Thursday, March 14, 2002
Time: 8:00 - 11:00 AM and 2:00 - 5:00 PM
Duration of Course: Full Day
Course Co-Chairs: Nathaniel Soper, MD and Joel LeRoy, MD
Course Description:
This didactic, interactive course will address the issue of complications occurring as a result of laparoscopic surgery. Leading authorities from the U.S.A. and Europe will discuss general problems, such as access and pneumoperitoneum complications, as well as operation- specific complications due to the most commonly performed laparoscopic procedures. Emphasis will be placed on means by which these complications can be reduced or eliminated from one's practice. Adequate time will be programmed into the course to allow questions from the audience to be addressed by the faculty.
Objectives:
To understand the causes, mechanisms and means of prevention of the general complications of laparoscopic surgery.
To recognize the common pitfalls of the most frequent laparoscopic procedures.
To be exposed to various pharmaceutical agents which may help minimize perioperative problems.
To experience the rapidly-developing filed of surgical simulation as an aid to perioperative planning.
To realize the importance of determining outcomes in one's own surgical practice, and to be exposed to the tools for facilitation of this process.
