Safety and quality of reproductive surgery in the era of ART

Precongress Course 9

 SIG Reproductive Surgery  Special Interest Group Reproductive Surgery


Course coordinator
Attila Vereczkey (Hungary)

Course type:  Advanced


Course description
This course provides an in-depth exploration of surgical techniques and decision-making in reproductive surgery within the context of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Leading experts will present evidence-based approaches to common surgical challenges, such as endometriosis, fibroids, isthmocele, and uterine anomalies, with a focus on optimising fertility outcomes while ensuring patient safety and maintaining high-quality standards.

 

Educational needs and expected outcomes 
The course content was developed, based on ESHRE guidelines, recent literature, and surgical outcome data.

Sessions covered:

  • Endometriosis and ovarian reserve – balancing disease control with fertility preservation
  • Fibroid surgery – minimally invasive approaches
  • Uterine anomalies and niche repair – optimising anatomy for implantation
  • Advanced imaging – improving surgical planning
  • Surgical excellence – integrating innovation with quality and safety standards

 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Select appropriate surgical strategies for managing endometriosis, fibroids, uterine anomalies, and isthmocele in infertility cases
  • Evaluate and implement safety protocols in reproductive surgery
  • Integrate imaging and diagnostic techniques into surgical planning
  • Compare the outcomes of different surgical modalities for fertility preservation
  • Critically assess emerging technologies and innovations in reproductive surgery

 

Innovative aspects of the course:

  • Comprehensive integration of imaging in surgical decision-making
  • Comparative evaluation of traditional vs. novel techniques by international experts
  • Focus on both safety and quality metrics in reproductive surgery
  • The course concludes with presentations by two of the leading experts in the field, whose internationally recognised expertise aims to engage a wide and diverse audience.

 

Target audience
Reproductive surgeons, Gynaecologists with an interest in infertility surgery, ART specialists, Fellows and residents in reproductive medicine and surgery, Endometriosis specialists, Urologists, Oncogynaecologists
