Course Description: The course was designed to help surgeons in their time of most extreme need. It is presented by the world’s most experienced faculty who have stored video of their most extreme scenarios during robotic surgery. The course is video based and will focus on urologic oncology. It will show video footage of the most difficult anatomical and technical challenges that pushed the world’s most experienced robotic surgeons to their limits. We will discuss both single-port and multiport approaches. This extreme video course outlines management of challenging scenarios, complications, observation and management of never-before-seen anatomy, surgical adaptation and improvisation. Topics: Cancer of the Prostate, Kidney, Penis and Testicles. Scenarios presented include cases that were aborted due to challenging anatomy, rectal injury, obturator injury, pudendal artery management, extremely obese patient, salvage surgery, massive prostates, renal vascular injury and excessive bleeding during surgery. These are all scenarios that most robotic surgeons will face at some point in their practice. In this course you will learn how the experts managed these issues and survived. Course Disclaimer: This course is not for the faint of heart, and the scenarios presented in this course should be avoided at all costs.

Learning Objectives:

Identify low-, intermediate- and high-risk robotic surgery scenarios.
Recommend treatment based on risk stratification.
Manage prostate, kidney, penis and testis cancers. This will include chemotherapy indications and the role of immunotherapy in management.
Manage upper tract tumors, both low grade and high grade, including renal preservation when appropriate, neoadjuvant therapy when indicated and surgical management strategies.
