Minimally Invasive and Endoluminal Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Advanced Course

Full immersion in bariatric surgery

Join us for a full week of bariatric courses dedicated to robotic, minimally invasive, and endoluminal surgery.

These full immersion workshops are intended for bariatric surgeons, fellows, and residents in training across the world.

They have been structured to provide didactic lectures, surgical video demonstrations, and hands-on practice in standard bariatric surgery on ex-vivo models and live tissue, or anatomical specimens.

In addition to this 4-day laparoscopic and endoscopic training, an optional 2-day course will provide a unique opportunity to discover or improve skills in robotic bariatric surgery.

It is a perfect way for surgeons already familiar with laparoscopic techniques to complete their skills.

A panel of world-renowned leaders in this field of expertise will deliver lectures focusing on bariatric surgery including standard techniques, pitfalls, complications, and redo surgery.
