The University of Western Australia’s 2022 Colorectal Surgery Workshops

Core Skills: Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Workshop on Thursday 25 August 2022 – Suitable for Service Registrars and Junior Trainees in General Surgery. It is highly recommended for participants to have laparoscopic and suturing experience, and as such is not suitable for Junior Doctors below the level of Service Registrar.
CTEC’s new Core Skills: Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Workshop is a cadaveric and animal tissue workshop aimed at providing Junior Trainees in General Surgery and Service Registrars with greater knowledge and increased skill in techniques in anastomosis and laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
It is designed as a progression from CTEC’s Core Skills: Introduction to Laparoscopic Skills workshop, and is most suitable for past participants of that workshop or similar laparoscopic surgery workshops. It is highly recommended for participants to have laparoscopic and suturing experience, and as such is not suitable for Junior Doctors below the level of Service Registrar.
The workshop aims to provide participants the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of more complex procedures in colorectal surgery, consolidated by practical benchtop and cadaveric sessions in laparoscopic colorectal surgical techniques and procedures. This educational activity will provide experience in procedures that participants may have received little exposure to in the clinical setting.

This cadaveric workshop will also feature case scenarios and discussions, whilst allowing sufficient time for practising skills in a supportive environment with a high faculty to participant ratio.
