Description

Join us for a comprehensive, two-hour exploration into cutting-edge techniques and advances in reproductive surgery. This postgraduate course is designed for surgeons aiming to optimize fertility outcomes for their patients through evidence-based implementation of surgical techniques. Delve into the complex realm of peritoneal and inflammatory factors such as pelvic adhesions and deep endometriosis, gaining insights into how these conditions impact fertility and discovering surgical interventions that can truly make a difference in the most impactful infertility bottom lines: Pregnancy and live birth rates.

Master the art of laparoscopic management of the tubes and ovaries for women desiring pregnancy, being mindful of the ovarian reserve and refining your skills to enhance reproductive outcomes. Deepen your practice and knowledge of both robotic and laparoscopic approaches to uterine surgery for the management of adenomyosis and fibroids while preserving and optimizing uterine function for both embryo transfer and unassisted pregnancy. Explore into the uterine microenvironment through hysteroscopic approaches, uncovering the why and the how of diagnosing and treating infertility-related intrauterine issues with precision.

Finally, gain comfort in dealing with the latest surgical techniques to enhance fertility-treatment of the uterine isthmocele and cervical cerclage. Throughout the course, expert reproductive surgeons will instruct on up to the minute practice, utilize video demonstrations, and engage in discussions rooted in evidence-based practices. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your surgical prowess, elevate patient care, and stay at the forefront of reproductive surgery advances.

Learning Objectives: After attending this session, the participant will be able to: 1) Accurately diagnose and effectively manage pelvic adhesions and deep endometriosis affecting fertility; 2) Apply innovative reproductive surgery approaches to the uterus and adnexae, including robotic and laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of adenomyosis, fibroids, adnexal lesions, isthmocele and cervical cerclage; and 3) Perform advanced hysteroscopic procedures to improve the endometrial environment for either assisted or unassisted pregnancy.
