About this Unit
This is an alternate unit in Year 2 of the Master of Surgery (Advanced Gynaecological Surgery) course.
Endometriosis commonly presents with pelvic pain and infertility, with gynaecological surgery being a significant treatment option. Surgery in women with endometriosis can be challenging, with gynaecological surgeons requiring advanced training and a multi-disciplinary approach to obtain the best patient outcomes.
This unit will provide the students with the opportunity to explore management aspects of endometriosis tailoring treatment options depending on the patient’s symptoms and goals.
By enrolling in this unit, the student will be expected to produce a detailed discussion on various aspects of endometriosis, focusing on minimally invasive techniques. This includes exploring the pre-operative rationale to perform surgery, intra-operative nuances of surgical techniques used and post-operative care of importance to ensure the best outcomes for the patient.
