About this Unit
This is an alternate unit in the Graduate Diploma in Advanced Gynaecological Surgery and Year 1 of the Master of Surgery (Advanced Gynaecological Surgery) course.
Students undertaking this unit are expected to have a working knowledge on port entry techniques at commencement. This unit will extend their knowledge in theoretical and practical aspects, focusing on the port entry techniques and strategies of port placement and management of port site complications.

By enrolling in this unit, the student will be expected to produce a detailed discussion on various aspects of minimally invasive port entry, exploring the pre-operative and intra-operative nuances of surgical planning and techniques. This will extend the student’s knowledge so they can safely and effectively establish port entry in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery.
