UPDATE IN GYNECOLOGICAL SURGERY: Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery

This three-day seminar and workshop offers an in-depth look at the latest techniques in gynecological surgery, including live surgery and demonstration of robotic surgery. This program establishes guidelines for practitioners on the most useful surgical techniques, instrumentation and technology. The hands-on workshop, available to a limited number of participants, reinforces the procedures discussed.

         - Myomectomy
         - Pelvic reconstructive procedures
         - Robotic surgery with DaVinci Robot
         - Identify areas of weakness requiring further study.
         - Demonstrate knowledge in pelvic anatomy, especially as it applies to surgery
         - Develop increased decision-making capability during procedures to enhance better outcomes,
         - Operate new instrumentation and energy sources and identify areas of best usage for these modalities.
         - Identify complications of minimally invasive surgery in a timely fashion and treat the conditions appropriately.
         - Describe the OR setup for minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery to perform procedures efficiently and skillfully.
