As new surgical techniques continue to evolve, the use of flexible endoscopy is becoming increasingly important for surgeons. Modern digestive surgery needs leaders with well-defined endoscopic skills. This hands-on EAES course presents a unique opportunity to learn the basic skills required to form a foundation in the practice of flexible endoscopy and to be exposed to cutting-edge techniques such as ESD, POEM and endoscopic suturing.
A Program Designed for Surgeons Looking to Master Flexible Endoscopy
Basic and advanced flexible endoscopic techniques will be taught by experienced endoscopic surgeons. Key endoscopic procedures will be learned in a structured way, under the mentorship of world leaders in the field, with access to the latest technologies and techniques:
- Endoscopic management of common surgical complications (bleeding, perforation, fistula, stenosis…).
- Endoscopic resection techniques: EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection), ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and FTDR (treatment of digestive fistulas).
- Submucosal tunnelling techniques to treat achalasia, submucosal tumours and gastroparesis: POEM (endoscopic peroral myotomy), POP (endoscopic peroral pyloroplasty), STER (endoscopic submucosal tunnelling resection).
- Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and suturing techniques for morbid obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Learning Objectives
On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the value and indications of preoperative endoscopy.
- Become familiar with the endoscopic management of common complications of gastrointestinal surgery such as bleeding, perforations, leaks and fistula.
- Understand the indications and basic steps of EMR, ESD and POEM in a controlled, supervised setting.
- Become familiar with endoscopic suturing techniques for morbid obesity and GERD.
- Understand the indications and basic steps of ERCP and biliary endoscopy.
