Laparoscopic Solid Organ Surgery
Pancreas, Spleen, Liver, Kidney, Prostate and Adrenal
Presented by: SIUH / SUNY Downstate Medical Center
Course Director: George Ferzli, MD, FACS
Wednesday, March 13, 2002, Lecture: 7:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Lab: 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant would have: 1) Reviewed the anatomy, indications and approach to laparoscopic surgery of the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, prostate and adrenal glands; 2) Ability to appreciate potential complications of the operations on solid organs and plan strategies to avoid them; 3) Watched videos and/or live surgery of various hernia repairs; 4) Performed splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, liver resection, and exposure and resection of both adrenal glands and 5) Reviewed and implemented techniques for hemostasis, laparoscopic vascular control and ligation.
Who Should Attend:
Surgeons, residents, and fellows interested in minimally invasive surgery should attend this course. GI assistants and nurses are also welcome for the didactic portion.

Course Description:Minimally invasive solid organ surgery continues to evolve as new technology is introduced, new procedures are developed and new approaches for standard procedures are created. Surgeons in practice and in training need hands-on experience to determine which new developments are relevant to them and to master new technology and techniques. This hands-on course will discuss the new developments in laparoscopic solid organ surgery. A sampling of the latest equipment, approaches and techniques will be available under the instruction of laparoscopic experts.
Lab Description:
Participants will review, implement and practice laparoscopic solid organ surgery on porcine animal models.
Logistics:
Casual attire for lectures. Scrubs will be provided for the lab. Transportation to the lab and lunch will be provided for lab participants. Transporation will be provided to SUNY Downstate from the New York Hilton and Towers. Shuttles will be available to take lab participants to the Ethicon lab in Somerville, NJ, and return to the NY Hilton.
