Course Overview
The day begins with a comprehensive anatomy lecture tailored to the challenges of deep infiltrating endometriosis. Participants will then observe a live robotic procedure performed by leading surgeons renowned for their expertise in complex endometriosis surgery.
During the lunch session, faculty will provide lectures on current medical and surgical management strategies. Topics include:
- Surgical approaches to deep infiltrating disease
- Management of ovarian endometriomas
- Rectal endometriosis
- Bladder and ureteral involvement
- Diaphragmatic endometriosis
In the afternoon, participants will observe a second live robotic operation, offering further insight into surgical decision‑making, anatomical navigation, and advanced techniques used in challenging cases.
The course concludes with a summary session and opportunity for discussion with the faculty.
