Webinar Description: This robotic webinar is designed to instruct robotic surgical management of 3 gynecologic disorders, isthmocele, management of myoma, and management of robotic hysterectomy without the uterine manipulator. The course will define and diagnosis of isthmocele and review symptoms and association with infertility. It will provide a comprehensive pre-op work-up for myoma, incorporating the necessary images to evaluate the condition, and review the anatomy and surgical steps that are required to perform the necessary robotic procedure successfully for myomectomy and isthmocele. It will also instill how to incorporate the “4th arm” as part of the surgical repertoire when performing a robotic surgical procedure for efficiency. Finally, the course will introduce tips and tricks of surgical robotic surgical management for isthmocele, myoma, and hysterectomy without the use of a uterine manipulator.
Course Objectives:
1. Define, and review symptoms and diagnosis of isthmocele.
2. Comprehensive preoperative work-up for myomectomy and isthmocele.
3. Utilization of preoperative imaging in evaluating condition: Myoma and isthmocele.
4. Review of retroperitoneal anatomy and controlling of blood supply to minimize blood loss in myomectomy.
5. Demonstrate the surgical steps in performing an isthmocele repair and tips and tricks of how to use the 4th arm without the uterine manipulator during a robotic hysterectomy.
