Workshop Design

1
Workshop Design Objectives The workshop is
designed to provide and enhance the laparoscopic
surgeons knowledge of reduced port / single port
access surgery. Course attendees will
participate in didactic and hands-on sessions to
facilitate this working knowledge. At the
conclusion of the course, the participant will
have a broad understanding of the following
approaches as they relate to - Adoption of
reduced port techniques (including single port
access surgery) - Techniques of accessing the
abdomen for reduced port surgery - Reduced
port/single port access cholecystectomy - An
understanding of the safety and applications of
reduced port surgery Design This is a single
day, hands-on workshop. For the didactic course,
the facility has state-of-the-art audio/visual
equipment. For the hands on training, there will
be 4 cadaver stations each with its own video
tower. There will be two to three participants at
each of the four stations.

Course Director Jamie Loggins, MD, FACS Chief of
Surgery, Central Maine Medical Center Medical
Director, Central Maine Bariatric Surgery Dr.
Loggins is a general surgeon who specializes in
Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery. Before
beginning his work at CMMC, Dr. Loggins completed
a fellowship in minimally invasive and robotic
surgery at the University of California Davis
Medical Center in Sacramento, California. Dr.
Loggins earned his medical degree at Northwestern
University Medical School in Chicago. Dr. Loggins
began performing reduced port/single port surgery
in 2007 and has performed Single Port operations
on a wide range of patients, including those
suffering from morbid obesity. Guest
Instructor Paul G Curcillo II, MD, FACS Vice
Chairman, Dept of Surgery Director, Robotic
Minimal Access Surgery Drexel University
College of Medicine, Philadelphia (pgc_at_curcillo.co
m) In 2001, Dr. Curcillo developed and published
a two port technique for laparoscopic ventral
hernia repair. Performing over 200 cases with
this technique, he applied the principles of
reduced port surgery to other procedures as well.
Continuing the move to reducing port sites for
Minimal Access Surgery, in April 2007, Dr.
Curcillo, along with Dr. Stephanie King,
developed and performed the first Single Port
Access (SPA) surgical procedures. The first SPA
cholecystectomy was done in May 2007. Since
then, Drs. Curcillo and King have performed over
300 SPA procedures using all standard
instrumentation. Dr. Curcillo has developed a
step-wise training approach for surgeons to
work their way toward Single Port Access surgery
safely, with confidence and at less costs than
multiport surgery. Using this technique, he has
run training symposiums for SPA surgery
throughout the world, and has successfully
trained many surgeons on this novel technique.
