Course Overview

1. Comprehensive Management of High-Risk Abdominal Tumors
A full-spectrum approach to staging, surgical indications, and advanced techniques for pancreatic, splenic, hepatic, adrenal, renal, bladder, urethral, and prostatic tumors. Develop a refined surgical strategy for complex abdominal oncology cases.

2. Specialized Training in Vascular-Related High-Risk Procedures
Focused instruction on technically demanding surgeries such as adrenalectomy with cavotomy and major hepatic lobectomies, where mastery of anatomy, vascular control, and hemostasis is critical.

3. Palliative Care and Functional Reconstruction
Covers essential supportive procedures including urinary tract stenting for palliative management, along with hands-on training in neourethrocystostomy and other reconstructive techniques that restore function following oncologic surgery.

4. High-Fidelity, Immersive Abdominal Wet Lab Training
Step-by-step practical exercises including partial pancreatectomy, liver biopsy and lobectomy, adrenalectomy, nephrectomy, partial and total cystectomy, prostatectomy, and more—offering a complete, realistic training pathway for abdominal oncologic surgery.
