Bariatric surgery has caused a new boom in the field of laparoscopic indications. Is the approach justified ? Are all patients candidates ? Which operation must be chosen ? Participants will understand the several laparoscopic approaches of bariatric surgery, having the opportunity to view different live cases in the operating room : gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, and biliopancreatic diversion. Two courses will be only developed on reoperations (redo) for failed or complicated procedures.

​

Both endometrial and uterine cervical cancer can be treated by laparoscopy at their early stages. Surgical indications, general principles of laparoscopic surgery, and specific applications to gynaecologic oncolgy will be discussed during this course. These topics will be illustrated by live demonstrations.

​

Course objectives :

• selection of patients for surgery

• installation of the patient and surgical setting for complex procedures

• teaching pelvic anatomy and retroperitoneal dissection

• the use of different surgical energies

• new technologies applicable to complex gynecologic dissection (3D vision, image guided surgery)
