Join us for an advanced 2-day course in robotic hepatic and pancreatic surgery.<\/p>\n
This course combines expert-led lectures, live or prerecorded surgical demonstrations, and hands-on training sessions, allowing participants to gain insight into the latest robotic technologies used in hepatic and pancreatic procedures. Under the guidance of experienced faculties, participants will learn how to properly set up the robotic system and efficiently use its features to optimize surgical performance.
\nThe course is designed to foster strong interaction and exchange between participants and experts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":116652,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ise_prev_year":0,"imp_prev_year":0,"ise_next_year":0,"imp_next_year":0,"ise_last_date":0,"imp_last_date":0,"ise_next_date":0,"imp_next_date":0,"data":{"subtitle":"","year":2026,"slug":"2026-robotic-hepatic-and-pancreatic-surgery-advanced-course","options":{"B":{"key":"B","title":"OPTION B | Practical training on live tissue","items":[{"text":"Hands-on sessions on live tissue (mini-pigs)<\/b>","checked":true},{"text":"Live or pre-recorded operative demonstrations","checked":true},{"text":"Theoretical sessions","checked":true},{"text":"Coffee breaks and lunches at IRCAD","checked":true},{"text":"One evening dinner at Brasserie Les Haras","checked":true}],"warning":"","specialOffer":{"text":"","courseId":null},"feature_image_id":116654},"C":{"key":"C","title":"OPTION C | Practical training on anatomical specimens","items":[{"text":"Hands-on sessions on anatomical specimens<\/b>","checked":true},{"text":"Live or pre-recorded operative demonstrations","checked":true},{"text":"Theoretical sessions","checked":true},{"text":"Coffee breaks and lunches at IRCAD","checked":true},{"text":"One evening dinner at Brasserie Les Haras","checked":true},{"text":"","checked":false}],"warning":"","specialOffer":{"text":"Register simultaneously for both this course and the \"Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Advanced Course<\/a>\", and get an instant 200-euro discount<\/b> off the laparoscopic course!\n\u2013 not combinable with other discounts \u2013","courseId":116645},"feature_image_id":116656}},"language":"English","details":{"email":"hbp.eits@ircad.fr","noAccommodation":{"text":"No accommodation, no social program and no entertainment included in the registration fees for participants."},"boards":[{"title":"Course directors","content":[{"name":"M.
