SURGERY 7001EX - Minimally Invasive Surgery Theory I

External - Quadmester 1 - 2017

Theory I Provides a thorough introduction into the history of minimally invasive surgery. Students will then investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information on a large range of theoretical and practical aspects of minimally invasive surgery including operating theatre design-endosuite standards, the anatomy of a trouble shooting for a laparoscopic tower, laparoscopes, visualisation systems and recording devices, electrosurgery, energy devices, harmonics, liasure and thunderbeat, plasma medicine, tissue approaximation, suture technique and staple technology.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    1 Understand the basis and relevance of the program and understand how
    continuous innovation in surgical technique and instrumentation has
    brought minimally invasive surgery to its current state.
    2 Appreciate the fundamentals about operating theatre design and endosuite
    standards for the future and predict how changing technology will
    influence operation theatre design.
    3 Demonstrate mastery in the anatomy of, and trouble shooting for, a
    laparoscopic tower and to have the skills and knowledge to correct
    malfunctions in the components of the laparoscopic tower.
    4 Demonstrate an understanding of laparoscopes, visualisation systems and recording devices used in minimally invasive surgery.
    5 Demonstrate the mastery of theoretical knowledge relating to electrosurgery in open and laparoscopic surgery.
    6 Understand the theoretical knowledge relating to energy devices:
    Harmonics, Ligasure and Thunderbeat that are available for dissection in
    laparoscopic surgery.
    7 Understand complex information regarding plasma medicine and how it can be applied to surgery, wound healing and sterilisation.
    8 Demonstrate knowledge on the tissue approximation suture technique and
    how to use the appropriate suture material for laparoscopic suturing and
    knots.
    9 Demonstrate an understanding in the history of the development of
    stapling devices and be familiar with the array of stapling devices that
    are available.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
