IHU Strasbourg has recently hosted two intensive sessions of the Master M2 in Surgical Science & Innovation Technology, dedicated to two options within the curriculum:
- Surgical and bariatric endoscopy (January 12–13),
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) (January 19–21).
Aimed at international doctors and surgeons, these immersive and practical training courses at the IHU Strasbourg are part of an educational program combining theoretical teaching, real clinical cases, and practical hands-on.
Two specialties, one philosophy: learning by doing
Whether it’s bariatric endoscopy or ERCP, the teaching principle remains the same: exposing participants to real-life clinical situations while allowing them to refine their technical skills in a safe environment.
The surgical and bariatric endoscopy option explores endoscopic bariatric procedures, their indications, techniques, and results, with a particular focus on endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.
The second option delves into the heart of biliary and pancreatic anatomy, covering ERCP and diagnostic and interventional echoendoscopy.
A training model centered on hands-on workshops
One of the key features of these sessions is the time devoted to practical hands-on on the experimental platform at the Strasbourg IHU. Organized into small groups, participants alternate between different workshops, which serve as training grounds before moving on to the operating room:
- simulators and learning devices,
- ex vivo models,
- ERCP techniques,
- fundamentals of endoscopic ultrasound,
- lumen-apposing metal stents,
- percutaneous single-operator cholangioscopy.
This progression allows participants to acquire skills that can be directly transferred to everyday clinical practice.
Excellent supervision
The sessions are led by Prof. Silvana Perretta, Director of Education Programs at the IHU, supported by renowned international experts. The program includes lectures, live real-life cases from the operating room, clinical case analyses, and discussions with participants.
Training tomorrow’s experts in minimally invasive surgery
Through this Master’s program and all of its educational programs, the IHU Strasbourg affirms its role in advanced training in surgical and interventional endoscopy, within a demanding and innovation-oriented international environment.
