26th Advanced Workshop on Gynecologic Laparoscopic Anatomy & Minimally Invasive Surgery with Emphasis on Laparoscopic Treatment of Endometriosis
The upcoming 26th Advanced Workshop on Gynecologic Laparoscopic Anatomy and Minimally Invasive Surgery, May 29-30, 2026 at the University of Louisville, offers an immersive, high-impact learning experience for gynecologists seeking to advance their surgical expertise. Designed for both practicing physicians and those in training, this intensive two-day program blends targeted lectures with hands-on skill development, guided by experienced, fellowship-trained laparoscopic surgeons. Participants engage in focused suturing exercises and cadaver-based training in a highly personalized setting, ensuring ample opportunity to build confidence and technical precision.
At the core of the program is a practical, anatomy-driven approach. Attendees develop a deeper understanding of pelvic sidewall anatomy, ureteral identification, and retroperitoneal structures, while refining techniques essential for laparoscopic hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair, and the management of complex endometriosis. The curriculum is structured to translate directly into the operating room, equipping surgeons with techniques they can implement immediately in clinical practice.
What sets this workshop apart is its dynamic, rotation-based format, allowing participants to actively operate, assist, and observe—reinforcing both surgical anatomy and procedural flow from multiple perspectives. The course also addresses real-world challenges, including the management of difficult cases such as frozen pelvis and advanced prolapse, along with strategies to prevent and manage complications involving the bowel, bladder, and ureters.
In addition to its robust educational value, the workshop offers up to 17 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and meets ABOG Maintenance of Certification Part IV requirements for approved simulation training. For surgeons committed to elevating their skills while maintaining certification, this program delivers both meaningful education and measurable professional advancement. Register Now!
