Introduction to Laparoscopic Gynaecologic Surgery

Master the essentials of laparoscopic surgery in this hands-on, immersive 1-day course designed for OBGYN trainees and professionals.

Kick off with engaging pre-course e-learning modules (5-minute videos) covering key principles, equipment, and theatre considerations to prepare you for practical success.

Who is this course for? 

This 1 day intensive course is for doctors of any grade interested in building an excellent base in laparoscopic surgical skills, with a specific focus on obstetric and gynaecology. This course is suitable for grades from medical student to ST4.

What will I learn?

This course will take you through the basic principles of laparoscopic surgery, build your foundation in basic skills, progressing through the EMIGS curriculum and get theatre-ready with high volume, high-fidelity procedural simulation training.

Why should I do this course?

Take advantage of the latest technology-enhanced training methodology to progress your skills faster than ever before. We will work towards EMIGS accreditation sign off and all videos, assessments and metrics will be stored on your Totum profile where you will be able to access this for a full year’s complimentary subscription.

On the day:

Module 1:

Build a strong foundation with basic laparoscopic skills, including suturing and EMIGS task-based metric tracking.

Module 2:

Elevate your procedural skills with focused training on pelvic sidewall dissection and salpingostomy, featuring live practice, video reviews, and expert-led masterclasses.

Module 3:

Advance to salpingectomy procedures using cutting-edge augmented reality simulators with performance tracking and video analysis.

Refine your skills through continuous reflection, metrics-based improvement, and expert facilitation. By the end, you’ll gain confidence in laparoscopic techniques and core gynaecological procedures, preparing you for real-world surgical challenges and make strides towards EMIGS sign off.
