The new scenarios push us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of the most experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the advances that are taking place in the surgical practice of the urinary tract"

Many advances in surgical innovation in urological surgery allow for faster recovery and better patient prognosis.

This postgraduate diploma covers surgery of the upper urinary tract (UUT). After the first three modules that review the upper surgical anatomy, the basic aspects of urological surgery and diagnostic and therapeutic tests in urology, the latest trends in surgical pathology of the upper urinary tract, excluding renal pathology itself, are reviewed.

Reviews the different techniques and accesses for nephroureterectomy, explaining the treatment of the distal ureter, percutaneous surgery or endoscopic retrograde retrograde intrarenal surgery to address TUS tumors.

Additionally, it addresses the different accesses and techniques for the treatment of both renal and ureteral lithiasis, as well as the auxiliary instruments for this type of surgery, including antiretropulsion mechanisms and ureteral access sheaths. Finally, the different techniques for the treatment of strictures at any level of the TUS and for re-implanting the ureters are described.

This postgraduate diploma in Upper Urinary Tract Surgery is aimed at facilitating the update of surgical procedures and techniques of the lower urinary tract to the specialist, in a practical way through the latest educational technology.
