Join us for a A Hands-On Cadaveric Laboratory on Liver Resection on May 1, 2024, during the ILTS Annual Congress in Houston.
This Robotic Liver Resection course covers fundamental aspects of robotic liver surgery including program setup, pre-operative preparation, and detailed surgery technique for all major hepatectomy procedures. Course program includes didactic sessions, video analysis and hands-on cadaveric laboratory with a group of international expert faculty.
