SFITS Paediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery and Urology Course
From Thursday 21 August 2025
To Friday 22 August 2025

HUG Course 2025 posterThe minimally invasive approach is becoming the standard for a growing number of procedures in all fields of paediatric surgery. This two-day course, organised for the fifth time after the success of recent years, allows surgeons of all levels to benefit from this formal theoretical teaching, but also and most importantly to have the opportunity to exercise on a wide range of carefully selected models, while exchanging and discussing operative techniques with internationally recognized experts. We are happy to offer you the opportunity to train on the avian model which we developped for neonatal MIS training, and published recently. (Zimmermann, P., Wiseman, A.X., Sanchez, O. et al. The avian model: a novel and cost-effective animal tissue model for training in neonatal laparoscopic surgery. J Ped Endosc Surg 1, 99–105 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1007/s42804-019-00027-8)
