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"

The postgraduate diploma in Lower Urinary Tract Surgery comprises possibly the most prevalent part of urological surgical pathology. In addition to lower and pelvic floor surgical anatomy and the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in urology, it covers all the advances in surgical pathology of the bladder, including the new techniques of en bloc transurethral resection, with the support of technology that optimizes the detection of tumors and carcinoma in situ (CIS) in the bladder.

Laparoscopy and more recently robotics have made possible a shorter postoperative period with fewer complications after radical surgery and intestinal bypasses that can now be approached intracorporeally, especially with 3D technology. Lymphadenectomy with fluorescence techniques such as ICG, as well as the treatment of non-tumorous bladder pathology also have their place in this expert.

Prostatic pathology is a very important part of the expert, and possibly the one in which there has been the greatest revolution in terms of surgical techniques in the last decade. As for benign pathology, the appearance of green, holmium and thulium lasers, as well as prostatic vaporization with bipolar technology, and minimally invasive techniques are already revolutionizing the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopy, robotics, single port and fluorescence techniques minimize the morbidity of surgical treatment in cases of prostate tumor pathology. The application of techniques for the focal treatment of prostate cancer, avoiding overtreatment in low-risk cases, is also making great progress.

It also includes the treatment of urethral pathology, where open surgery is still used, with the use of buccal mucosa in cases of stenosis, which has significantly improved functional results in recent years.

This postgraduate diploma in Lower 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.
