SUMMARY:Multi-Level CTO Endovascular Course 2023
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Level CTO Endovascular Course 2023\nWhen: 04-06/05/2023 (3-days congress)\nWhere: The Hotel (Waterloolaan 38\, 1000 Brussels\, Belgium)\nLanguage: English\nPrice: 50%-OFF for BAST-members for 2-days or 3-days congress (drinks & lunches inclusive).\nRequirements for participation: BAST-membership 2023 to have half-price on registration.\nTake a free ticket on the website and the reduction code will be send to you by e-mail. \nExtra: Official diner at cost of 60\,00€\nPlaces: Unlimited\nRegistrations Open: Soon\nRegistrations Close: 06/05/2023 \nMore information:\nFor more information & registration\, click here. \nAbout the congress:\nWe conceived the Multi-Level CTO Endovascular Course to bring together a multidisciplinary group of vascular specialists from Europe and Middle East to engage in the highest standard educational format with a spirit of collegiality and inclusion. \n\n\n\nThis three-day course will focus on the latest advances and techniques in endovascular chronic total occlusion revascularization. Our program\, thought and realized in collaboration with our European Expert Committee\, is made up of recorded case-based discussions\, numerous live case transmissions\, from Clinique Pasteur Nancy\, Munich University hospital and AZ Sint-Blasius Dendermonde\, plenty of “tips & tricks” sharing and practical talks about CTO recanalization\, all guided by the highest caliber global experts-in-the-field. \nOur mission is to become the first educational course in the field of CTO crossing of all endovascular levels\, from head to toe. \nThe multi-level aspect will not only be reflected in touching all anatomical levels but also in degree of experience. Clear step-by-step approaches to all kind of revascularizations (basic day)\, more experienced cutting-edge education to overcome daily difficulties (experienced day) and finally extreme cases and techniques (advanced day) will be integrated in the program.\n​Strategies on the frontline\, material knowledge into depth\, dedicated but unfamiliar tools and unexpected problem solving are just some of the ingredients of this new “learning” concept in the peripheral world.\nEarly and late hands-on workshops will be setup to allow bench tests and practical training focused on specific tools/anatomy\, and the full course will be fully recorded and partially broadcast for a hybrid experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe openly welcome\, vascular specialists from all disciplines\, trainees\, nurses and researchers working in the vascular field and the attendance will be available not only in full access (3 days) but also on a 2-day package\, days 1 & 2 for basic and experienced levels\, or days 2 & 3 for experienced and advanced levels.​\n​T​his course will offer a great opportunity to network with colleagues and catch up with friends. Please join us in Brussels in May 4th to 6th 2023 to witness what makes the Multi-Level CTO Endovascular Course such a unique didactical event. \nGiovanni Torsello & Max Amor \n\nDon’t hesitate to already subscribe to the newsletter of the congress: HERE

SUMMARY:BGES-BAST Abdominal Cadaver Course 2023 - Upper GI
DESCRIPTION:BGES-BAST ABDOMINAL CADAVER COURSE 2023 \n\nCourse Objectives \nMinimally invasive surgery is increasingly implemented in surgical centers all over Belgium.

This course is intended to provide hands-on training on the most common advanced minimally invasive surgical procedures in the field of abdominal surgery. A faculty of experienced minimally invasive surgeons will guide you through the advantages and pitfalls of these procedures. The hands-on training in human cadavers will offer the trainees the opportunity to “rehearse” these procedures in the presence of experienced supporting teachers. Every participant will be able to perform at least one procedure in a human cadaver as a first surgeon. Residents can choose to participate in an upper GI course (1st June 2023) or lower GI (2nd June 2023)\, or both. \n  \nProgram \n1st June 2023: Upper GI (Nissen\, Toupet\, Sleeve\, Gastric bypass) \n2nd June 2023: Lower GI (Right and left hemicolectomy\, transversum\, TME) \n8u30-9u15: Welcome + short theoretical presentation \n9u30 – 12u30: Cadaver workshop \n12u30 – 13u30: lunch \n13u30 – 16u30: Cadaver workshop \n16u30 – 17u00: Q&A \nFaculty: Dr. H.
