SUMMARY:BGES-BAST Abdominal Cadaver Course 2024 - Lower GI
DESCRIPTION:BGES-BAST ABDOMINAL CADAVER COURSE 2024 \n\nCourse Objectives \nMinimally invasive surgery is the gold standard in surgical practice. However\, many residents miss out on opportunities to master advanced procedures. This course aims to fill that gap by offering hands-on training in the most common laparoscopic surgical techniques in the field of abdominal surgery. Under the guidance of experienced surgeons\, participants will gain practical experience using human cadavers. These experienced surgeons will guide trainees through the challenges and complexities of each procedure. Each participant will have the opportunity to perform at least one procedure in a human cadaver as a first surgeon. Residents can choose to attend either the upper GI course on 30 May 2024\, the lower GI course on 31 May 2024\, or both. \n  \nProgram \n30 May 2024: Upper GI (Nissen\, Toupet\, Sleeve\, Gastric bypass) \n31 May 2024: 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.

SUMMARY:Belgian Surgical Week 2024: ‘Beyond the visible: surgical innovations ‘.
DESCRIPTION:Our next annual congress being the 25th edition of the BSW\, will be held in the Ostend Thermae Palace from 25th to 27th April 2024 with as theme  \n  \n‘Beyond the visible: surgical innovations ‘. \n  \nThis time we will focus on the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)\, augmented reality (AR)\, ICG-guided laparoscopic and robotic surgery as well as molecular imaging in our surgical practices. As examples: molecular imaging guided surgery allowing to see tumour undetected by the naked eye or AI assisting the surgeon to guide surgery (cholecystectomy\, hepatic tumours\,…). Thus\, all technologies helping surgeons to improve surgical dissection and/or resection quality. \nAdditionally\, we will also explore the rapidly growing research on new therapeutic modalities (immunotherapy\, radiotheranostics\,…) and of the microbioma in surgical outcomes. \n  \nI am confident that the discussions taking place during this congress will contribute to the improvement of patient care and will increase our motivation to use these new technologies for our future surgical procedures. \n  \nOur RBSS annual congress remains the occasion for surgeons and trainees to meet and interact with each other. \n  \nDuring this year’s presidency\, several sections of the RBSS will organize postgraduate courses and workshops. \nMoreover\, driven by J. Lemaitre Chairman of the RBSS’ Educational Committee and in collaboration with the BAST\, the very first meeting on surgical simulation will take place in Nivelles on 29th September next.  \nTogether with the concerned sections\, educational tours (VATS\, Colorectal\, Endocrine\, HPB\, UGI\, Abdominal wall) will be set up during the academic year 2023-2024. \nEqually a 4th edition of the RBSS/BAST weekend will happen on 20th & 21st January 2024. \n  \nHoping to see you numerous at all these RBSS initiatives as well as at the 25th anniversary congress in Ostend.

SUMMARY:BGES-BAST ABDOMINAL CADAVER COURSE 2023 - Lower GI
DESCRIPTION:BGES-BAST ABDOMINAL CADAVER COURSE 2023 \n\nCourse Objectives \nMinimally invasive surgery is increasingly implemented in surgical centers all over Belgium. However\, residents often lack the opportunity to perform advanced procedures. 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.
