Laparoscopic Surgery Seminar in Chambers

On Wednesday the 26th May 2010 Prof. Edward Shaxted led a team of obstetric and gynaecology surgeons in a demonstration of laparoscopic surgical techniques.

Over 30 solicitors joined with members of chambers in an invaluable learning experience. The morning session consisted of demonstrations of the component parts of the laparoscopic stack system; laparoscopic entry techniques and lectures on its use in ectopic pregnancies and in endometriosis.

The afternoon consisted of a series of ‘hands on’ workshops when the lawyers’ lack of practical skills became evident. However, one or two demonstrated that if they get tired with law there may be another career open to them.

Leslie Keegan, the course organiser, expressed chambers great appreciation to Professor Shaxted, Mr. Wesley Mc Culough, Mr. Patrick Bose and Ms Gill Smith who not only demonstrated great skill and patience but who gave up their very valuable time for free and made learning a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Profits from the course were donated to Baby Lifeline.
