The Pelvic Anatomy Expo 2024 emerges as a pivotal event, engineered to meet the growing demand for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange within the realm of pelvic surgery. Spanning six days, the Expo orchestrates a series of five meticulously designed didactic and hands-on cadaver workshops. These sessions are conducted by globally acknowledged experts, specializing in pelvic neuroanatomy, to foster a comprehensive understanding and technical proficiency among attendees.
Central to the Expo’s ethos is the progression model of surgical education it advocates. Dr. Nucelio Lemos, reflecting on the evolution of the Pelvic Neuroanatomy course over nine years, notes, “our relentless pursuit of excellence, informed by participant feedback, has culminated in a curriculum that not only addresses diverse anatomical and procedural complexities but also adapts to the evolving needs of returning attendees.” This feedback loop has been instrumental in broadening the course offerings, ensuring a tailored educational journey for each surgeon.
This year, the Expo proudly introduces the English version of the Advanced Anatomy and Surgical Techniques for the Management of Deeply Infiltrating Endometriosis workshop, a significant expansion responding to the enthusiastic requests from our English-speaking participants. This pivotal session aims to advance gynecologic surgeons’ expertise in tackling complex endometriosis, focusing on mastering nerve-sparing techniques and addressing the intricate challenges of diaphragmatic, bowel, and ureteric endometriosis. Through a blend of didactic learning and practical, hands-on experience in the cadaver lab, participants will gain invaluable skills and insights into optimizing patient outcomes in these complex cases.
The Expo also proudly presents the 3rd Annual Fundamentals of Advanced Gynecology Surgery workshop in Spanish, laying the foundational knowledge essential for advanced pelvic surgery. Furthermore, the 7th Hands-On Advanced Neuroanatomy of the Pelvis course, offered in English, caters to the advanced learning needs of Gynecologic, Urologic, and Colorectal Surgeons. This course seamlessly integrates with the multidisciplinary didactic and hands-on cadaver course, focusing on the pelvic, hip, spine, and core neuroanatomy. This unique setup encourages a dynamic exchange of perspectives on neuropathic pain and surgical techniques across specialties.
The advancements in retroperitoneal laparoscopic techniques underscore the Expo’s commitment to pioneering surgical education. This approach has not only optimized surgical outcomes but also fostered a culture of cross-specialty collaboration, bridging gynecologists, colorectal surgeons, urologists, and surgeons from related fields.
Hosted at the Practical Anatomy and Surgical Education Center, the Pelvic Anatomy Expo 2024 is set to offer an immersive educational experience in a state-of-the-art environment. This convergence of expertise and innovation is poised to push the boundaries of pelvic surgery, enhancing patient care through improved surgical precision and outcomes.
Live dissections have three screens: one showing the laparoscopic image, one outside camera and a third has didactic anatomy schemes presented by a third faculty in simulcast.
“The policy of only two attendants per station ensures that every attendant makes the most of their time, practicing all of the proposed dissections, as opposed to doing some and only observing others, which happens in cadaver labs where three or more share the same specimen,” emphasizes Jonathon Solnik, workshop Co-Director.
Cadaver lab: With only two attendants per station and two faculty members per three stations, the learning experience is maximized.
