Aims and objectives
Laparoscopic procedures are continuously evolving in urology based on the increasing expertise of urologic
surgeons. This includes ablative procedures, such as radical nephrectomy as well as reconstructive
techniques, such as pyeloplasty. Some advanced procedures (i.e. radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy)
have both, ablative and reconstructive steps. Since the number of centres with laparoscopic expertise is
still limited in Europe, laparoscopic training programmes have become very important. Hands-on training
courses at the pelvi-trainer represent one of the main steps of such courses. Finally, all remaining questions
can be answered and discussed with all tutors including the demonstration of tips and tricks.
