Endorsed by EAES | Under the auspices of RAES | Accredited by the Romanian College of Physicians with 18 CME credits

Who should attend?
This hands-on workshop is designed for resident physicians and specialists in general surgery and gynecology, with basic or intermediate experience in laparoscopic surgery who wish to enhance their technical and theoretical skills in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures.

Learning objectives
During the 3-day training, participants will:
- Acquire the ability to correctly recognize and handle laparoscopic instruments and choose appropriate techniques for different procedures.
- Learn to safely establish pneumoperitoneum and to handle the camera for optimal image visualization.
- Develop bimanual dexterity and precise surgical gestures for tissue manipulation, sharp and blunt dissection, diathermic coagulation, clipping, sectioning, drain insertion, specimen extraction, and trocar site closure.
- Gain the necessary knowledge for the correct use of electrosurgical instruments.
- Learn simple and efficient methods for performing laparoscopic knots and sutures.
- Deepen their understanding of laparoscopic pelvic anatomy.
- Understand patient positioning, trocar placement, and OR setup specific to gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
- Identify and analyze intraoperative incidents and complications, and learn optimal strategies for their management.
- Practice key laparoscopic techniques including adnexectomy, hysterectomy, and myomectomy.

Teaching methodology
The workshop includes:
- Live surgery demonstrations
- Theoretical lectures and video presentations
- Case-based discussions with expert commentary
- Extensive hands-on training on pelvitrainer, POP-trainer, and functional tissue models

Outcomes
At the end of the workshop, participants will consolidate their theoretical and practical knowledge, gaining confidence in applying minimally invasive gynecologic techniques safely and effectively in their surgical practice.

Learning objectives
During the 2-day training, participants will:
- Acquire the knowledge required for the correct interpretation of surgical anatomy in laparoscopic approaches (both transperitoneal and totally extraperitoneal).
- Practice ambidexterity and master the correct surgical gestures for safe manipulation of funicular structures, sharp/blunt dissection in the preperitoneal space, and mesh insertion, positioning, and fixation.
- Gain insights into intraoperative incidents and complications during laparoscopic hernia repair, and learn the best strategies for preventing and managing them.

Teaching methodology
The workshop includes:
- Live surgery demonstrations
- Theoretical lectures & video presentations
- Case-based discussions and expert commentary
- Hands-on practice with pelvitrainer, POP-trainer, and functional tissue training

Outcomes
At the end of this workshop, participants will be more confident in their theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the laparoscopic management of inguinal hernias, enabling them to safely integrate these techniques into their daily practice.
