Did you miss it last year?
Here is your chance to participate in another of our hands-on (online) Basic Anastomosis courses
2 part- course: 1st June (17:30-19:30) &
13th June (17:30-19:30)
Join Kak Khee Yeung, Carl Wahlgren, Maarten Truijers and Desiree van den Hondel as they guide you through Basic Anastomosis training.
Suturing vascular anastomosis is one of the main basic skills in vascular surgery. It is very specific and experiences with other anastomosis are not useful to perform vascular anastomosis. Lack of open surgical procedures in the common vascular surgical practice due to evolution of endovascular techniques is reducing training volume in everyday training. Also, training on models is these days, the recommended method for most surgical techniques. The course is designed to give the participants the possibility to learn about and perform vascular anastomosis on a model, being supervised by experts online. Such a course will provide participants with basic theoretical knowledge regarding anastomotic suturing and provide them with models to train and be evaluated on in the second session.
By attending this course, participants will come to know the principles of the vascular anastomosis, the drawbacks and technical tips, as well as how to improve their technique. They will be prepared to perform vascular anastomosis on their own patients under a certain level of supervision. They will learn how to use the model and how to perform end-to-side and end-to-end anastomosis through practice.

Intended audience: The course is designed for vascular surgeons, vascular surgeons in training. Basic knowledge of vascular anatomy and physiology is expected.
Registration: Course fees : 300€ ESVS members, 400€ non-members (includes kit and shipment within Europe – shipment costs for outside of Europe will be invoiced separately). Registration will close on May 17th midday to allow time to ship the kits to you. Please provide a home delivery address, not a work one. This is a 2-part course and so we highly recommend you register for both dates. We recommend that you ask an ‘assistant’ to join you during the sessions. They will be a second pair of hands to help you, for practical reasons i.e. allowing your to be hands-on with the equipment whilst the ‘assistant’ ensure the camera is well-positioned and a clear image is broadcast.
Cancellation policy:Â Once your registration has been confirmed and your equipment kit ordered we are unable to issue refunds.
CME:Â CME accreditation is being requested for this session.
Recordings:Â Participants are aware that the online session will be recorded and may be used by the ESVS on our website and e-library.
