Ultrasound is important in evaluation of severly injured patients. In this workshop participants will learn how to perform the E FAST (Focussed assessment with Sonography in Trauma) under supervision of experienced tutors. Also participants without ultrasound knowledge are welcome. Registration mandatory

The organic material offers an ideal training environment to further educate their handling of different staplers. Complete surgical steps such as a low anterior resection or esophagojejunostomy are optimally taught through video presentations and practical exercises with instructors. The groups of two also prove themselves in this stapling course so that you can profit from a maximum benefit. Registration mandatory.

In most hospitals, cast applications are increasingly being done by specialised nurses. This professionalisation is important for the quality of immobilisation, especially for special indications. You learn, for example, how to properly care for a radius fracture with a synthetic support bandage. This enables you to provide adequate care for your patients. In this course, we offer you the opportunity to learn how to apply synthetic support bandages. Registration mandatory.

In the era of endovascular aortic surgery, numbers of open aortic surgery are declining and there is a shift to more complex anatomies. In this course, we discuss the reading of a preoperative computed tomography and planning of the operative procedure in complex anatomies in infrarenal, juxtarenal and superarenal aortic and iliac aneurysms and aortoiliac occlusive disease, including the possible operative approaches and potential pitfalls. Registration mandatory.

Clinical research is part of the work of a surgical trainee and conducting a proper literature search is useful for everyone practicing evidence-based surgery. The key elements of clinical research and conduct of a systematic literature search are included in this SCS course. Registration mandatory.

High-grade carotid stenosis represents a relevant risk of stroke. Open carotid surgery is indicated for primary or occasionally secondary stroke prophylaxis. Endovascular procedures also have their place in the variety of methods. In a few surgical disciplines, evidence-based data can be applied so well because there is an excellent database. Nevertheless, technical procedures and, above all, clinical algorithms remain worthy of discussion and are part of this interdisciplinary workshop. Registration mandatory.

Resusitive Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is life-saving procedure in patients with massive bleeding, e.g. in patients with ruptured infrarenal aneurysms. It involves the insertion of a balloon into the aorta, via a femoral access approach, that is subsequently inflated to provide hemostasis. A standardized algorithm is key for successful REBOA. In this course REBOA is explained in detail.

In this course REBOA is explained in detail. Participants can practice REBOA using a REBOA model and a simulator, where REBOA and EVAR (endovascular aortic repair) can be trained in a patient with a ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm and hemodynamic instability.

As general surgeon in training, you should be able to control the bleeding of larger vessels and be familiar with the technique to suture veins and arteries. During the course, you will optionally learn how to fix patches to reconstruct a vessel defect and to restore in this way blood flow. Beside the practical work we will teach you strategies to deal with hemorrhages. Registration mandatory.

Besides technical skills ideal planning is key in vascular access surgery. Especially patients with compromised arterial and venous vessels benefit from vascular ultrasound. This non-invasive imaging method helps in decision-making pre-, intra- and postoperatively. Registration mandatory.
