21st Advanced Workshop on Gynecologic Laparoscopic Anatomy & Minimally Invasive Surgery with Emphasis on Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
In-Person Event
Jun 01 - 02, 2018
Louisville, Kentucky, USA
OVERVIEW
21st Advanced Workshop on Gynecologic Laparoscopic Anatomy & Minimally Invasive Surgery with Emphasis on Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is organized by American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) and will be held during Jun 01 - 02, 2018 at University of Louisville - HSC Instructional Building, Louisville, Kentucky, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is surgical gynecologists in practice and in training, as well as other healthcare professionals in the field of gynecology. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description:
This course is designed for gynecologists who desire to advance their laparoscopic skills. This extensive two-day course will expose the participants to the knowledge and expertise of world-renowned laparoscopic surgeons, including 7 Past Presidents of AAGL, who will guide them through didactics and hands-on laparoscopic suturing and cadaveric sessions utilizing unembalmed female cadavers.
No more than three participants are assigned to each cadaver and s/he is closely supervised by experienced faculty instructors. Each participant will have the opportunity to operate, assist, and observe in a rotational format to optimize their learning experience and suturing technique. The course will focus on demonstration of pelvic sidewall dissection, localization of the ureter and retroperitoneal blood vessels, preparation for laparoscopic hysterectomy, and laparoscopic cuff closure. We will also focus on pelvic floor reconstruction procedures concomitant to laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Course Objectives:
• Appraise skills learned to relevant pelvic anatomy and apply them to surgery including laparoscopic hysterectomy and pelvic floor surgery;
• Apply skills learned to pelvic sidewall dissection and illustrate retroperitoneal structures;
• Explain the ergonomics, theory, and rationale for reproducible laparoscopic suturing;
• Demonstrate measurable improvement in laparoscopic suturing skills and apply principles of laparoscopic suturing to fresh cadaver tissue.
• Identify risk factors for laparoscopic complications and manage treatment of such.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
