WelcomeView of The University of Chicago

The University of Chicago Minimally Invasive Robotic Urology Program welcomes you to the 2008 Robotic Prostatectomy Expert Panel-Review Course. Our program, aimed at the novice and intermediate robotic urologists, will provide a state-of-the-art examination of the technical maneuvers and variations utilized by experienced, expert faculty during radical prostatectomy.

In this unique, course focused solely on application of the robotic system for radical prostatectomy, there will be a combination of keynote video-based presentations and panel-review on each key aspect of the procedure, live surgical demonstrations, plenary Q&A sessions and personalized break-out sessions with our faculty members. Over the two summer days, our diverse, international panel will essentially dissect the robotic prostatectomy procedure, analyze oncologic outcomes and perform a comprehensive analysis of the function domains (urinary and sexual) which are impacted by surgical management of localized prostate cancer. Invited expert speakers in areas of urinary continence, sexual medicine and nutrition will also highlight strategies to optimize patient care and recovery.

Our continued goal is to share our collective experience and demonstrate the variety of surgical techniques to complete each aspect of robotic prostatectomy, thus simplifying the learning curve and improving patient care.

We truly hope you enjoy the 2008 Robotic Prostatectomy Expert Panel-Review Course and all the wonderful cultural, culinary and summer activities Chicago has to offer.
