Postgraduate Diploma in Reconstructive and Prosthetic Urology

POSTGRADUATE DEGREE IN

RECONSTRUCTIVE AND PROSTHETIC UROLOGY

2025

A Urologia Reconstrutiva e Protética tem se destacado como uma área de grande interesse e crescente demanda, impulsionada pela evolução tecnológica e pelas inovações em técnicas cirúrgicas. Hoje, a incorporação de procedimentos minimamente invasivos e o uso de robótica transformam a prática clínica, proporcionando resultados mais precisos, seguros e menos traumáticos para os pacientes. Este curso de pós-graduação foi concebido para atender a essa necessidade, oferecendo aos urologistas uma formação avançada que alia teoria e prática, com ênfase no treinamento hands-on em fresh cadáver e no uso da cirurgia robótica para reconstrução e implantes protéticos.

Scolla's structure has an environment fully prepared for surgical simulation and provides an immersive and highly qualified experience. The postgraduate course in Reconstructive and Prosthetic Urology is the first lato sensu postgraduate course focused on Reconstructive and Prosthetic Urology in Brazil, consolidating itself as a benchmark in training specialists to meet the growing demand in the area.
