Course Overview

This course is designed for Gynecologists who want to transform their surgical skill and confidence by developing the ability to reliably suture and tie knots laparoscopically.

Course Goals

1) Demonstrate complete and accurate assembly of cystoscope including irrigation setup.

2) Demonstrate safe introduction of cystoscope (male and female anatomy).

3) Demonstrate thorough evaluation of the entirety of endoluminal surface of bladder.

4) Demonstrate recognition of bladder cancer gross morphologies.

5) Demonstrate safe and effective simple biopsy procedure.

6) Demonstrate reproducible method/technique for identification of ureteric orifices.

7) Demonstrate Bilateral 5 Fr ureteral stent placement with guideware.

8) Demonstrate Bilateral 5 Fr ureteral stent placement with guidewire and injection of contrast agent for retrograde pyelogram or ICG.

9) Demonstrate Bilateral 6 Fr double J stent placement with stabilization of retrieval sutures.Course Schedule & Curriculum.
