Hands-on Course I: Taking it to the Next Level: Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques
Course Director: Lee Swanstrom, M. D.
Lab Coordinator: Thadeus Trus, M. D.
Morning Didactic: 7:30 - 11:15 AM
Lab: 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM (including lunch)
Location: America's Center
Course Description:
Minimally invasive surgery is not a static phenomenon. It continues to evolve as new technology is introduced, new procedures are developed and new approaches for standard procedures are created. Surgeons in practice and in training need hands on experience to determine which new developments are relevant for them and to master new technology and techniques. This hands on course will discuss new developments in MIS and will give attendees a chance to learn new skills in an animate laboratory setting. A sampling of the latest equipment, approaches and techniques will be available under the instruction of laparoscopic experts.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will:
Recognize and understand the advantages and limitation of new instrumentation for minimally invasive surgery.
Identify new approaches for gaining access to the abdomen and endoscopic surgery, including their indications and techniques.
Become familiar with some of the newest minimally invasive procedures including surgery on the thyroid gland, parathyroid, esophagus, liver and spleen.
