ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF UTERINE FIBROIDS: A HANDS-ON COURSE
Course PG11 (Saturday) • PEABODY HOTEL - ROOM T
To be held in The Peabody Orlando
NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COURSE DESCRIPTION
Management of uterine myoma is an essential skill for the reproductive surgeon in both treatment of symptoms of myoma
and maximizing fertility. This course will teach participants the indications for treatment of myoma and will compare
various therapeutic modalities. Learners will receive personalized hands-on instruction to advance their surgical skills in
hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic myomectomy. A progressive algorithm for suturing is used that will enable the
participant to achieve the multilayer continuous suturing closure required for laparoscopic myomectomy. Participants
also will receive hands-on training in morcellation techniques for tissue removal and in simulations for hysteroscopic
myomectomy techniques. Break-out sessions on robotic myomectomy will be available throughout the course. The goal
of this course is to integrate the manual and cognitive skills that enable the participant to develop the ability to perform
advanced minimally invasive management of myoma.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After participating in this course, participants should be able to:
1. List the indications of myomectomy and alternatives, and optimize the surgical approach.
2. Develop laparoscopic suturing skills that enable multilayer continuous suturing of myometrial defects.
3. Apply the acquired skills to perform all aspects of laparoscopic myomectomy.
4. Apply advanced hysteroscopic myomectomy skills.
5. Discuss the basic principles of robotic myomectomy.
