About the course

Our GI Anastomosis Techniques Course gives participants an opportunity to perform a variety of surgical procedures on tissue models under the expert guidance of consultant surgeons. 

The Course Director is: Mr Min Maung, Consultant General Surgeon, NHS Lanarkshire  

The course forms an integral part of current postgraduate surgical training and the delivery maximises learning opportunities with a high trainer-to-trainee ratio. Participants will learn from a variety of procedures including:  

  • Small bowel anastomosis 
  • Colonic anastomosis 
  • Gastrojejunostomy 
  • Oesophago-gastrotomy  

The course is well paced and offers sufficient time to understand procedures and undertake focused practice. Personal feedback on performance is offered with advice for further practice. The course is suitable for Foundation to Core Surgical Trainees. 

 

What previous delegates have said:

“I had the chance to actual perform anastomosis instead of assisting and had a senior advised me on how I can improve which is

exactly what I was seeking.”

“Huge amount of hands on experience. Clear demonstrations and instructions. Excellent faculty.”

“Having now been able to practice my skills, I can apply these more confidently when assisting in theatre."
