Surgical Surprises Video Session – When the Unexpected Happens
Submit your video for consideration in the program!

The Surgical Surprises Session will take place on Friday, September 9, 2022. This presentation of surgical videos is carefully curated to showcase unique events happening at surgery, and the recovery actions taken. The value of the presentations is enhanced by comments by an outstanding panel of experts and the audience who are viewing the videos simultaneously. All accepted videos will be presented in person by the author.

Videos should show an unexpected event or complication that occurred during surgery, followed by the corrective action taken to remedy it. During the session the video will be paused so that interaction with the expert panel and the audience occurs to discuss alternative options.

COURSES
at Louisiana State University (LSU)

(there is an additional fee to participate in the courses listed below)

(shuttle service between The Roosevelt Hotel and LSU – 6:45am – 4:30pm)

HANDS-ON COURSES:

Minilaparoscopy Hands-on Skills Course (8:00am – 12:00pm)
The application of new technologies to minimally invasive abdominal surgery has brought great interest in recent years. A new field of reduced port surgery has come into the surgical scene. Minilaparoscopy (Mini) has stood out as one of the more reproducible techniques amongst the different varieties of reduced port options due to its simplicity, enhanced dexterity, improved visualization, low cost and above all, safety. Less analgesic consumption due to less postoperative pain, early recovery and outstanding cosmesis are features that are hard to be equaled by other techniques. The surgeon must be familiarized with the rationale for this surgical alternative and the equipment needed in order to safely and properly apply the principles of Mini in clinical practice. Objectives: After this course the student will understand the basic principles and science behind Mini, and will be able to identify the instruments and specific surgical techniques to safely apply Mini in clinical scenarios. Participants will have an opportunity to develop basic skills necessary for incorporating Mini technologies in their surgical repertoire.

CO2 Laser MIS Surgery Skills Course (8:00am – 12:00pm)
This hands-on skills course is designed to give MIS Surgeons a focused educational experience in surgical laser techniques and a better understanding of the laser’s role within the surgical armamentarium. The course will uniquely focus on different surgical techniques and discuss advantages and limitations for each in various clinical scenarios in multiple disciplines.  Faculty will emphasize fundamental anatomy, microsurgical, and robotic dissection techniques. Didactic sessions will focus on minimally invasive approaches in both robotic and laparoscopic applications. Additionally, there will be a hands-on session with the Lumenis CO2 laser system. Objectives: Participants will learn the basic physics, safety and clinical applications of CO2 laser technology in MIS settings. Hand-on skills will focus on fiberoptic and free-hand applications of laser technology.

Suturing Skills Course-Advanced Laparoscopic Suturing – for the Gynecologist, Urologist, and General and Robotic Surgeon (12:30pm – 4:30pm)
Participants will learn the uses and limitations of laparoscopic suturing. Suturing with two hands ipsilaterally allows the needle to operate in the sagittal plane, while permitting a restful and relaxed attitude of the elbows, forearms and hands. This course equips all attendees with improved suturing skills and insight into applications during surgery. Objectives: Course participants will be better able to understand ergonomics, theory and rationale for reproducible and efficient laparoscopic suturing; learn port positions, instruments and tips to minimize fulcrum and maximize efficiency, perform interrupted suturing, continuous suturing, cinch knotting; apply learned skills in relevant surgical situations across specialties; and the prevention and management of bowel, bladder and ureteral complications by appropriate suture repair. A pre-test and post-test will demonstrate improvement in skills.

Mastering Tools and Techniques in Minimally Invasive Surgery (12:30pm – 4:30pm)
Surgical thinking and practice continues to evolve as our collective knowledge base and experience increase. Minimally invasive approaches have expanded the surgical armamentarium. Multiple energy modalities are available to the surgeon ranging from the traditional monopolar, bipolar to ultrasound and advanced tissue sealing bipolar devices. The differences between the energy sources will be described and compared. Participants will have an opportunity to use all of the different modalities and observe their effects. Techniques for safe removal of tissues and retrieval of specimens must be understood and mastered. Skill and indications for endoscopic stent placement for fistula and perforation management, the role of ureteral stents, the use of ICG fluorescence technologies, applications of surgical meshes and the use of suture assist devices will be highlighted. Objectives: Participants will understand the indications, contraindications, benefits and limitations of new techniques and technologies in MIS procedures. Participants will learn the proper technique for tissue extraction and specimen retrieval, the use of energy sources, stents, ICG fluorescence technologies, and the applications and limitations of these techniques in clinical practice, and more.

DIDACTIC MASTER COURSE:

Current Problems in General Surgery – Perspectives from the Experts (8:00am – 12:00pm)
Surgical thinking and practice continues to evolve as our collective knowledge base and experience increase. Minimally invasive approaches have expanded the surgical armamentarium. The choices of technique and technologies available for use are also expanding at a time when access to and use of technology must be reconciled against procedural costs and clinical outcomes. The applications, indications and limitations of laparoscopic and robotic solutions in bariatric surgery; endoscopic approaches to bariatrics, GI and advanced endoscopy; the development of stents for bowel anastomoses; interventional radiology and the removal of vena cava filters; and a discussion of NASH liver disease and its treatment will be addressed by a panel of experts. The work up, management algorithms, technical details and postoperative management will be highlighted. Objectives: By the end of the course, participants will:  Understand the indications, contraindications, benefits and limitations of endoscopic, laparoscopic and robotic surgical approaches in the management of conditions encountered in general surgical practice. The appropriate work up, treatment options and management algorithms, surgical techniques and postoperative management in managing obesity, NASH,  use of stents for bowel anastomoses, endoscopic approaches to GI conditions, and interventional radiologic approaches to manage vena cava filters and their removal.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

CONFERENCE EDUCATIONAL METHODS AND ATTENDEE OBJECTIVES

Minimally Invasive Surgery Week 2022, The Future of MIS, employs a variety of educational formats including topical general sessions, the presentation of scientific papers, open forums, posters, and original videos.

The increasing complexity of minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy requires a continuous educational process. The exchange of knowledge and expertise among the physicians taking part in this conference contributes to the continuation of excellence in minimally invasive surgery.

Upon completion of the conference, participants will be able to:

  • Increase comprehension of the basic and fundamental principles of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive techniques, enhancing the participant’s understanding of these techniques;
  • Understand the recent advances in laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive techniques;
  • Determine the appropriate use of laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive equipment as part of a treatment plan in the care of patients;
  • Comprehend the developing technologies that will be available in the future to enhance the standard of patient care; and
  • Acquire educational information within the physician’s specialty, which will enhance their professional development and patient care.
