Participants of the course will consider a wide range of issues: from thoracoscopic correction of esophageal atresia to laparoscopically assisted interventions for children with anorectal defects.

Issues of endoscopic intraluminal correction of geneogenous megaureter and single-port laparoscopic operations in pediatric urology will also be discussed.
MAIN SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE:
  • 1
    Thoracoscopic surgery of esophageal defects of newborns
