Get up-to-date on the latest laparoscopic and robotic procedures in minimally invasive liver surgery” 

Both liver and biliary tract surgery and esophagogastric surgery have undergone a series of developments and advances of great relevance in recent years, especially with regard to endoscopic treatments, laparoscopy, robotic surgery and oncological therapies. Therefore, specialists dedicated to this field have much more advanced tools with which to address various hepatobiliopancreatic pathologies.

This is a major impulse for updating in this field, especially in everything related to therapies and Oncologic Surgery. This is the reason that has motivated TECH to create this program, where the latest developments in areas such as endoscopic treatment of esophageal cancer, diagnostic tests in hepatobiliary pathology and surgical treatment of metastases of neuroendocrine tumors are compiled.

All of this is supported by a teaching staff made up of experts in the area, who have contributed their own clinical experience to all the theoretical material. This gives each topic a particular practical vision, providing the specialist with an essential context to incorporate all these advances to their own work methodology.

The format of the program is, moreover, completely online. This means that there are no presential classes or fixed schedules, giving total freedom to take on the teaching load at one's own convenience. All the contents available in the Virtual Campus can be downloaded from any device with Internet connection, and can be reviewed later from the comfort of the tablet or even from a smartphone.
