Enhanced Recovery
Programme. Since 2002, the laparoscopic unit at Yeovil District Hospital have implemented an enhanced recovery programme for their patients. This has produced
excellent results with a
shortened post-operative stay and a very low re-admission rate. The faculty now hold regular
courses in the Yeovil Academy
to share their expertise with a wider audience.
The benefits of enhanced recovery for orthopaedic surgery will be covered in a specially designed workshop in November 2008. For more information click here. |

| Laparoscopic Ultrasound for Cholecystectomy Course. The use of laparoscopic ultrasound for detection of biliary calculi has been shown to be more accurate at detecting biliary calculi with higher sensitivity and fewer false positives than operative cholangiography, in experienced hands. In addition, it is safer than operative cholangiogram for patients and the OR team and provides a reduction in theatre time, thus incurring a demonstrable cost saving. This one day workshop will combine live operative demonstrations with seminars to cover interpretation of ultrasound images and tips for use in biliary surgery.
