Aim of the course

This two-day event is designed to cover the most recent advances in peritoneal surface malignancies treatment. Well-known experts in the field will teach about theory and techniques of laparoscopic peritonectomy, laparoscopic HIPEC, PIPAC, immunofluorescence, robotic, augmented reality and artificial intelligence application in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies.

The course will be a complete review of the added value of laparoscopy in the management of peritoneal disease (staging, treatment, palliation and research) and will give participants the opportunity to perform laparoscopic procedures on cadavers.
