This is a hybrid course on the surgical management of cervical cancer, which includes 2 online sessions and hands-on training. The course will focus on providing an in depth understanding of surgical anatomy, as well as an essential knowledge on the surgical management of patients with cervical cancer, both early and advanced stages.

It will cover theoretical aspects including patterns of dissemination of the disease, general management and preoperative workout, fertility preservation aspects, surgical treatment technique and quality indicators of the surgical treatment.

In addition, one face-to-face session will be carried out in Madrid, where the attendees will have the opportunity to perform both open and laparoscopic surgery in Thiel fixed cadavers, which offer the highest level of approximation and reality in non-real patients surgery. It will include retroperitoneal laparoscopic lymph node dissection, useful for advanced stage cases and open radical hysterectomy with is the cornerstone of the treatment for early stage cases.

This hybrid format is spared in four sessions. Two online sessions with theoretical lectures and a video workshop that will set up the basis for the third and fourth practical session where all obtained knowledge will be applied in the cadaveric model. Interaction with an outstanding faculty will be possible at all sessions including the hands-on part.

 

Teaching Format

The course will have 4 sessions: 2 web-based sessions and 2 on-site sessions in Madrid. During the Web-based sessions theoretical and video-presentations will be carried out. During the third and fourth session of the course we will use cadavers fixed with Thiel technique for imparting the training, which permits a very actual dissection and flexibility of the bodies, allowing deep understanding of human anatomy.
