Wednesday, March 31, 2004
Time of Lab: 1:00pm - 5:30 PM
Chair: Sherry Wren, MD
Co-Chair: Paul Cirangle, MD
Objectives:
Upon completion of the course all participants will be able to demonstrate:
- Sutured and stapled intestinal anastomoses
- In vivo use of energy devices to divide vascularized tissues
- Compare and contrast energy sources
- In vivo use of the 30 degree laparoscope
HPB Module:
Participants will demonstrate;
- Basic laparoscopic ultrasound techniques in a porcine liver.
- Basic techniques of radiofrequency ablation
- Perform image guided radio frequency ablation of a liver abnormality
Endoscopic Management of GERD Module:
Participants will discuss basic mechanical components
of the Stretta and Endocinch devices.
- Demonstrate application steps for each of the devices.
Solid Organ Module:
Participants will complete in the porcine model using two handed techniques;
- Bilateral adrenalectomy (including proper positioning of animal)
- Bilateral nephrectomy
Lab Description:
The first half of this course lab will provide all attendees
with information and instruction regarding the surgical techniques of suturing,
stapling,
GI anastamosis, and
energy devices. Attendees will then split into three sections, focused
on hepatobiliary disease, endoscopic management of GERD or solid organ.
Registration for this animate laboratory is limited to 90 participants.

Time: 7:30 - 11:30
AM
Duration of Course: Half Day
Chair: Steven Schwaitzberg, MD
Co-Chairs: Daniel Herron, MD and Alex Gandsas, MD
Course Description:
This course is designed for health care professionals who have a PDA and want to get more out of it. It is also for users who have never owned a PDA and want to explore the possibilities for use in their practice. Minimal computer experience is needed to participate fully in the workshop. You do not need to own a PDA to participate. Hewlett-Packard has provided IPAQ PDAs for use by the participants. Registration is limited to 40 participants (2 participants at each PDA station).
Course Objectives:
- Provide participants with an overview of mobility in healthcare possibilities utilizing PDAs
- Familiarize the participant with basic PDA features that will assist in surgical practice organization and patient education
- Demonstrate and utilize drug referencing software for incorporation into daily practice
- Demonstrate and practice clinical dictation on the PDA and understand its capabilities for integration of the documentation for effective practice management such as E&M coding
- Demonstrate and practice effective digital media (still photos, video) manipulation to utilize the PDA in order to give Powerpoint® presentations, or demonstrate photo or video files for medical professional or patient education purposes
Workshop Outline:
Mobility in Healthcare: What is possible today and tomorrow?
