring surgical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

This program is oriented towards a review of the main aspects of the current management of the nephrourological surgical patient, based on scientific evidence and the experience of renowned professionals in the field of critical care.

This refresher program will generate a sense of security in the performance of surgical practice, which will help you grow personally and professionally"
