Description: The all-day satellite surgical course will be divided into a morning didactic session followed by a hands-on robotic lab and laparoscopic labs. The morning session will be comprised of a didactic video, slide and lecture sessions covering robotic and conventional laparoscopic oncology procedures for gynecologic cancers, including radical hysterectomies and pelvic and high aortic lymphadenectomies. The management of intraoperative complications, such as ureteral, bladder, bowel, and vascular will also be discussed.
A lab has been planned for the afternoon session where participants will perform conventional laparoscopic and robotically assisted pelvic and high aortic lymphadenectomies.
Target Audience: International surgeons, residents and fellows-in-training and experienced surgeons seeking additional robotic and conventional laparoscopic training.
