Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery & Uretero-Neo-Cystostomy Human Fresh Frozen Cadaver Course was organised on 24 February 2023 in the afternoon. Faculty included Mr. Richard Bell and Mr. Alastair Lamb, Dr. Derya Balbay and Dr. Erdem Canda. We had 2 trainees for this course. Information about ports sites and robot docking was given. During the course video presentations of the steps were shown by Mr. Alastair Lamb. Trainees step-by-step performed posterior approach robotic radical prostatectomy procedure with NVB sparing.
