Webinar: Things You Always Wanted to Know About Minimal Access Surgery (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Recorded: 27th May, 2021
Language: English
Description: Minimal access surgery contributes towards the improvement of the quality of life of patients who must undergo gynecological surgery. Unfortunately, many patients end up undergoing open surgery and there remain multiple barriers to their care. This webinar aims to provide tools to allow healthcare providers to offer their patients less invasive surgical options in a safe and feasible manner.
The webinar is organised by the FIGO Committee on Minimal Access Surgery, in collaboration with SAFOG (South Asian Federation of Obsterics and Gynecology) and GESB (Gynecological Endoscopic Society of Bangladesh)
