About this Event
Pelvic Anatomy: Open Hysterectomy, Revision Course -Prosection-Based Training
Join us for an exciting event on 9th September 2026 at Keele University. Get ready to dive deep into pelvic anatomy with our prosection-based training. It's going to be an informative and hands-on session in prosection lab that you won't want to miss!
With declining exposure to open surgery, this course focuses on practical skills using prosections, including step-by-step technique and complication management.
Why this course matters?
Opportunities to gain understanding and experience in open hysterectomy are increasingly limited. This course is designed to help bridge that gap and support trainees in developing essential surgical confidence.
What makes this course different?
- Dedicated teaching on open hysterectomy (step-by-step approach)
- Hands-on learning using prosections
- Small group teaching for maximum interaction
- Focus on real-world surgical decision making
What you will learn?
- Surgical anatomy relevant to pelvis and open hysterectomy
- Safe entry, dissection and operative steps
- Identification and protection of key structures (ureter, bladder, vessels)
- Strategies for avoiding and managing complications
- Practical tips you can immediately apply in theatre
Who should attend?
- ST3–ST7 O&G trainees
- CESR candidates
- Junior consultants seeking to strengthen open surgical skills
