Selective admissions review
Clinical background is reviewed before confirmation, so the five-physician cohort remains aligned with the level and purpose of the programme.

Training Architecture
A Two-Day Masterclass Built Around Technique, Simulation and Theatre Exposure
The masterclass is structured as a compact clinical education sequence: selective admissions review, faculty-led surgical teaching, simulation practice and supervised operating room exposure.
Faculty-led hysterectomy logic
Didactic teaching focuses on relevant anatomy, patient selection, laparoscopic systems, operating room organisation and the safe stepwise logic of hysterectomy.
Simulation sequence
Simulation training supports camera control, instrument handling, energy use, tissue-plane awareness and procedural orientation before theatre exposure.
Operating room exposure
The final training day includes live surgery exposure within the confirmed hospital setting and the relevant clinical protocols.
Advanced Laparoscopic Sequence
From operative anatomy to stepwise hysterectomy technique
The masterclass frames laparoscopic hysterectomy around practical orientation: relevant anatomy, patient positioning, optical systems, energy use, vessel sealing, team organisation and complication awareness before operating room exposure.
Why This Programme
Small-Cohort Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Training with Direct Faculty Access
The programme is deliberately focused: a five-physician cohort, direct teaching by one senior surgeon-educator, and a sequence that moves from surgical principles into simulation practice and operating room learning.
Limited to five physicians
The cohort is kept small so each participant has meaningful faculty interaction across the didactic, simulation and operating room components.
Advanced laparoscopy sequence
Training covers laparoscopic access, visualisation systems, surgical hand instruments, vessel-sealing systems, electrosurgery and practical decision-making.
Hysterectomy-focused
Content is centred on laparoscopic hysterectomy, including patient positioning, team and equipment organisation, procedural steps and complication awareness.
Programme
Two Days of Focused Masterclass Training
The course runs across 5 and 6 September 2026. Day one focuses on didactic teaching and simulation; day two moves into operating room exposure and course evaluation.

Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ege University Faculty of Medicine
Specialist in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and IVF
Prof. Dr. Fatih Şendağ is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Ege University Faculty of Medicine and a specialist in obstetrics, gynaecology and IVF. His work has been closely associated with advanced gynaecologic endoscopy and minimally invasive surgical education in Turkey.
The Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Masterclass is built around direct teaching by Prof. Şendağ, with a deliberately small cohort of five physicians and a sequence moving from theory to simulation practice and operating room exposure.
- Documented work in advanced laparoscopic and single-port gynaecologic surgery
- Public professional record in structured gynaecologic endoscopy education
- Experience leading small-cohort gynaecologic endoscopy training
Who Should Attend
Designed for Physicians in Gynaecologic Surgery
Admission is selective. Applicants are asked to provide a CV, specialist qualification details and medical licence information so the programme office can review clinical fit before confirming a place.
- Specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology
- Physicians who have completed basic laparoscopy training
- Gynaecologic surgeons seeking structured hysterectomy-focused laparoscopic training
- Applicants with relevant operating room experience, reviewed case by case by the programme office

The programme is designed for licensed physicians in obstetrics and gynaecology, or physicians with a clearly relevant gynaecologic surgical background. Prior laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery exposure is expected.
How many physicians can attend?
The cohort is limited to five physicians so that teaching, simulation training and operating room exposure remain highly focused.
When is payment requested?
Payment is requested only after written acceptance. Programme fees are due in full no later than one month before the course date, and payment details are shared in writing after acceptance.
What does the fee include?
The £2,200 fee includes the two-day programme, two nights' accommodation, airport transfers, hospital-hotel transfers, two breakfasts, one lunch and two dinners. International flights, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.
