23rd Annual Comprehensive Workshop on Minimally Invasive Gynecology for Residents, Fellows & New MIG Specialists

This course is designed for residents, fellows and specialists interested in advancing their skills and knowledge in the fundamentals of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. Rather than focusing on specific endoscopic procedures, the curriculum focuses on fundamental skills and knowledge that are essential to laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgical procedures.

Both didactic and hands-on laboratory sessions are used to teach different methodologies for tissue manipulation and dissection, the safe use of lectrosurgery and ultrasonic energy, laparoscopic suturing, techniques for tissue removal and morcellation, and both diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures.

A full spectrum of operative laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures including associated complications will be critically reviewed using an interactive case-study format. This course will also review and discuss the new spectrum of robotics in minimally invasive gynecology. The course emphasizes basic surgical principles emphasizing risk reduction and strategic thinking to ensure risk reduction and optimal patient care.
