WS-03: Workshop: Laparascopy for Beginners  

Co-Chair: Gabriela Caballero, Mexico / Ishwar Ram Dhayal, India
Faculty: M Gopichand, India / NItesh Jain, India / Vijay Radhakrishnan, India
 

Programme Description:

This hands-on workshop course is intended for the urologist who wants to gain knowledge on and develop fundamental laparoscopic skills. Participants will use a laparoscopic trainer to become familiar with laparoscopic equipment and practice basic dexterity using laparoscopic instrumentation. Over this 120-minute session, participants will take part in hands-on tasks of increasing difficulty and complexity to develop the basic motor skills required for laparoscopic surgery.

 

This laparoscopy workshop for beginners will start with an introduction to the laparoscopic simulators and other instruments, allowing participants to familiarize with all workshop equipment. This will be followed by a series of 4 tasks, each focusing on one laparoscopic skill: peg transfer, cutting the circles, needle driving, and suturing. Each task will be led by a faculty, with the assistance of 1 laparoscopic trainer. This workshop is planned include at least 6 laparoscopic trainers in order to accommodate up to 12 participants. Participants will be divided in groups of 2 per laparoscopic trainer/faculty for a ratio of 2:1. The number of participants may be revised depending on the number of laparoscopic trainers available

 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, the participants should be able to

  • Identify constituents of a laparoscopic stack
  • Name commonly used laparoscopic instruments
  • Carry out basic laparoscopic exercises using a laparoscopic trainer
  • Develop basic motor skills for laparoscopic suturing, including: coordinating proper needle angle and movement, placing the trocars to facilitate the suture, suturing in different planes, and practicing knotting technique
