AAGL 2023: 52nd Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS)

AAGL 2023: 52nd Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) is organized by American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) and will be held from Nov 05 - 08, 2023 at Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America.

Description:
AAGL is the largest medical society focused on gynecologic surgery, with an international membership of over 7,100 physicians and healthcare providers committed to advancing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS). AAGL’s Annual Global Congress is the premier scientific program that provides the world’s finest gynecologic surgeons with the latest education and best practices in MIGS.

Practice Gap:
There is a fundamental lack of minimally invasive gynecological surgical training during physicians’ formal education and difficulty in acquiring formal training once in medical practice. Gynecologic Surgeons who desire to advance their skills and knowledge in laparoscopic surgery need a forum from which to learn from experts in the field and the opportunity to put newly gained knowledge into practice. Additionally, most gynecologists do not have a sufficient annual volume of benign gynecologic procedures to maintain proficiency. The learning curve for laparoscopic hysterectomy proficiency has been reported to be as high as 75 cases and for robotic hysterectomy proficiency to be as high as 91 cases. Educational forums like the AAGL Annual Global Congress on MIGS provide formal educational and training opportunities, such as surgical tutorials and cadaver labs, which provide access for gynecologists to gain the experience and proficiency needed, post-residency, to perform advanced laparoscopic, robotic, hysteroscopic, abdominal and vaginal surgery for complex, benign gynecologic conditions. These conditions include uterine fibroids, advanced endometriosis, benign ovarian neoplasms, ovarian remnants, and chronic pelvic pain.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to:

• Apply the latest developments in minimally invasive healthcare for women
• Demonstrate the skills needed for proficiency
• Employ minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, pelvic floor repair, treatment of endometriosis, and advanced hysteroscopic techniques
• Acquire hands-on experience in the anatomy laboratory as well as laboratories focused on laparoscopic suturing, hysteroscopy, robotic surgery, and single-port surgery
• Apply the latest advances in research and techniques in the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
• Evaluate the data presented to determine the best methods for the practice of gynecologic medicine
• Demonstrate and enhance their presentation and publication skills with a hands-on workshop
• Explore the practice that exists in the intersections between surgical gynecology and other disciplines such as obstetrics, oncology, reproductive medicine, pediatrics, and adolescent medicine
• Identify complications that may occur during minimally invasive surgery in order to better prevent, avoid, and manage complications
• Provide culturally, ethnically, and sociologically inclusive clinical care
