ISPD PD University for Surgeons
October 14, 2019 @ 7:45 am - 5:30 pm
USD $750The PD University for Surgeons is a two-fold approach to training general surgeons to place catheters for peritoneal dialysis using laparoscopic techniques. The course consists of didactic lectures followed by comprehensive hands-on workshops. The hands on workshop sessions are designed to take the general surgeon through the entire process of catheter placement; including pre-operative catheter exit site selection, catheter implantation, and exteriorization and dressing. The course is limited in size to maximize the learning experience and time for collaboration with the faculty.
More information can be found in the PDU website.
The course material will be delivered by renowned experts in the field.
There is limited availability for this program, so attendance will be determined on a first come, first serve basis.
A similar course is available for General Surgeons. For more information, please visit www.pduinir.com.
