The program of the 8th edition of the Scientific and Training Conference on Laparoscopic Surgery included knot tying in laparoscopy and the performance of digestive anastomoses, both in the stapler technique - using "staplers" and manual suturing. The doctors practiced on specially prepared animal tissues using laparoscopic training simulator and staplers.
The training was opened by Prof. Maciej Słodkowski, who performed in a dual role as organizer and head of the Department of General, Gastrointestinal and Oncologic Surgery UCC MUW, as well as director of the Center for Postgraduate Education MUW. The scientific and organizational director of the event was Dr. Tomasz Guzel, assistant professor of the department, while the chief instructor was Prof. Thomas Carus, head of the Department of General, Visceral and Vascular Surgery, Niels-Stensen Kliniken, Elizabeth-Hospital Thuine, Germany. The German edition of the course has been organized by Prof. Carus for many years in Monchengladbach, Bremen, Hannover, Hamburg, Berlin, as well as in other foreign centers for advanced laparoscopic techniques.
The organizers would like the Warsaw edition of the event to contribute to the professional development of Polish surgeons in minimally invasive surgery techniques.
