| The minimally
access courses at the University of Athens continue
successfully for the fifth year. These courses are
accredited by the European Association of Endoscopic Surgery
(EAES). A member of the Educational Committee of the EAES
will be the guest expert faculty, in addition to the local
faculty. The courses are organized by the Laparo-endoscopic
Unit, First Department of Propedeutic Surgery, University of
Athens in collaboration with the Center for Experimental
Surgery, Foundation for Biomedical Research, Academy of
Athens and the Experimental and Research Unit, ELPEN SA.
The courses are targeted to surgeons and senior trainees
who have previous experience in laparoscopic surgery. The
main objective is evaluation and analysis of different
surgical techniques, management of complications,
discussion of the technical issues that arise during the
procedure and hands-on training in a large animal model.
Every participant will have the opportunity to fully perform
and assist in laparoscopic procedures in anesthetized swine.
