The workshop accredited by the Romanian College of Physicians, is addressed to resident physicians and specialists in General Surgery, Gynecology and Imaging, with an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.

During this event, participants will receive information concerning:
- standard investigations recommended for the diagnosis and staging of breast lesions;
- the specific aspect (echo, mammography, MRI) of the main diseases of the breast;
- ultrasound, mammographic and MRI semiology, imaging anatomy of the breast and armpit;
- indications and limits of each imaging method in the diagnosis of breast lesions;
- particular imaging aspects of malignant or benign breast tumors;
- the way in which the information provided by the imaging investigations completes the establishing of diagnosis and staging of breast cancer;
- protocols for performing imaging investigations;
- biopsy puncture of breast lesions under ultrasound guidance;
- imaging methods for preoperative localization of infraclinical lesions (mounting clips and harpoons).

During the hands-on sessions, the participants will have the opportunity to learn and perform ultrasound identification maneuvers for breast lesions, biopsy puncture with automatic or semi-automatic devices, mounting clips and metal wires to locate non-palpable lesions.

The interactive section of case presentations offers students the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in the diagnosis and establishing of the therapeutic indication for the present breast lesions.

The workshop includes theoretical lectures about the main senological imaging investigations, case presentations and discussions with the group of lecturers, video films, practical biopsy exercises and mounting of clips and harpoons on models under the guidance of experts.

This event, accredited by the Romanian College of Physicians, is addressed to resident physicians and specialists in general surgery, gynecology, with little or medium experience in laparoscopic surgery.

At the end of the event, the attendants:
- will have the ability to recognize laparoscopy instruments and will be able to decide what techniques to use;
- will learn to safely establish the pneumoperitoneum;
- will handle the camera so that it can provide optimal images;
- will practice the handiness of the right hand and of the left hand, in order to learn the correct gestures for: manipulation of abdominal structures, sharp and blunt dissection, diathermic coagulation, clipping, sectioning, inserting drain tubes, extracting parts, closing trocar holes;
- will have the necessary knowledge for the correct use of electrosurgical instruments;
- will learn the simple modalities to perform laparoscopic nodes;
- will have the necessary knowledge in the field of laparoscopic surgical anatomy of pelvis;
- will have the necessary knowledge for the correct positioning of the patient in gynecological laparoscopic surgery, as well as the positioning of trocars, the organization of the operating room for gynecological laparoscopic surgery;
- will learn about the accidents and incidents that may occur during a laparoscopic intervention and the best modalities to resolve them;
- will learn the modality of performing the techniques for laparoscopic anexectomy, hysterectomy and myomectomy.

The workshop comprises live surgical demonstrations, theoretical lectures, case discussions, comments, video films, practice on pelvitrainer and POP-trainer, practice on functional tissues.

At the end of the workshop you will be more confident in your possibilities and your practical skills concerning the application of elementary techniques concerning gynecological laparoscopic surgery and you will be able to start using the minimally-invasive approach in the gynecological surgical practice.
