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.

• Date and Time: November 1st 14:00-17:00
• Venue: Kobe International Conference Center, 5F, 「504+505」

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.
