General, Laparoscopic, and Robotic

2026

Gynecologic surgery is undergoing one of the most transformative periods in its history.
Technological advances, the consolidation of minimally invasive techniques, and the growing impact of robotics have redefined standards and pushed boundaries, making it possible to achieve unprecedented levels of precision and surgical safety.

This graduate program was created with the goal of training professionals who are prepared for this new landscape—surgeons capable of moving with confidence between laparoscopy, robotic surgery, and conventional approaches, always grounded in evidence, ethics, and technical excellence.

Throughout the modules, students undergo a comprehensive program that combines theoretical updates, intensive hands-on training, and immersion in a real operating room, under the direct guidance of experienced mentors who are leaders in the field.
Each stage has been carefully designed to strengthen technical skills, clinical reasoning, and critical thinking in the face of the various challenges of contemporary gynecological surgery.

More than just a course, this is a journey of professional transformation.
Here, learning goes beyond technique—it fosters a new perspective on medical practice, centered on the patient, innovation, and the constant pursuit of superior results.

We look forward to welcoming you to this training program, which represents the future of gynecologic surgery in Brazil and Latin America.

Dr. Daniele Pastore, Dr. Fabio Fin and Dr. Reitan Ribeiro.

Methodology

The Lato Sensu Graduate Program in General, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Gynecology employs a hybrid methodology that integrates theory and practice. The program combines online classes, in-person sessions, realistic simulations, and observational internships, fostering continuous, critical learning that is aligned with the realities of medical practice.

Online Classes: Live and recorded presentations of theoretical content, discussion of guidelines, scientific articles, and clinical cases, with opportunities for real-time interaction and individualized study.
Commented surgical videos: Critical analysis of surgeries recorded by faculty members, highlighting techniques, management of complications, and evidence-based approaches.
In-person classes: Sessions focused on technical updates, discussion of complex cases, and in-depth study of laparoscopy and robotics.
Laboratory training: Includes dry-lab practice, realistic simulations on biological and live models, and an introduction to robotic surgery, using simulators and training on a surgical robot.
Live Surgeries: Observation and discussion of procedures broadcast in real time, with an emphasis on intraoperative decision-making and safety strategies.
Observational internship: Hands-on experience in the surgical routine of faculty members, in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries—ranging from simple to advanced procedures—with multidisciplinary collaboration.
Entrepreneurship and Career Management: Classes designed to encourage reflection on career paths, strategic planning, and the application of design and management tools.
