Structured Operative Obstetrics (SOO)
Initial Release: 2008
Publisher: Canadian Network for International Surgery
Instructors Manual (First Edition, 2008)
Shortage of trained personnel in many African countries means that often women can not get the care that they need during labour and delivery. This is a major factor in the high maternal mortality rate. Structured training of surgical skills will reinforce good surgical technique, and therefore help with significant health human resource challenges
Introduction to Cesarean Section Course
Please be aware that this is a pre-release of the First Edition of our Structured Operative Obstetrics course book. While the content of this course is complete, there may be changes and updates prior to the official First Edition release, which will be completed later in 2008.
Structured Hernia Repair Course
Initial Release: 2005
Publisher: Canadian Network for International Surgery
Instructors Manual (First Edition, 2005):
The Structured Hernia Repair Course Instructors Manual is part of the Canadian Network for International Surgery’s surgical course and training manuals, using didactic material including lectures and interactive teaching sessions, progresses to surgical simulation, and then continues to clinical instruction with patients. The learner, under supervision of a specials surgeon, operates on patients in the operating room. Because of this structured approach, the learning experience of all participants is guaranteed, thus assuring consistent education and gender equality.
