Next Course:
Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to announce the continuation of the Leipzig school program in the original format as face-to-face event with live surgery.
The next courses on total mesometrial resection (TMMR) and therapeutic lymph node dissection (tLND) will be held from September 19 – 22, 2022 and on vulvar field resection (VFR), anatomical reconstruction and tLND from October 4 - 6, 2022.
The course on cancer field surgery of vaginal carcinoma, locally advanced and recurrent cervix carcinoma (extended mesometrial resection, laterally extended endopelvic resection and abdominoperineal TMMR) is planned for spring 2023. The exact date will be announced as soon as possible.
The courses introduce new clinical data and novel oncological and anatomical insights including advancements of the ontogenetic cancer field model of regional tumor progression and on pathomechanisms of locoregional recurrences. All surgical techniques are demonstrated in the latest version.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Leipzig.
