The main areas of interest
Meyer childrens hospital is one of the most important university hospital in Italy exclusively dedicated to kids. Patients are usually referred from all over the country and Europe for treatment of complex diseases or to receive minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches to different pathologies. In particular, the Paediatric Urology department offers high standards in treatment of the most common defects of upper and lower urinary tract and genitalia. Many deseases are approached with different techniques and technologies among the consultant team, giving the fellows the opportunity to understand, compare and learn a spectrum of strategies. The multidisciplinary approach involves the Nephrology, Pead.Surgery, Oncology and Endocrinology departments mostly, with regular MDT for the shared discussion of complex patients.
Areas of interest:
- Robotic and Laparoscopic reconstruction of upper&lower urinary tract;
- Uro-oncology (Wilms and RMS);
- Surgical repair of complex hypospadias and DSD;
- RIRS/PCNL for stone desease;
- Reference center for Spina Bifida- Neurogenic bladder.
Techniques You Will Learn
Techniques you will learn during your program here
The fellow will be involved in the ward and surgical activities. He/she will take part in MDTs actively. The fellow will be encouraged to engage the research programs currently running. Based on the fellow’s log-book and experience the consultants will tutor progressively the steps of different surgical procedures, especially MIS for urological reconstructions. The fellow will be always under the direct supervision of the tutor or one of the consultants. The fellows will not be asked to prescribe medications or fill in patients' notes, as the aim of their stay will focus on surgical activities. The Paed Urology Department offers a daily surgical activity, including both routine and complex cases. The aims and expectations have to be discussed with the tutor at the beginning of the fellowship and will be based also on the fellowship duration. Essential surgical targets could be:
- Principles of the robotic and laparoscopic approach to the upper tract;
- Principles of intracorporeal suturing;
- Principles of different strategies for hypospadias repair and follow-up;
The Paed Urology Department works together with the Pead Surgery and Neonatal Surgery departments. On-call includes all those specialities, so the fellow can decide to join the consultant on-call and improve experience in common surgical emergency (e.g. appendicitis, acute scrotum, intussusception, meckel’s, …), often approached with MIS.
