Live Therapeutic Endoscopy
PRESENTED BY THE DIGESTIVE DISEASE INSTITUTE AT VIRGINIA MASON

The frontiers of therapeutic endoscopy have advanced dramatically over time. This course brings advanced therapeutic procedures to participants in up-close detail on the large screen as they are being performed, with experts narrating in real time as they utilize these techniques to evaluate and manage complex gastrointestinal disorders. Through case-by-case discussion and accompanying lectures on techniques ranging from endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) to endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and stent placement to fistula creation and closure, this course will address indications, techniques and novel state-of-the-art technologies which may obviate the need for surgical intervention and improve patient care. This type of course is only available in a very limited number of centers in the United States.

Audience members will see pre-selected complex cases of endoscopy transmitted live and in high-definition from the Jones Integrated Procedural Center at Virginia Mason to Volney Richmond Auditorium. An MD facilitator provides commentary and interacts actively with course participants and the therapeutic team, allowing real-time feedback and questions. Lectures will be interspersed throughout the day, allowing more formalized teaching on topics pertinent to advanced endoscopy. There will also be multidisciplinary interaction between interventional radiology and surgery. Case content may include management of esophageal biliary and pancreatic cancer, achalasia, malignant dysphagia, gastric outlet obstruction, acute necrotizing pancreatitis, Barrett’s esophagus and bile leaks.

Online registration will be open until 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 9, 2016.
