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

 Dear colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we announce a series of live porcine hands-on EMR and ESD workshops in the Erasmus Endoscopy Training Center at the SkillsLab of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. Both EMR and ESD techniques are increasingly practiced in Europe with a growing need for intensive individual training. In this workshop we have developed 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 a two days course participants will actively practice all procedures under guidance of an international faculty consisting of renowned experts in the field. The number of participants is limited to allow for an optimal exposure to all steps of the procedures. We hope that this unique workshop will serve the need for advanced training in this exciting and developing area of interventional endoscopy and look forward to welcome you in Rotterdam!
