The course will also cover laparoscopic surgical dissection, effective use of laparoscopic instrumentation, electrosurgery and prevention and repairing of incidental bladder and bowel injuries.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participants should be able to:

• Accurately identify key components of pelvic anatomy essential to performing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
• Identify appropriate surgical techniques and instrumentation to efficiently perform laparoscopic suturing and knot tying during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
• Describe appropriate medical and surgical management options for patients presenting with complex, benign gynecologic conditions.
• Apply knowledge and problem-solving skills necessary for the management of complications from minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries, including the best practices in laparoscopic bladder and bowel injury repair.
• Demonstrate techniques utilized in pelvic sidewall dissection required in advanced endometriosis surgery.
• Demonstrate effective communication skills with team members to improve overall patient care quality and safety during minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries.
