Course Overview:
This reconstructive surgery course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding and practical skills in various urological and general surgical reconstruction techniques. The course will cover both theoretical knowledge and practical application, likely through a combination of lectures, case discussions, and hands-on simulated surgical training in a wet lab setting
Course Summary:
The course will delve into the principles and techniques of:
- Bladder Repair: after traumatic or iatrogenic injuries.
- Clam Cystoplasty: will cover indications, contra-indications, surgical steps, and potential complications of Clam Ileocystoplasty.
- Ureteric Reimplant: Different techniques for reimplantation will be discussed including indications, contraindications, complications and on-table decision making about appropriate surgical technique.
- Ileal Conduit: indications, contraindications and complications
- End-to-End Bowel Anastomosis: bowel handling, blood supply, and various anastomosis techniques to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand the indications and contraindications for each reconstructive procedure covered (bladder repair, clam cystoplasty, ureteric reimplant, ileal conduit, and end-to-end bowel anastomosis).
- Describe the anatomical considerations relevant to each surgical technique, including the bladder, ureters, small bowel, and their respective blood supplies.
- Outline the step-by-step surgical technique for performing bladder repair, clam cystoplasty, ureteric reimplant, ileal conduit creation, and end-to-end bowel anastomosis.
- Identify and manage potential intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with each reconstructive procedure.
- Apply principles of tissue handling, haemostasis, and sterile technique in the context of reconstructive surgery.
- Select appropriate surgical instruments and materials for each procedure.
- Develop understanding of principles of practical skills in performing these reconstructive techniques
- Critically evaluate patient cases to determine the most appropriate reconstructive approach.
- Discuss the long-term outcomes and follow-up care for patients undergoing these reconstructive procedures.
Target audience suitable for the course
- Late-stage urology trainees (ST5+) and consultant urologists seeking to master complex reconstructive techniques like bladder repair, cystoplasty, ureteric reimplant, and ileal conduit. The course is for those with existing surgical experience and a commitment to specialized reconstructive challenges.
