This postgraduate diploma is aimed at specialists who want update their knowledge and acquire the latest techniques in Laparoscopy in General Surgery"

In addition to requiring in-depth knowledge of these techniques this apprenticeship requires a specific theoretical and practical program. The offer of these techniques to patients by hospitals is a seal of quality in health care. Nowadays, the parents of patients who are familiar with the latest technologies demand professionals who master them and can treat their children with minimally invasive techniques such as Laparoscopy.
