Update your uterine repair skills – Hysteroscopic resection, hysteroscopic septum resection, Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for intrauterine adhesions, hysteroscopic timing and removal of RPOC and Hysteroscopic T shaped uterus – what to do and what not to do.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) Evaluate the merits and potential drawbacks of novel devices and procedures in gynecologic surgery; 2) Predict how emerging technologies will influence future innovations in the field of gynecology and pelvic surgery; and 3) Explain the process of filing for provisional and non-provisional patents to protect one’s intellectual property.

Course Outline
Welcome, Introduction, and Course Overview
Hysteroscopy Ergonomics
• Perform diagnostic hysteroscopy with reusable and disposable systems.
• Perform operative hysteroscopy with reusable and disposable systems using operative instruments for directed biopsy, polypectomy and septum transection.
Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal Systems (HTR)
• Perform operative hysteroscopy for polyps, fibroids, retained products of conception, and visual D&C using HTR systems.
Resectoscopy
• Utilize principles of electrosurgery and perform myoma resection, polypectomy or endometrial ablation/resection using resectoscopes and various electrodes.
Endometrial Ablation
• Perform simulated endometrial ablation with proper use of endometrial ablation devices.
Fluid Management
• Incorporate appropriate fluid management systems into operative hysteroscopy using different hysteroscopic devices.
Virtual Reality Simulation • Explore virtual reality surgical skills development by performing tissue removal, resectoscopy and diagnostic hysteroscopy in a simulated computer environment.
