International Hands-On Intensive Master in Basic and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgical Anatomy of the Female Pelvis and Techniques
International School of Surgical Anatomy (ISSA), Verona, Italy – Virtual Option Available
July 11th – 14th, 2022
The 3rd ISSA International Hands-On Intensive Master in Basic and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgical Anatomy of the Female Pelvis and Techniques, a hybrid live and virtual event, will take place in the city of love, beautiful Verona, Italy, July 11th – 14th, 2022. This master class anatomy course is designed for gynecologists, general surgeons, urologists, and pelvic surgeons who perform basic, intermediate, and difficult laparoscopic surgery. Designed by world renown, expert surgeons Marcello Ceccaroni, MD, PhD, and Shailesh Puntambekar, MD, PhD, this course features step-by-step surgical approaches to the pelvic viscera and to the different surgically treatable diseases affecting them, with a particular focus on benign disease, deep infiltrating endometriosis and gynecologic malignancies. Each day, live-surgery sessions will alternate with cadaveric hands-on dissections. In addition, attendees will appreciate theoretical presentations tied to live-surgeries performed by Dr. Ceccaroni, Dr. Puntambekar and other Masters of Surgery. A large set of surgical operations for different pathologies will be shown in live surgery, including simple laparoscopic hysterectomy, the “Pune Technique” radical hysterectomy, and the “Negrar Method” for eradication of deep infiltrating endometriosis with parametrial and rectal resection. Teaching will focus on the correct employment of nerve-sparing principles both in oncologic and benign disease, and on the correct use of energy and techniques.
