Completed the Master in Integrated Health Services Management at ESADE Business School (DSIS 2003-04 and EMDOS/EMHOL 2014-15) with a training period at Georgetown University (Washington, USA). Serves on the Boards of several national and international scientific societies and has been responsible for the robotic surgery innovation line at IDIBELL since 2009. He is the director and coordinator of the International Course in Gynecological Surgery at Bellvitge University Hospital and an Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona.
His professional development focuses on the field of gynecologic oncology, and he served as the local president of the annual congress of the European Society of Gynecologic Oncology in Barcelona 2023. He is an expert in the development of advanced endoscopic techniques and has undergone training abroad in countries such as France, London, and Arizona, collaborating with Prof. Xavier Magriña (Mayo Clinic) for the recent implementation of robotic surgery.
A highly effective scientific communicator, he has delivered over 300 presentations at national and international conferences and has authored numerous informative contributions in health journals, women's health publications, and general and specialized press.
In December 2023, he was honored with the title of honorary member of the Catalan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (SCOG) for his significant contribution to the development of minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, he serves as a Proctor for the three most impactful robotic platforms today, namely Intuitive, Medtronic, and CMR.

Since the description of the first vaginal hysterectomy in 1813, the surgical technique has experienced minor advancements compared to the associated technology for the same procedure. These advancements allow us to perform this surgery in a more precise, efficient, and safe manner for patients. Despite a slight trend towards a reduction in its performance, in the United States, it remains the most frequent surgery among the female population. That is why it requires proper learning and standardization of surgical steps, which we will explain in detail. Not only that, but we will also teach different techniques for the same surgical step, which will provide us with additional surgical resources to apply in a more personalized manner. This lecture is recommended, from surgeons in training who can familiarize themselves with the anatomical spaces,, to advanced surgeons who may find certain surgical maneuvers performed using robotic surgery interesting.
