A Hands-On Cadaver
Workshop for Laparoscopic
Surgeons
Objectives
The workshop is designed to provide
and enhance the laparoscopic surgeon’s
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:

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

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.

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.
