July 24 – Masterclass training with live case learning and hybrid access
2026-07-24 10:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | SAIL Centre, 10 Cutcombe Rd, London, 9RJ, SE5 9RJ,, United Kingdom
Course Overview
A one-day hybrid masterclass dedicated to the DiLumen Endoluminal Interventional Platform (EIP) for advanced colonic polypectomy, EMR, and ESD. The program combines expert-led lectures with curated video tips and tricks, a live-transmitted case from King’s endoscopy suite, and two parallel hands-on simulation stations. Delegates will leave with a clear framework for case selection, set-up, and the safe management of complex right-sided and difficult polyps — with an ongoing pathway to live remote mentorship through Mentix Ltd. for their first independent cases.

Learning Objectives

Understand the design principles, indications, and limitations of the DiLumen platform devices.
Apply structured case selection for difficult polyps, including right-sided and ileocaecal lesions.
Master device set-up, balloon stabilization, and lesion access.
Develop technical skill in DiLumen-assisted EMR and ESD through video tips and hands-on practice.
Recognize, prevent, and manage intraprocedural complications.
Plan post-course follow-up with Mentix Ltd. live teleproctoring for the first independent in-vivo cases.
