5. Workshop for Minimally Invasive- and Hernia Surgery

Retrospective of a training event in 2023 at the Baselland Cantonal Hospital in Liestal

The fifth edition of the interregional Workshop for Minimally Invasive- and Hernia Surgery was celebrated on the 22nd and 23rd of November 2023 in the surgical department of Cantonal Hospital Baselland in Liestal. Together with like-minded colleagues from the Cantonal Hospital Olten (soH) and Bülach they organized this two-day educational experience, which has been accredited with 16 Points of Continued Medical Education from the Swiss Surgical Society (SGC) and is a recognized event for the certified centers in Minimal Invasive (CAMIC)- and Hernia Surgery (CAH) of the German Society for General- and Visceral Surgery.

The organizers were pleased to welcome internationally renowned speakers as well as a growing number of participants from North-West Switzerland and Germany.

The 22nd of November, dedicated to minimally invasive surgery, started with a live surgery session from the operating theaters in Liestal, where live robot-assisted procedures for colon cancer and diverticular disease, as well as laparoscopic RYGB and adrenalectomy, were shown. Simultaneously, the use of assistive technology facilitated further hands-on experience with a training village including virtual and hybrid simulation systems for laparoscopic surgery, a pelvitrainer with animal models, and robotic simulation. The importance of theoretical knowledge was not forgotten, and a range of presentations adapted to the academic needs of both young- and experienced participants were offered.

Thursday, 23rd of November, was dedicated to Hernia Surgery with live broadcast of laparoscopic- and robotic interventions (eTEP, TEP and TAPP). A major highlight was a Workshop on inguinal ultrasound. Stimulating talks from active experts took place and gave the final touch to this enriching professional experience.

A big thank you to all the sponsors, speakers, participants, and those who collaborated to make this event a definite success.
