March 15th 2026

This 5-week intensive, hands-on program for urology residents and fellows will focus on laparoscopic partial radical prostatectomy. The curriculum includes two complete laparoscopic radical prostatectomies on an anatomically accurate, high-fidelity prostate model, practicing all key surgical steps—from venous complex ligation and bladder neck preservation to pedicle control, neurovascular bundle preservation, and urethrovesical anastomosis

Trainees practice all key surgical steps in a structured, step-by-step approach. All sessions are delivered live via Zoom, with real-time guidance from expert faculty.

Training method:

  • Individualized feedback from experienced proctors
  • Solid theoretical knowledge acquired through online lessons
  • Progressive and continuous hands-on simulation using cadaver-free, realistic models
  • Evaluation of training performance with quantitative metrics

You will develop all the integral skills of  radical prostatectomy:

  • Deep dorsal vein suture
  • Seminal vesicle and bladder neck dissection
  • Neurovascular bundle sparing
  • Radical prostatectomy
  • Urethrovesical anastomosis
