Course Description
The primary goal of this two-day postgraduate course is to educate gynecologic
surgeons in the art and science of laparoscopic suturing and knot-tying. This will be done via six intensive, hands-on workshops using approximately 45 of the latest in pelvic-trainer stations. During workshop sessions, preceptors will supervise each station and guide each participant to achieve their desired goals. In addition, a variety of surgical-video presentations and didactic lectures by renowned guest faculty will clearly demonstrate step-by-step procedures for tackling easy to difficult laparoscopic hysterectomy, including the total, supracervical, and laparascopically-assisted vaginal procedures, with and without
adnexectomy.
Suturing and knot-tying are essential tools for advancing your career as a laparoscopic
surgeon. A deficiency in suturing skills has forced many an unnecessary conversion from laparoscopy to laparotomy, prolonged operating time, and/or increased postoperative morbidities. The course format entwines didactics with repetitive hands-on sessions to reaffirm the learnt skills.
Course Objectives
- Advance ability to perform all aspects of minimally-invasive surgery by strengthening suturing and knot-tying skills;
- Evaluate the treatment options for gynecological patients presenting for a minimally-invasive hysterectomy;
- Acquire the knowledge of experts in applying minimally-invasive surgery techniques to advanced gynecological procedures;
- Increase the self-confidence of gynecologic surgeons toward minimally-invasive surgery, thereby improving patient outcomes;
- Explore indications and techniques for use of the new vessel-sealing technologies;
- Identify early diagnosis and treatment options for gynecologic conditions;
- Identify newly-recognized complications of laparoscopic surgery that affect the diagnostic and management options for treating patients.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Attending and resident obstetrician/gynecologists, fellows in gynecologic subspecialties, and PA’s who function as surgical first assistants.
