SUMMARY:BGES–BAST ABDOMINAL CADAVER COURSE 2026 | DAY 1
DESCRIPTION:Course objectives\nMinimally invasive surgery has become the standard of care in abdominal surgery. However\, residents may have limited opportunities to develop advanced laparoscopic skills as primary operators. \nThis hands-on course aims to bridge that gap by providing practical training in commonly performed upper and lower gastrointestinal procedures using human cadavers. Under the close supervision of experienced surgeons\, participants will work through the key operative steps\, technical challenges\, and potential pitfalls of each procedure. \nProgramme\nWednesday\, 4 November 2026 — Upper GI\nProcedures: \n\nNissen fundoplication\nToupet fundoplication\nSleeve gastrectomy\nGastric bypass\n\nDaily schedule\n\n08:30–09:15 — Welcome and brief theoretical session\n09:30–12:30 — Cadaver workshop\n12:30–13:30 — Lunch\n13:30–16:30 — Cadaver workshop\n16:30–17:00 — Questions and discussion\n\nFaculty\nUpper GI — 4 November 2026\n\nDr Vincenzo Simonelli\nDr Martijn Schoneveld\nDr Hanne Vanommeslaeghe\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is available via www.bast.be. \nEligibility and practical information: \n\nParticipants must be members of both BAST and BGES.\nThe course is intended for residents with a particular interest in abdominal surgery.\nPriority will be given to fifth- and sixth-year residents.\nPriority will also be given to residents who have not previously attended a cadaver course.\nCapacity is limited to 10 participants per day.\nAs cadaver courses require considerable organisational and financial resources\, a deposit of €150 will be requested upon registration to minimise no-shows. The deposit will be fully refunded upon attendance.\n\nVenue\nCETRAS – UZ Gent\nCorneel Heymanslaan 10\n9000 Ghent\, Belgium \nOrganised by BGES and BAST\, with the support of Medtronic\, Johnson & Johnson\, and Arthrex.
