Laparoscopic Urogynaecology Advanced Masterclass (Jun 27, 2019)

Laparoscopic Urogynaecology Advanced Masterclass is organized by London Medical Education Academy (LMEDAC) and will be held on Jun 27, 2019 at Royal College of Surgeons, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CPD points.

Description:
We work on fresh frozen specimens as we consider it to be the superior preservation method for surgical training. We only use HTA approved labs with the best possible equipment. Our organisational skills are internationally recognised, and Faculty is recognised not only for their technical skills but also for their willingness to interact and engage in healthy debate on the benefits of different approaches.

Candidates are expected to be comfortable with laparoscopic suturing and would normally be Consultant Gynaecologists with an interest in laparoscopic pelvic floor surgery, Subspecialist Urogynaecologists or Senior (Subspeciality) Trainees.

What should I expect?
This intensive hands-on course focused on the skills and techinques needed to perform the following laparoscopic procedures for female incontinence:
• Laparoscopic Colposuspension and Paravaginal Repair
• Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

The relevant anatomy will be discussed and demonstrated and since this is a course for surgeons with experience, it is useful to prepare by revising the anatomy before the course as we won’t be spending time on learning it during the course. You will be spending a full day in the lab, with only the necessary time to brief you on the theory to be ready to go in the lab before we get started.

Variety of specimens
You may have patients (specimens) with different anatomy: some may even have had previous incontinence surgery. The different procedures and the varied specimens will mirror your operating theatre experience well, and discussions around chosen approach tends to be very lively. We encourage healthy debate, and invite you to bring your experience and skill to the table.

What will I achieve?
• working on your own (or shared) specimen
• in-depth surgical knowledge of procedure(s)
• new considerations for performing incontinence repairs in different anatomy
• 7 CPD points
• valuable discussions with other attendees from all over the world
• hands-on training from experienced surgeons
• anatomical landmarks identified
• opportunity to start/stop during the procedures, and even start over to improve technical skills
• discuss tricky cases
• adverse event management
