General Information

We have courses in the UK and Overseas

The Cambridge Anastomosis Workshop is a practical hands-on 4-day intensive workshop covering a wide range of anastomoses - small and large bowel, oesophagus, stomach, blood vessels and urology. These are the fundamental techniques any surgeon must know. A leaking anastomosis usually kills the patient yet safe anastomoses can be reliably made. In the workshop, you'll have each technique explained, and then see it as a live demonstration or using the course DVD. Then you'll carry out the procedure under close supervision. You can expect to carry out over 20 anastomoses during the course and will have opportunities to examine them from the inside. Teaching is in a large lab with excellent facilities. Faculty members are surgeons with years of experience teaching practical surgical techniques.

The course is for Surgeons wishing to learn safe and reliable anastomosis techniques in bowel, vascular and urological surgery. You'll feel more confident tackling elective and particularly emergency operations. After the course you'll be a better, more critical surgeon than you were at the beginning, I promise, and you'll have a certificate to prove it. Gynae-oncologists find we cover the range of bowel, vascular and urological anastomoses they need.
