Gastroenterological Session Common

Colonoscopy should be a painless procedure for the patient. Excessive intestinal stretching is one reason for the pain during colonoscopy. Therefore, the straightnening and shortening technique is the key to master a rapid and comfortable colonoscopy. Endoscopy relies heavily on one's skill, which also takes time to master. It is important to gain a lot of experience, but the fastest way to learn the technique is to receive direct instruction from experts. This hands-on seminar aims to help participants master the basics of colonoscopy intubation through training with emphasis on the straightening and shortening technique using a colon model.

Overview

Participants will train on the straightening and shortening technique for a rapid and comfortable total colonoscopy, with the aim to master insertion up to the cecum within 5 minutes using a colon model.

Pancreatobiliary Session Common

EUS and ERCP are two major diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures for pancreatobiliary diseases. To achieve high diagnostic yield by EUS-FNA, visualization using convex EUS is essential. Advanced interventional EUS such as drainage of pancreatic fluid collection and bile duct can be only performed after learning basic EUS and EUS-FNA.
In ERCP, biliary cannulation and subsequent endoscopic sphincterotomy are the basics of various therapeutic ERCP to manage biliary strictures and stones. In the EUS session, trainees will learn the standard visualization of the pancreatobiliary anatomy by convex EUS, and basic techniques of EUS-FNA using phantom models. In the ERCP session, trainees will learn the basic process of ERCP; scope insertion, biliary cannulation, endoscopic sphincterotomy and subsequent treatment such as biliary stenting and stone extraction, using a dry ERCP model. All hands-on trainers are well experienced both in procedures and educations. In addition to novices, trainees with some experiences who seek to have practical advice from experts are also welcome.

Liver Session Common

We will hold a hands-on seminar aimed at acquiring practical skills in screening examinations using abdominal ultrasound equipment and liver interventional　techniques under ultrasound guidance. In individual booths, the first half will mainly focus on abdominal ultrasound screening and ultrasound elastography, while the latter half will involve hands-on practice of echo-guided liver interventional procedures as a therapeutic support. Additionally, on the mini-stage, three mini-lectures and live demonstrations will be held simultaneously, allowing participants to freely choose based on their learning interests.
Individuals who have previously felt somewhat uncomfortable with abdominal echo, those wishing to acquire skills in abdominal ultrasound screening, are all warmly welcomed. For those who may have felt a little anxious about liver interventional procedures, this hands-on seminar is the perfect opportunity to gain experience with numerous liver puncture. Moreover, for those seeking to further enhance their skills, it's an excellent chance to receive direct guidance from experts, including techniques like freehand liver puncture. With a total of four booths, each with two instructors, participants will have the opportunity to learn thoroughly according to their level. We sincerely hope you will consider attending. We look forward to receiving your applications.

Overview

In the first half, participants will engage in abdominal ultrasound screening, while in the second half, they will advance to practicing liver interventional procedures under ultrasound guidance.

Four individual booths will be set up, each staffed with two instructors to provide hands-on guidance tailored to participants' skill levels.

Simultaneously, three mini-lectures and live demonstrations will be held on the mini-stage, allowing participants to freely choose the topics they wish to learn.

Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to acquire skills in ultrasound elastography
