Structured education in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy — from patient selection and pelvic anatomy to nerve-sparing, apical dissection and vesicourethral reconstruction.
Depending on the scheduled format, education may include lectures, surgical videos, case discussions, simulation, dry lab exercises and selected tissue-based training. Multiport and Single-Port content may be included subject to platform and faculty availability.

A robotic prostatectomy course is a structured educational program focused on the clinical and technical principles of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
The curriculum can follow the complete pathway from preoperative evaluation and operating room preparation to surgical anatomy, procedural stages, nerve-sparing, reconstruction, lymph node dissection and postoperative management.
Introductory courses may accept participants without previous robotic prostatectomy experience. Advanced practical courses may require prior simulation, dry lab, bedside assistance or console experience.
Patient selection, imaging, pathology, surgical approach, functional and oncological objectives.
OR setup, positioning, port placement, docking, anatomy and procedural sequence.
Nerve-sparing, apical control, reconstruction, lymphadenectomy, complications and postoperative care.
Case-based discussions can show how oncological, anatomical and functional factors change surgical planning.
Lectures, surgical video, illustrations and procedure-specific models can be used to review anatomy relevant to robotic prostatectomy.
Robotic system positioning, table setup, patient positioning, pressure-point protection, anesthesia access, team positions, instruments and emergency undocking.
Camera port, arm spacing, assistant port, triangulation, cart position, docking, collision prevention and fourth-arm use.
Access-site selection, SP placement, working-space creation, system positioning, instrument deployment, internal triangulation, camera orientation and troubleshooting.
The course can organize the operation as a sequence of technical modules rather than a single long lecture.
Bladder-prostate junction, anterior and posterior bladder neck, median lobe, ureteral orifice awareness and reconstruction when required.
Vas deferens, seminal vesicles, vascular control, Denonvilliers’ fascia, rectal protection and posterior plane development.
Pedicle identification, traction, clip or energy use, athermal techniques, hemostasis and relationship to the neurovascular bundle.
Patient selection, intrafascial/interfascial/extrafascial planes, antegrade/retrograde approaches, athermal dissection and balancing function with oncology.
DVC management, apical anatomy, urethral length preservation, rectal protection, margin avoidance and preparation for reconstruction.
Needle positioning, tissue approximation, running sutures, tension management and preparation for vesicourethral anastomosis.
One of the most suitable prostatectomy stages for simulation and dry lab training.
Indications, anatomy, standard and extended templates, obturator nerve protection, lymphatic control, specimen handling and complication prevention.
Specimen placement, hemostasis review, anastomosis assessment, drains, undocking, extraction, port-site closure and team communication.
Pain control, mobilization, catheter and drain management, thrombosis prevention, pathology review, continence recovery and erectile-function rehabilitation principles.
A scheduled course may focus on one platform or compare both, depending on platform and faculty availability.
Surgical anatomy, patient selection, step-by-step technique, faculty videos, case discussion and complication management.
Camera navigation, instrument control, needle handling, suturing, energy application and procedure-specific modules.
Needle positioning, posterior reconstruction, vesicourethral anastomosis, running sutures and robotic knot tying.
Selected tissue handling, dissection, suturing and reconstruction; or a combined course with theory, video and practical exercises.
Hands-on participation takes place in a non-clinical environment and does not mean performing prostatectomy on patients.
The exact duration and curriculum are stated on the individual scheduled course page.
Lectures, surgical videos and a focused vesicourethral anastomosis workshop.
Theoretical education combined with simulation or dry lab exercises.
Step-by-step procedural education, case discussions and broader practical training.
Lectures, simulation, repeated dry lab exercises, selected tissue-based activities and clinical observation where separately arranged.
System orientation, prostatectomy workflow, camera navigation, instrument control, pelvic anatomy, basic needle handling and introductory suturing.
Bladder neck, nerve-sparing principles, apical dissection, advanced needle handling, posterior reconstruction and vesicourethral anastomosis.
Complex anatomy, difficult bladder neck, previous prostate surgery, salvage scenarios, advanced nerve-sparing, reconstruction, SP prostatectomy and complication management.
A robotic prostatectomy course may be combined with a separately arranged observership.
International urologists, residents and fellows should review course language, participant eligibility, previous experience requirements, robotic platform, practical format, dates and included services.
A certificate of participation or attendance may be provided.
Review confirmed course dates, faculty, venue, participant level, platform, educational content and practical activities.
Confirmed course schedule and location.
Named faculty and intended experience level.
Simulation, models and laboratory activities clearly stated.
Hospitals, universities, urology departments and physician groups can request a customized robotic prostatectomy course.
The same faculty, platform, venue or curriculum cannot be guaranteed for a future course.
