This is a newly developed 2 day Laparoscopic Urogynaecology Course using human cadavers embalmed with Thiel technology. Laparoscopic Courses in other specialities at our centre using Thiel's cadavers have been very successful and are in high demand. The operative programme will cover advanced laparoscopic skills including laparoscopic suturing skills, extracorporeal knotting techniques before practicing a wide range of apical support techniques including laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy, laparo-scopic cervicopectopexy, laparoscopic paravaginal repair and the very new in UK laparoscopic pectopexy with a new type of mesh material– DynaMesh. A ratio of 1:2 per cadaver. There will be good opportunity to interact with experts with a ratio of 1:2.
This 2 day unique, intensive course is aimed at Consultants and Senior registrars (ST6-7) with interest in Urogynaecology who have already achieved some competency in gynaecological laparoscopy.
Programme Includes:
Ergonomics for laparoscopy in urogynaecology
Laparoscopic suturing
Extracorporeal knotting techniques
Laparoscopic suturing for Burch/paravaginal repair
Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy
Laparoscopic sarocolpo/cervicopexy

The University of Dundee is currently the leading centre in the UK using Thiel embalmed cadavers, thanks to the pioneering work of its Centre of Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID.)
