This first human incisionless operation was carried out using a flexible endoscope for transvaginal removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) in a 30-year-old woman with symptomatic gallstones.
Les lauréats Clément Forest et Alexandre Hostettler ont remporté le premier prix des Espoirs européens de l’innovation 2006 doté de 3000 € pour leur simulateur médical d’échographie et de planté d’aiguille sous contrôle échographique pour l’entraînement aux gestes chirurgicaux et la certification des professionnels.
Clément Forest and Alexandre Hostettler won the first prize of the European Innovation Hopes 2006 and have been rewarded 3.000 € for their medical ultrasonography and needle insertion simulator under ultrasound control dedicated to the training of surgical manoeuvres and the certification of medical professionals.
IRCAD won the Health Trophy 2006 of the magazine Le Monde Informatique, which rewards the best informatics strategies, for the development of computer sciences adapted to medical and surgical training and research. Congratulations to the R&D team in computer sciences and robotics and to WebSurg for the computerization of surgical training in the new operative technologies of computer-guided minimally invasive surgery.
L’IRCAD a remporté le Trophée santé du Monde Informatique 2006 qui récompense les meilleures stratégies informatiques et qui a ainsi consacré le développement de l’informatique au service de la formation et de la recherche médicales et chirurgicales. Bravo aux équipes de R&D informatique et robotique et à WebSurg pour l’informatisation de la formation chirurgicale des nouvelles technologies opératoires de chirurgie mini-invasive assistée par ordinateur.

We would like to draw your attention that the « Vaccine Pass » is now mandatory in France since end of January 2022 and replaces the former « Health Pass » to access places that are open to the public, such as cinemas, museums, cafés and restaurants, hotels as well as the IRCAD Institute which welcomes participants in the framework of its courses and seminars. Thus, a PCR test without vaccination is no longer sufficient to take part in our courses.
The vaccine pass includes a proof of the following (one of the 3 items is sufficient):
Further information about the new vaccine pass can be found at :
We very much hope to be able to count on your kind understanding of those rules which have been set by the French Government and which our Institute is required to apply
