A master class for gynecologists began today at the medical university.

It is conducted by leading Russian specialists in the field of operative gynecology. For two days they will give lectures and perform operations with online television broadcast. Doctors from almost all regions of Siberia came to Tomsk to participate in the conference. “And this is what we find in the patient, what is the advantage of this method of hysteroscopy... You see in the area of ??this department there is a polyp, which we will then remove in the end,” - this patient has suspected infertility. Gynecologists can now diagnose and eliminate its possible cause within a couple of hours. Moreover, there will be almost no consequences of surgical intervention. In just a couple of hours, the woman can go home. The new technique of transvaginal endoscopy makes it possible to perform such operations both in the perinatal center and in a regular antenatal clinic. Laura Kappusheva, head of the department. Department of Operative Gynecology, Center for Family and Rural Life (Moscow): “In order to help this large army of patients—infertile couples—we needed a technique that would be widely implemented not only in hospitals or large clinics, but also in outpatient settings.” Doctors call this technique relatively new. In the West, it has been used for about 10 years. In Russia, only 3 years, mainly in the capital. However, according to doctors, this new word in science and technology is quite accessible to regional clinics as well. If you have endoscopic equipment, you only need to buy a small set of additional instruments. It is not that expensive. And such demonstration operations help to learn how to use it. Alexander Popov, Head of the Department of Endoscopic Surgery, Moscow Research Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Moscow): “There is no need for the doctor to be in the operating room personally. It is enough to have this opportunity: firstly, live surgery and views on it. And secondly, very importantly: a question-and-answer session, a direct discussion during the operation. It allows us to resolve many issues that accumulate over a year of active work during the discussion." Participation in the conference is free for doctors, the doctors emphasize. The same applies to the operations for patients. Source: tv2.tomsk.ru
