This Professional master’s degree is aimed at specialists who want to update their knowledge and learn the latest techniques in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatrics” 

Comprehensive training in minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy and endoscopy) is not acquired in the undergraduate or postgraduate teaching programs of the different surgical specialties.

In addition to needing to provide in-depth knowledge of these techniques, this type of program must also include a specific theoretical and practical teaching methodolody. The fact that these techniques are offered in hospitals is a seal of quality in health care. Nowadays, patients’ parents who are familiar with the latest technologies demand specialized professionals who can treat their children with minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopy and laparoscopy. These techniques can help physicians to diagnose and treat many of the surgical pathologies of pediatric patients.

Therefore, it is logical to promote the training of professionals in this discipline, as their education is not regulated and so they have to rely on postgraduate training that is taught by different professionals who are experts in this field.

In this Professional master’s degree, the majority of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques used today on pediatric patients will be studied in depth. The program will cover airway, digestive and urinary tract endoscopy, as well as laparoscopic techniques used in general and thoracic surgery and gynecology and urology. Focusing primarily on minimally invasive techniques, we will review the part of pediatric surgery that can be diagnosed or treated through using these techniques.

In order to ensure this, the best experts in the field will contribute their personal experience and present the latest trends in each of their areas of expertise.
