The Society of Minimally Invasive Gynaecology (SMIG) is again offering an advanced surgical course focusing on laparoscopic hysterectomy. A two-day program is being offered with the option of participating in one or both days.
Day 1 will include didactic sessions reviewing practice principles and hands-on dry lab for suturing practice. Day 2 will offer a unique cadaver program that will allow small groups of three to practice live surgical principles with our dedicated faculty.After this program, the participants will have a better understanding of:
- Indications and appropriate patient selection for laparoscopic hysterectomy
- The concept of “technicity” to improve quality in surgical practice
- Relevant anatomy for laparoscopic hysterectomy
- The approach to performance of a laparoscopic hysterectomy
- The alternative energy sources and equipment available to assist in advanced laparoscopic procedures
- Laparoscopic suturing techniques (intra- and extra-corporeal)
The course directors are Dr. Catherine Allaire and Dr. Sukhbir Sony Singh. Please consult the registration form for cost based on participation on Day 1 or both days as well as registration to this program only or in conjunction with the ACM.
