Description:
Therapeutic endoscopy has advanced considerably in the last 10 years and includes an array of procedures including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endo- Tscopic mucosal resection, ablative techniques, stent placement, fistula creation and closure, and double balloon enteroscopy. This course offers attendees the opportunity to view procedures and have questions answered in real time by experts utilizing these complex techniques to evaluate and manage various gastrointestinal disorders. Audience members will see several pre-selected complex cases transmitted live and in high definition from the Virginia Mason Therapeutic Endoscopy Center to the course location in Volney Richmond Auditorium. Cases may include management of esophageal biliary and pancreatic cancer, malignant dysphagia, gastric outlet obstruction, acute necrotizing pancreatitis, Barrett’s esophagus, or bile leaks. A site facilitator provides commentary for the audience and interacts actively with the course participants and performance team allowing real-time feedback and questions.

Lectures are interspersed throughout the day, allowing more formalized teaching on topics pertinent to advanced endoscopy and will include gallbladder disease, colonoscopy, and weight loss. There will be a presentation and panel discussion addressing duodenoscope-associated multi-drug resistant organism transmission with latest updates on best practices for reprocessing.
