The Transanal total mesorectal excision – TaTME is currently, the most innovative surgical procedure for rectal cancer. Consequently, there is a continuously increasing demand from colorectal surgeons, for TaTME training. The ideal training is through cadaveric dissection courses.

The NoDE Institute’s Cadaveric Dissection TaTME Courses consist of a theoretical part  that includes detailed description of the operation TaTME procedures, with emphasis on how to succeed and what to avoid in the process. Subsequently, trainees have the opportunity to perform a TaTME on fresh-frozen cadavers*, in an actual operating-room setting.

The seminars are completed in 2 days.

The first day includes the theoretical part of the seminar.

On the second day, the trainees perform the same operation on fresh frozen cadavers* with step-by-step guidance.

For every two trainees a cadaver, a proctor and an operating theater are assigned.

Upon completion of the seminar, surgeons will be able to recognize TaTME preparation plans, avoid complications from injury to adjacent anatomical structures, and complete rectal resection in an oncologically sound manner.

The dates for 2024 are:

13 – 14 September2024

Participation in the program is free, as are all educational programs organized by NoDE.
