The Minimally Invasive Surgery Course is a cadaver based, hands-on educational program designed to provide an in-depth experience in Gynecologic Minimally Invasive Surgical techniques. It is designed for gynecologic surgeons who desire to advance their laparoscopic skill set and knowledge base, and apply these skills to perform more advanced Minimally Invasive Surgeries in their practices. It will include training in laparoscopic suturing techniques, laparoscopic surgical dissection and effective use of laparoscopic instrumentation. Surgical techniques to prevent and repair bladder and bowel injuries will be taught and performed. Inanimate laparoscopic trainers are available throughout the entire course so that participants can master the skills of laparoscopic suturing and knot tying.
