Accredited by the Romanian College of Physicians with 12 CME credits and endorsed by EAES, this hands-on workshop is addressed to resident doctors and specialists in general surgery, gynecology, colorectal surgery, oncologic surgery.

During this event, the attendants will learn about:
- the physical phenomenon of fluorescence and applicability in medicine, with a role in the functional exploration of tissue perfusion;
- the computerized interpretation of images obtained after ICG injection, with a role in identifying anatomical structures and assessing their perfusion;
- the adaptation of surgical techniques based on the information obtained after ICG injection;
- the introduction of this technique for visualizing tissue perfusion in operative practice;
- the correct use of ICG visualization technology and will manipulate the technology necessary to visualize fluorescent substances used in both classical and minimally invasive operations;
- establishing the indication and contraindication of this method;
- drafting their own ICG injection protocols, adapted to the surgical pathology approached;
- interpretation of lymphography and early evaluation of tissue perfusion, intraoperatively, after ICG administration;
- ICG administration protocols - intravenous, subcutaneous, intradermal, endoscopic - adapted to the type of surgery;
- application of ICG in the protocols for identification and bioptic excision of the sentinel nodes in cutaneous or gynecological neoplasms (indication, patient training, surgical technique, postoperative care);
- indications of the method, protocols applied in international surgery centers, methods of administration depending on the desired evaluations (vascular or lymphatic), particular cases, anatomical variants, atypical locations of the structures identified by ICG.

The attendants will practice basic maneuvers on anatomical models. These techniques are necessary for the injection, visualization and interpretation of the obtained images. The attendants will practice the fluorescent injection maneuvers on different models, including functional tissues, followed by vascular or lymphatic dissections.

The workshop includes live surgery, theoretical lectures, case discussions, comments, videos, practical exercises on models and functional tissues, training and handling the technology used to visualize ICG in classical or minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Accredited by the Romanian College of Physicians with 18 CME credits, this EAES endorsed hands-on workshop, is addressed to resident physicians and specialists in general surgery, with basic or medium experience in laparoscopic surgery.

At the end of the workshop, the attendants:
- will practice the handiness of the right hand and of the left hand, in order to learn the correct gestures for: manipulation of abdominal structures, sharp and blunt dissection, diathermic coagulation, clipping, sectioning, stapling, inserting drain tubes, extracting parts, closing trocar holes;
- will have the necessary knowledge for the correct use of electrosurgical instruments;
- will learn the simple modalities to perform laparoscopic nodes;
- will have the necessary knowledge for the correct performance of mechanical anastomoses;
- will have the necessary knowledge in the field of colorectal laparoscopic surgical anatomy;'
- will have the necessary knowledge for the correct positioning of the patient in colorectal laparoscopic surgery, as well as the positioning of trocars, the organization of the operating room for colorectal laparoscopic surgery;
- will learn about the accidents and incidents that may occur during a laparoscopic intervention and the best modalities to resolve them;
- will learn the modality and the steps of performing the techniques for right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, complete excision of mesorectum for rectal cancer through laparoscopic approach.

This event comprises live surgery, theoretical lectures, case discussions, comments, video films, practice on pelvi-trainer and POP-trainer, practice on functional tissues.

At the end of this workshop you will be more confident in your possibilities and your practical skills concerning the application of elementary techniques concerning colorectal laparoscopic surgery and you will be able to start using the minimally-invasive approach in the colorectal surgical practice.
