Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy Live porcine model Hands-on EMR and ESD workshop

September 23 – 23, 2013
Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Together with EAGEN, ESGE will join forces to hold a hands-on course on live porcine models.

Both EMR and ESD techniques are increasingly practiced in Europe with a growing need for intensive individual training. This workshop features a training program to master endoscopic mucosal resections and submucosal dissections in a realistic setting using a live porcine model that also includes the management of potential complications like bleedings and perforations. In this two days course participants will actively practice all procedures under the guidance of an international faculty consisting of renowned experts in the field.

An educational grant is being provided by UEG for this workshop.
