IRCAD Lebanon is proud to announce its first free course on robotic surgery, an initiative designed to introduce medical students and residents to cutting-edge surgical techniques. Hosted at Hôpital du Levant, this two-day event (on February 26-27th, 2025) will feature expert-led theoretical sessions, practical demonstrations, and live surgical transmissions.
The course aims to familiarize attendees with robotic-assisted surgical procedures, with a focus on urologic surgery. Led by renowned specialists Professor Alexandre De La Taille, and Dr Nour Khalil sessions will cover an introduction to robotic surgery in urology, step-by-step procedural learning with Intuitive Surgical, live retransmission of robotic surgeries, and small-group OR attendance for urology residents.
“Robotic surgery represents the future of medical practice, and we are committed to spreading knowledge and expertise to Lebanese students, ensuring they remain at the forefront of surgical advancements,” said Dr. Antoine Maalouf, President of IRCAD Lebanon. “By offering this course free of charge, we reaffirm Lebanon’s role as a regional center for medical innovation and excellence.”
The event will welcome participants from Lebanon’s top medical universities, including Beirut Arab University (BAU), Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), Lebanese American University (LAU), Lebanese University (LU), Saint George University of Beirut (SGUB), University of Balamand, and the American University of Beirut (AUB).
