We inform you that participation is divided into two modules with separate registrations. 

Each module has a maximum capacity of 20 participants. 

Aimed at general surgeons and resident physicians in the specialty interested in the subject.

Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard for treating common conditions. A surgeon's training is not a one-time process; it requires multiple learning experiences and practical exercises.

One of the most valuable tools in this process is surgical simulation in anatomical preparationsThis adds significant value to surgical education. This training modality allows participants not only to refine their technical skills but also to interact directly with experienced mentors in the surgical field.

This enriched learning environment fosters an exchange of knowledge and skills, creating an atmosphere conducive to acquiring new, specialty-specific abilities. Surgeons in training can practice complex procedures safely and under controlled conditions, increasing their confidence and competence when performing interventions on real patients.

By participating in our laparoscopic surgery simulation workshop on anatomical specimens, surgeons will not only acquire essential technical skills but will also have the opportunity to learn from the experience and wisdom of established professionals in the field. This unique combination of hands-on practice and professional guidance is fundamental to developing the surgical excellence required in today's clinical environment.

• Competence in the use of laparoscopic tools: Students will work with advanced equipment and perform essential techniques for success in minimally invasive surgery. They will also be able to use surgical-specific materials provided by the industry.

• Practical skills in a controlled environment: Direct practice in prepared It allows a realistic and safe approach to perfecting surgical skills.

• In-depth knowledge of anatomy and surgical techniques: Through dissection and direct visualization of prepared specimens, students will strengthen their understanding of anatomy, enabling them to apply this knowledge during real-life interventions.

• Confidence and skill in laparoscopic surgery: Upon completion, participants will feel confident and competent to perform laparoscopic procedures, thereby improving their clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Abdominal wall surgery module

• Laparoscopic hernioplasty TEP
• Laparoscopic TAPP ventral eventroplasty
• Laparoscopic ventral E-TEP eventhroplasty

Each module will take place in the anatomy lab. We will have access to anatomical specimens for a maximum of 20 students per module.

Dear Postgraduate Participant, we would like to inform you of the latest updates regarding the tuition policies for our undergraduate and postgraduate programs:

Due to the complex economic situation in Argentina, the tuition fees for our programs and degrees are adjusted periodically. This is to preserve the academic quality that underpins our value proposition and to meet the University's commitments and obligations.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS:

How do I know if my degree or program has been accredited by CONEAU? Those programs or courses that have ministerial accreditation will display the resolution or file number and corresponding accreditation year at the top of the page. Programs that do not have accreditation will extend "certificate" to the participant and not the title.
