Do you want to grow professionally in the hospital sector? Then this postgraduate program is for you.
Get qualified in minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries
Surgical procedures involving minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy are increasingly recurrent, due to their small incisions and practices that lead to a quick recovery time, with less postoperative pain and an aesthetic result on the skin. In gynecology this method is of significant utility to address issues such as: preoperative assessment of adnexal masses, cystectomy and adnexectomy in benign ovarian tumor, or the management of complex non-endometriotic adnexal cysts. By accessing our Professional Master's Degree you will be able to learn about the above concepts and incorporate others to your competence canon: electrosurgery, pelvic floor pathology and use of vaginal mesh, benign uterine pathology and dysgenesis, endometriosis, gynecological cancers, among other interesting approaches that will be explained in ten modules. Thanks to the curricular flexibility and technological immersion provided by our platform, you will achieve an excellent command in a field that is widely requested at the clinical level. Do not hesitate and join the best online university in the world.
