This THREE-DAYS course and hands-on workshop is designed to educate attendees in the art and science of laparoscopic suturing, as well as provide "step by step" techniques for performing laparoscopic gynecological procedures. Unique opportunity to learn and perform laparoscopic dissection and use of different types of energies (electrosurgery, ultrasonics, stapling) on live tissue.

The curriculum of this course is a continuum of didactics followed by hands-on training sessions in a repetitive and increased fashion, reaffirming and maximizing technical skill development. Lectures will be evidence-based and will include extensive surgical videos.

The hands-on session will include EXTRAPERITONEAL pelvic and lombo-aortic lymphadenetcomy on live mini-pigs in experimental lab. Additional topics will include laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis and oncological scenarios, pelvic reconstruction, normal and abnormal anatomy, and COMPLICATIONS (identification and resolution by laparoscopy in a swine model).
