Do you want to be at the forefront of Portal Hypertension Surgery? Enroll now in this comprehensive 100% online program"

Portal hypertension is one of the areas of hepatology that has undergone the most changes in recent decades. These range from a better understanding of its pathophysiology to improvements in therapeutic systems. An example of this is the pharmacological therapy for acute bleeding due to esophageal varices. In this context, physicians can drastically reduce the mortality of complications arising from this pathology. To achieve this, it is vital that specialists acquire greater knowledge about new therapy techniques and drugs. 

In this context, TECHimplements an innovative program dedicated to analyzing advanced diagnostic techniques and surgical strategies such as splenectomy. The educational itinerary addresses the signs of portosystemic collaterals, so that students can identify them correctly.

It also offers keys to carry out continuous monitoring plans in order to verify the current status of patients. Also, physicians have the opportunity to analyze the management of bleeding through the use of sealants and hemostatics, allowing the fluid to remain in the blood vessels.

In addition, liver function is described based on both markers and laboratory tests. In this sense, graduates of the program can examine the benefits of radiology and other techniques such as chemoembolization and image-guided biopsy.

It should be noted that the methodology of this program emphasizes its innovative nature. TECH offers a 100% online educational environment, tailored to the needs of busy professionals seeking to advance their careers. It also relies on the Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning. In this way, the combination of flexibility and a robust pedagogical approach makes it highly accessible. Furthermore, learners will have access to a rich library of multimedia resources in different audiovisual formats (such as interactive summaries and infographics).
