Hands-On Training in Laparoscopic Suturing, Use of Energy Sources, Dissectional Anatomy, Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Myomectomy

This workshop begins with a discussion of laparoscopic instrumentation, suturing techniques, and energy sources. Pelvic trainers will be used extensively to demonstrate and practice laparoscopic instrumentation and suturing. A hands-on experience with energy sources will allow participants to compare various modalities. Using unembalmed female cadavers to create a realistic surgical setting, the second day provides a hands-on review of female pelvic anatomy and the principles of dissection. Techniques of laparoscopic hysterectomy will be presented in the optional hands-on cadaver session at the end of Day 2.
