Webinar Information

The webinar will feature 3 presentations:

The first will be from Dr Jubilee Brown, current president of the AAGL and with whom spoke at our AGES ASM in Perth in 2019. The United States has seen a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, therefore Jubilee can offer significant insight from her experience. Dr Brown will be addressing a number of issues including the safety of surgery, most specifically MIS in COVID-19 cases.

The second presenters include Dr Belinda Lowe, Dr Rebecca Szabo and Prof Victoria Brazil, simulation experts from Melbourne and the Gold Coast. Dr Belinda Lowe, RANZCOG Fellow, Dr Rebecca Szabo (speaker at the AGES ASM 2020), RANZCOG fellow and Prof Victoria Brazil (also a speaker at the AGES ASM 2020) is an ACEM fellow. All are simulation experts and they will run through a scenario of donning and doffing PPE and theatre preparedness for gynae emergencies with COVID-19 so we can best protect ourselves during surgery.

Our last speaker of the evening is Julie O’Reilly from William Buck. Julie will walk you through the government assistance for practices during this time, and help you understand the financial assistance policies that will keep you running.

Below are the details of the Webinar and how to register. Once you have registered, more information will be sent to you with instructions on how to access the live webinar on the evening.

AGES Advanced Lap-Dissection Workshop - (POSTPONED) TBC*
2020-04-05 07:30 - 17:30 | MERF Brisbane, Staib Road, Chermside, QLD, 4032, Australia
This course has been postponed with no date set at this time. We will be updating this page with any new information.

The Advanced Lap D Workshop is designed for Specialist Gynaecologists with advanced laparoscopic training who wish to:

Expand their knowledge of pelvic, abdominal and retroperitoneal anatomyHone their laparoscopic surgical dissection and teaching skills.

There will be a particular focus on identification of the pelvic nerves and nerve sparing surgical techniques.

Hands-on laparoscopic dissection sessions utilising fresh frozen, female donors follow the relevant anatomical lecture series.

The
workshops are held at the Medical Engineering and Research Facility
(MERF), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) facility in Brisbane.

Three
participants are assigned to each donor and will be closely supervised
by an experienced advanced laparoscopic surgical instructor. Each
participant will have the opportunity to operate, assist and observe to
optimise the learning experience as they rotate evenly through each
step.

The course focuses on the approaches to dissection of the
pelvic sidewall with a particular emphasis on the surgical layers and
surgical spaces and the anatomical structures contained within them.
Retroperitoneal spaces around the bladder, pelvic floor, large bowel and
kidneys are all explored. There is a particular focus on identification
of the pelvic nerves and nerve sparing surgical techniques.

The anatomy of the diaphragm and surgical approaches to resection of diaphragmatic endometriosis is covered.

All
participants are provided with pre-reading and copies of the
presentations a week prior to the workshop. Registrants are expected to
confidently increase their anatomical knowledge and awareness, allowing
for improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications for their
patients.
