This webinar is a trainee session that will highlight how to manage acute intra-operative emergencies, and the principles and practice of assessing and managing VVF.

During this session you will learn:

Build upon basic knowledge of safety in theatre
Identify potential risks in order to avoid major complications of robotic and laparoscopic urological surgery
How to recognise intraoperative complications of robotic and laparoscopic urological surgery
Explain how to manage major complications of robotic and laparoscopic urological surgery including, but not limited to; vascular, bowel, solid organ injury during port placement
Vascular, bowel, solid organ injury due to diathermy, harmonic instrument heat
Anaesthetic and cardiovascular complications including neurological, thrombotic, pulmonary, compartment syndrome risks
Develop skills in the assessment of vesico-vaginal fistulae
Acquire knowledge in the aetiology, pathophysiology and complications of vesico-vaginal fistulae
Determine the appropriate management of vesico-vaginal fistulae including, but not limited to; the timing of repair, consideration of other injuries e.g. ureteric, vaginal repair, robotic repair, tissue interposition, and urinary diversion

A certificate of attendance and CPD certificate with 1 CPD credit will be issued to those joining the webinar live.
