Pre-Konferans Workshop

Course Name: Obstetric Anal Sphincter Repair: Theory and Hands-on Simulation

Objective:
The aim of this training is to provide participants with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the early diagnosis, accurate classification, and effective repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) using appropriate surgical techniques. The goal is to increase participants' knowledge of anal sphincter anatomy, obstetric risk factors, injury types, and repair principles; and to improve their clinical application skills by experiencing appropriate suture techniques and surgical approaches in a safe environment through simulation-based hands-on applications. Objective:

At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the anatomical basis of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) and the functions of the pelvic floor structures.
2. Recognize the risk factors and clinical findings for obstetric anal sphincter injuries.
3. Accurately classify perineal tears and diagnose OASIS in a timely manner.
4. Explain the basic surgical principles and suture techniques used in anal sphincter repair.
5. Apply external and internal anal sphincter repair techniques in a simulation environment.
6. Plan the postoperative care and follow-up principles for obstetric anal sphincter injuries.
7. Identify possible complications and determine appropriate management strategies.
