  • Introduction to anatomy of the animal model (pigs)

Room of Experimental Surgery

INTRODUCTION

  • Trocar positions
  • Traction and creation of bowel loops
  • Bowel splitting and anastomosis
  • Use of gravity for field creation

INTERVENTIONS

  • Bladder sedimentation and drainage
  • Mobilisation of rectus along aorta
  • Splitting of rectus and anastomosis at various levels
  • Small bowel resection and endosomal anastomosis
  • Preparation of the blind from the terminal ileum

Video “Tips & Tricks”

  • Interactive video projection.
    Before or after (based on the programme) the training on the animal model, the trainees take part in the video projection “Tips & Tricks”. These projections analyse each step of the colorectal laparoscopic interventions, with an in-depth analysis, practical advice and discussion. The participants have the opportunity to express their concerns and get answers on all practical issues of these interventions during the interactive projection.
