Scientific Programme

Aims and objectives of this presentation Surgery of the kidney and adrenal gland by means of laparoscopy is standard of care. Approach: Transperitoneal, retroperitoneoscopy, posterior approach, direct approach through the mesentery of the colon. Each has specific advantages. Procedures: Virtually all ablative procedures concerning the adrenal, kidney and ureter, but also reconstruction. Rarely but effectively stone surgery. Presentation: power-point, interactive, videos, analysis of complications. • For surgery of the kidney and adrenal, the da Vinci robot is often overkill. Therefore standard laparoscopy should be mastered in addition. • Choice of the perfect approach makes the respective surgery easier and safer. • Standard laparoscopy is greatly facilitated by 3D vision. • When mastering both laparoscopic surgical skills and the surgical concept of the respective procedure complications can either be avoided or managed appropriately.
