Aim of the course

This course will provide an introduction to minimally invasive colorectal surgery, specifically focusing on 2D-4k laparoscopic techniques.

Practical, hands-on sessions will offer participants the opportunity to perform 2D-4k laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, low anterior rectal resection, intra-abdominal anastomosis, and splenic flexure mobilization on cadavers.
