Apart from theoretical courses and training in realistic simulators, the center decisively contributes to the practical training, providing trainers with the opportunity to practice all the required surgical techniques on real cadaver or animal parts. In a specially set-up room with all the equipment and instruments found in real surgeries, the trainee surgeons can familiarize with the latest surgical

techniques and acquire practical experience in the behavior of "live” tissues during the procedure, without the anxiety of injuring a real patient. Under the supervision and guidance of experienced and distinguished trainers, the experimental surgeries allow trainee surgeons to acquire experience in real surgical conditions, to develop new skills and correct their weaknesses through repetition, without time pressure.
