Laparoscopic
Hysterectomy
Workshop Programme
The
morning of the workshop is spent covering the theoretical
aspects of LAVH, with a major emphasis on techniques
for efficient haemostasis. We consider electrosurgery
to be an important component of the procedure, and
it is important that the principles of safe and efficient
electrosurgery are understood. We also believe the
the ability to suture laparoscopically is integral
to safe and effective surgery. There will be the opportunity
to practice some of these techniques on models before
the afternoon session in the operating theatre.
