Lee, MD PROGRAM CO-CHAIR Arnaud Wattiez, MD Matthew T. Siedhoff, MD Sponsored by Advancing MinimallyAAGL Invasive Gynecology Worldwide Professional Education Information Target Audience This educational activity is developed to meet the needs of residents, fellows and new minimally invasive specialists in the field of gynecology. Accreditation AAGL is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The AAGL designates this live activity for a maximum of 3.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Lee, Chair Arnaud Wattiez, Co-Chair Faculty: Matthew T. Siedhoff Although anatomy and exposure are pillars of pelvic surgery, so is the ability to quickly formulate various strategic approaches when confronted with anticipated, as well as unexpected, surgical obstacles. The obliterated anterior cul-de-sac from previous cesarean deliveries and a frozen pelvis as a result of advanced endometriosis can both present very perplexing clinical conundrums. Similarly, broad ligament or cervical fibroids and ovarian remnants can present similar difficulties. In these challenging surgical scenarios, familiarity with several approaches to dissection and various strategies to optimize exposure will be necessary to ensure safe and effective outcome. Abundant surgical video footage will be used to illustrate the strategies and techniques necessary to overcome the difficulties associated with various anatomy-distorting pathologies. Participants of this course will apply safe and effective approaches to these challenging surgical scenarios that are evidence and experience based. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, the clinician will be able to: 1) Articulate techniques to achieve peritoneal access in patients with extensive anterior abdominal wall adhesions as well as techniques necessary to overcome difficulties associated with laparoscopy in obese patients; 2) formulate anatomy-based strategies when confronting various challenging surgical scenarios such as frozen pelvis, cervical fibroids and dense uterine adhesions; and 3) integrate various techniques to optimize exposure during complex pelvic surgeries.
