Robotic & Laparoscopic Management of Upper Tract Urothelial Tumors

Training Overview

Robotic & Laparoscopic Management of Upper Tract Urothelial Tumors is a comprehensive, simulation-based surgical education program designed for urologists, uro-oncology specialists, and OR professionals seeking to enhance their technical capabilities in minimally invasive management of UTUC. This two-day course integrates evidence-based theory with immersive simulation practice, emphasizing robotic and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy, distal ureterectomy, pelvic management, and complication control.

The program begins with detailed sessions on oncologic principles, tumor staging, preoperative imaging, and robotic/laparoscopic instrumentation specific to upper tract procedures. Participants explore essential surgical concepts including ureteral handling, lymphadenectomy mapping, bladder cuff excision strategies, and hemostatic control in complex anatomical settings.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to perform full procedural workflows using high-fidelity robotic and laparoscopic simulators and 3D renal–ureter–pelvis anatomical models. Under expert supervision, attendees practice trocar placement, ureteral dissection, vessel control, bladder cuff resection, specimen retrieval, and management of intraoperative challenges, with strong emphasis on oncologic safety and operative efficiency.

Through interactive video reviews, case-based discussions, and faculty-guided debriefings, participants analyze real UTUC surgical cases, evaluate operative decisions, and refine strategies for preventing tumor spillage, managing bleeding, and addressing perioperative complications. Structured performance feedback supports the development of advanced technical dexterity, oncologic precision, and surgical confidence.

By the end of the program, participants will have gained the technical and cognitive expertise required to perform robotic and laparoscopic UTUC procedures safely, efficiently, and in accordance with contemporary oncologic standards.
