Learning Objectives:

Select optimal candidates for surgery according to their level of expertise.
Perform both common as well as more challenging intraoperative scenarios in robotic radical prostatectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy.
Recognize and analyze how to avoid and effectively manage potential intraoperative complications during radical prostatectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy.complications during radical prostatectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy
Discuss the unique challenges related to setting up a successful robotic surgery program in LATAM.program in LATAM

This robotic surgery course will be entirely based on video analysis. The course will bedirected to all urologists willing to expand on their robotic surgical expertise. Yet, special emphasis on Latin-American robotic urologists will be placed as all faculty members and course directors belong to the region. This will provide a thoughtful discussion on the challenges of overcoming the learning curve and developing a successful robotic program in Latin America (LATAM). All attendees will be encouraged to submit de-identified video footages of their own to the course directors in advance. These materials will be reviewed beforehand, cropped as needed and organized into 2 modules of 1 hour each as described: Module 1—robotic radical prostatectomy
video analysis; Module 2—robotic partial nephrectomy video analysis. Each module will be further subdivided into topics including fundamentals (preoperative patient preparation, patient selection according to experience level, details on patient positioning and port placement), surgical steps (common and challenging scenarios) and complications (how to avoid, how to manage).
