01070 - Urology (LZ)

Academic Year 2024/2025

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Single cycle degree programme (LMCU) in Medicine and Surgery (cod. 5904)

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to give to the student the essential theoretical and practical knowledge of the main primitive and secondary diseases of the genito-urinary tract, with the objective to give the follows elements: correct theoretical and methodological approach to urological and andrological primary and secondary disease; differentiate clinical scenarios and knowledge of prevention, diagnosis, clinical presentation, decision making process and possible complications. At the end of the course the student would know the basic information concerning the main urological and andrological disease, as well as the biochemical, imaging and clinical test involved in the diagnosis and treatment process. Thanks to the attendance to training courses and elective mono-thematic courses (robotic surgey in urology), at the end of the course the student will gain the theoretical-practical bases helpful to correctly diagnose and treat the diseases

Teaching methods


lezioni frontali

tirocinio presso: sala operatoria tradizionale, robotica ed endoscopica (padiglione 1 ospedale malpighi) e sala open/robotica (padiglione 5 ospedale s. orsola)
tirocinio presso il reparto di degenza e gli ambulatori urologici (ambulatorio divisionale, pronto soccorso urologico, cistoscopia, biopsia prostatica, urodinamica)
Modifica Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
esame orale con una o due domande su un argomento generale del programma

Lo scopo della prova orale è verificare la capacità dello studente di applicare il proprio bagaglio nozionistico e di eseguire i necessari collegamenti logico-deduttivi.

Gradazione del voto finale:

Preparazione su un numero molto limitato di argomenti affrontati nel corso e capacità di analisi che emerge solo con l’aiuto del docente, espressione in linguaggio complessivamente corretto → 18-19;
Preparazione su un numero limitato di argomenti affrontati nel corso e capacità di analisi autonoma solo su questioni puramente esecutive, espressione in linguaggio corretto → 20-24;
Preparazione su un numero ampio di argomenti affrontati nel corso, capacità di compiere scelte autonome di analisi critica, padronanza della terminologia specifica → 25-29;
Preparazione sostanzialmente esaustiva sugli argomenti affrontati nel corso, capacità di compiere scelte autonome di analisi critica e di collegamento, piena padronanza della terminologia specifica e capacità di argomentazione e autoriflessione → 30-30L.



Modifica Strumenti a supporto della didattica
powerpoint e video chirurgici delle principali e più recenti tecniche chirurgiche, endoscopiche, laparoscopiche e robotiche



Gli studenti hanno anche la possibilità di eseguire un breve training al simulatore del robot chirurgico o con il pelvic trainer per la chirurgia laparoscopica



Per questo è necessario mandare una mail a riccardo.schiavina3@unibo.it per programmare il training durante il corso

frontal lessons

internship at: traditional, robotic and endoscopic operating room (pavilion 1 malpighi hospital) and open / robotics room (pavilion 5 s. orsola hospital)

internship in the hospital ward and urological clinics (divisional surgery, urological emergency room, cystoscopy, prostate biopsy, urodynamics)

Assessment methods

oral exam with one or to question on a general argument of the program

The purpose of the oral exam is to verify the student's ability to apply his or her knowledge and to make the necessary logical-deductive connections.

Gradation of the final grade:

preparation on a very limited number of topics covered in the course and analytical skills that emerge only with the help of the teacher, expressed in an overall correct language → 18-19; Preparation on a limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to autonomous analysis only on purely executive matters, expression in correct language → 20-24; Preparation on a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent choices of critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29; Basically exhaustive preparation on the topics covered in the course, ability to make autonomous choices of critical analysis and connection, full mastery of specific terminology and ability to argue and self-reflection → 30-30L.

Teaching tools

The students have also the possibility of performing a small training at the console of the surgical robot using the simulator or at the pelvic trainer for laparoscopic surgery

For this purpose, send a mail to riccardo.schiavina3@unibo.it in order to plan the training during the course
