Esagon Theory and live surgery week
14 - 17 Nov 2011
IEO European Institute of Oncology, Milan, Italy
THe IEO are going to close the first Esagon Biennial Course with the fourth theory and live surgery week. Last year the main topic was ovarian cancer. This year the IEO has dedicated a week to cervical cancer and is now going to talk about pelvic recurrences, an extremely complicated topic. As is tradition, one day will be open to a wider audience, not only to the Biennial Course participants.
The goal is to discuss in depth the anatomy, the surgical difficulties, the diagnosis, and the treatment modalities of pelvic recurrences. Difficult surgery, with many complications and surgical risks, where both the skill of surgeon and the support of a multidisciplinary team/institution do make a difference in the patient’s outcome.
We can learn treatment indications, suggestions, and techniques from highly experienced surgeons and, in particular, we will learn clinical evaluation. There is no other operation that is so mutilating as pelvic exenteration, no other surgery can be so devastating for the female body image. We have to know how to prepare our patients both physically and psychologically.
Not only do we have to know the demolitive aspects but also how to restore what the surgeon has removed. If we want to perform this type of surgery, we necessarily have to familiarize with continent and incontinent reservoirs, neovagina, myocutaneous flaps, and so on. Last but not least, we must be able to deal with all possible complications. Fortunately, we will have a renowned international panel of speakers to tackle this crucial topic, so don’t miss this unique opportunity!
The Monday course is open to all pelvic surgeons: gynaecologists, urologists, and general surgeons.
Registration fees covers the Monday course and a password to access the whole program on demand. Should you not be able to attend, you can follow the Monday course online plus the whole program on demand after the meeting. Be connected and interactive with us so that you can be part of the Esagon network!
Obviously, we all know that pelvic exenteration is not for all surgeons, but during the course we are going to talk about anatomy of the pelvic floor, the anatomy of the side pelvic wall, how to treat neurological, vascular, urinary and bowel injuries, and many other surgical principles applicable also to other surgical approaches.
