Laparoscopic surgery for benign and deeply infiltrative diseases represents a difficult and challenging issue for pelvic surgeons. A precise knowledge of pelvic Surgical Anatomy and the achievement of a know-how for navigating the retroperitoneal spaces and structures, provide a powerful tool to formulate a well-planned treatment strategy for a successful and safe surgery. A skilled laparoscopic surgeon is one who dominates with no fear of the surgical field, achieving the perception of retroperitoneum as his “best friend”. The golden word for that is: “ANATOMY”.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) Recognize the anatomical landmarks and major pelvic structures pertinent to gynecologic laparoscopy and retroperitoneal dissection for basic, intermediate and advances procedures; 2) Apply laparoscopic surgical techniques to enter and expose avascular spaces of the pelvis, parametrial ligaments, nerves and pelvic vessels and their relations to the ureter and retroperitoneal structures; and 3) Cite the principles of a nerve-sparing “philosophy” and the step-by-step dissection of the uterine artery and the pelvic ureter related to the different gynecological retroperitoneal procedures (i.e. big uteri, intraligamentary myomas, deep endometriosis, and gynecologic cancers).
