Office Hysteroscopy and Sterilization

 Day One This is an intensive and comprehensive introductory course focused on performing diagnostic/operative hysteroscopy in the office setting. The course is targeted towards the novice or those physicians familiar with diagnostic hysteroscopy who wish to enhance their basic hysteroscopy skills to incorporate operative procedures (e.g. permanent tubal sterilization) into their practice armamentarium. This how-to course offers practical pearls and extensive hands-on experience utilizing both inanimate and virtual reality computer simulators to duplicate a variety of common clinical scenarios the participant will encounter while performing office hysteroscopy. The program provides a level of practical knowledge and dexterity to perform office hysteroscopy with a great deal of safety.

 Day Two This venue is designed to augment the Office-Based Hysteroscopy, Day One course. The program is focused on the currently FDA approved methods for office-based hysteroscopic (transcervical) permanent sterilization procedures. The course provides the necessary clinical data, procedure considerations and post-procedure follow-up data along with extensive hands-on experience with exanimate and specially designed virtual reality simulators. This course venue provides an excellent “hit the ground running” platform for physicians who wish to perform minimally invasive tubal sterilization procedures in their office. The ultimate intention of the course is to maximize the take-home value of the participants regarding hysteroscopically delivered sterilization procedures along with knowledge of future developments and trends in this area.
