Track: Minimally Invasive Surgery
The Minimally Invasive Surgery session will focus on the latest advancements, techniques, and benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) approaches in gynecology. This session will explore how these techniques are revolutionizing the field by offering safer, more efficient, and patient-friendly alternatives to traditional open surgeries. It gives an Introduction to the principles of minimally invasive surgery in gynecology, including the various approaches such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and robotic-assisted surgery. The session will highlight how these techniques have transformed the treatment of common gynecological conditions.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Detailed discussions on the use of laparoscopy for procedures such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, and treatment of endometriosis. The session will cover the technical aspects, patient selection criteria, and the advantages of laparoscopy, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
Hysteroscopic Surgery: Exploration of hysteroscopic techniques for diagnosing and treating intrauterine pathologies, including polyps, fibroids, and congenital anomalies. The session will emphasize the benefits of hysteroscopy as a minimally invasive option for managing uterine conditions without the need for external incisions.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Examination of the role of robotic-assisted surgery in gynecology, particularly for complex procedures such as radical hysterectomy and deep endometriosis excision. The session will discuss the enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization offered by robotic systems, as well as the learning curve and cost considerations.
Advances in Surgical Instrumentation: Presentation of the latest innovations in surgical instruments and technologies that support minimally invasive surgery, such as advanced energy devices, miniaturized cameras, and 3D imaging systems. The session will explore how these tools are improving surgical outcomes and expanding the possibilities of MIS.
Challenges and Limitations: Exploration of the challenges associated with minimally invasive surgery, including the potential for longer operative times, the need for specialized equipment, and the difficulties in managing complex cases. The session will provide strategies for overcoming these challenges and optimizing surgical outcomes.
