About this Unit
This is an alternate unit in Year 2 of the Master of Surgery (Advanced Gynaecological Surgery) course.
The performance of Adnexal Surgery and the ability to avoid complications is paramount in order to produce a safe environment for the patient. The ability to diagnose and successfully manage complications, should they occur, is a necessary part of every surgeon’s makeup. The preoperative assessment of adnexal masses is to be considered, with data provided to help avoid the inadvertent operation on malignant lesions by the generalist.
This unit will allow the student to explore various aspects of adnexal surgery and review evidence in the literature to support any conclusions made by the student.
