If you are interested in learning more about laparoscopic suturing and intracorporeal knotting techniques, come visit Dr. Zoltan Szabo and Ms. Wanda Toy at the Learning Center’s Suturing Station at the 2011 SAGES Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.
In 1993, SAGES organized the Learning Center to offer an informal setting for meeting attendees to acquire hands-on experience with various laparoscopic surgical techniques and procedures. The 2011 SAGES meeting represents our 19th successive year of coordinating the Suturing Station at the SAGES Learning Center, which remains a popular venue for surgeons looking to practice their laparoscopic skills.
Along with MOET faculty, a team of advanced laparoscopic surgeons will be available to answer questions and discuss the correct usage and practicality of various laparoscopic suturing techniques. The Suturing Station team this year includes:
- Dániel Gerő, M.D. Surgical Resident, Department of Surgery, Hôpital du Chablais, Monthey, Switzerland
- Girish Luthra, M.B.B.S., F.A.C.S. General Surgeon, Cheshire Medical Center / Dartmouth Hitchcock – Keene, NH
- Kazunori Uchida, M.D. Director, Department of Endoscopic Surgery, Hiroshima Hiramatsu Hospital & Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Hiroshima University Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan
- Siva Vithinianthan, M.D., F.A.C.S. Chief, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery, The Miriam Hospital & Assistant Professor of Surgery, Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI
Whether you are a surgeon attending your first SAGES meeting or you have visited the Suturing Station at previous meetings, we welcome your visit. The Learning Center will be open:
- Thursday, March 31, 2011: 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
- Friday, April 1, 2011: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
