This intensive hands-on workshop is designed for resident physicians and specialists in General Surgery and Gastroenterology with limited or moderate experience in endoscopy, who wish to develop practical skills in diagnostic and interventional endoscopic techniques.

Throughout the event, participants will:
- Practice hemostasis techniques, including submucosal injection, application of metal clips, and argon plasma coagulation.
- Perform polypectomy procedures safely and efficiently.
- Learn and apply the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) techniques, including Pull and Push variants.
- Practice closure of accidental perforations using the OVESCO clip.
- Apply pneumatic dilation techniques for digestive tract stenoses.
- Acquire the necessary knowledge for the correct use of electrosurgical instruments.
- Learn how to administer superficial sedation safely during endoscopic procedures.
- Understand potential incidents and adverse events during endoscopic interventions and the best strategies for their management.

The program combines:
- Theoretical lectures introducing endoscopic anatomy, indications, and safety principles.
- Video presentations and expert-led case discussions illustrating real clinical cases.
- Hands-on sessions on prelevated organs, allowing participants to practice all interventional techniques under direct supervision.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Gain confidence in performing essential interventional endoscopic procedures.
- Strengthen both theoretical understanding and manual skills in hemostasis, polypectomy, PEG placement, perforation closure, and dilation techniques.
- Be prepared to apply these techniques safely and effectively in clinical practice, including sedation management and complication handling.
