Tsiamoulos\, Director of the International IN-CREM Endoscopic Microsurgery Department at Hygeia Hospital. It is co-organized by HEAL Academy\, HHG\, and ARSGE. \nThe program builds on the established success of earlier advanced endoscopy training programs in the UK\, adapting a proven educational model for a Greek and international audience. \nThe course aims to provide a high-level scientific and practical training forum for those with a specialist interest in therapeutic endoscopy and endosurgical innovation. \nWhat the course covers\nThe focus is the management of complex gastrointestinal lesions and the latest developments in endoluminal and minimally invasive techniques. Based on the educational model described for previous courses\, the format combines interactive lectures\, live endoscopy cases\, and hands-on experience\, with insight from an internationally renowned faculty. \nAdvanced procedures featured in the curriculum include:\n\nEMR\nESD / S-ESD\nSCOPE\nPOEM\nG-POEM\nZ-POEM\nSTER\nEndoscopic Bariatrics\n\nWho should attend\nThe course is designed for professionals with a specialist interest in advanced therapeutic endoscopy\, including: \n\nGastroenterologists\nSurgeons\nAdvanced endoscopists\nTrainees\nNurses and other healthcare professionals\n\nGuidelines\, innovation and patient care\nOrganizers describe the event as an exceptional platform for training and multidisciplinary discussion with a highly focused clinical audience. The core curriculum will be aligned with international guidelines and shaped by leading specialists and decision-makers\, while supporting innovation and the advancement of patient care in advanced therapeutic endoscopy. \nWhy it matters\nTechniques such as ESD\, POEM and endoscopic bariatrics let clinicians treat conditions from within the gastrointestinal tract\, often without conventional surgery. Training in these methods demands both theory and supervised practice. By pairing live cases with hands-on sessions in a hospital setting\, the Hygeia Endosurgical Course offers a direct route from discussion to practical skill.
