Praktisch
Dear colleagues,
We would like to welcome you to our hands-on training in advanced colonic EMR in Leuven. In the era of colorectal cancer screening in Europe, there is an increasing demand of colonic EMR. This is a challenge to our daily endoscopy practice, on the one hand to select the correct patients for this treatment and on the other hand to achieve the technical skills to perform a high quality treatment.
With this background, we are very pleased to invite you to the workshop on 26 and 27 August 2025 with a strong emphasis on hands-on training with one-on-one feedback from experts.
We will start the workshop on Tuesday morning with state-of-the-art theoretical lectures on indications and technical tips and tricks, based on
the ESGE curriculum. The knowledge will then be put in practice during the hands-on training on animal models and live animals. The aim is to keep the course as practical as possible and to spend a lot of time on the achievement of hands-on experience with one-on-one training and teaching by experts in the field.
The organising committee with Raf Bisschops and Ingrid Demedts and the guest faculty Henriette Heinrich (Basel, Switzerland), Ignasi Puig (Barcelona, Spain), David Tate (Ghent, Belgium) are looking forward to welcome you in Leuven.
