Needs Statement

The Submucosal & Transluminal Endoscopy Workshop aims to update practicing advanced endoscopists in the latest procedures in gastroenterology. The goal of this course is to review current as well as emerging medical therapies and procedures in gastroenterology and offer a roundtable discussion as well as a hands-on teaching course for the most effective ways to integrate this information into clinical practice.

Target Audience

Gastroenterologists with experience in EMR interested in familiarizing themselves with principles of submucosal endoscopy.
Advanced endoscopists interested in therapeutic EUS techniques.
Advanced endoscopy fellows interested in submucosal and extra-luminal endoscopy.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of the activity, participants should be able to:

Discuss the basic techniques and indications for esophageal, gastric and colonic ESD and apply them in clinical practice
Outline the basic techniques and indications for per-oral endoscopic myotomy and implement them in practice
Recognize the adverse events associated with submucosal endoscopy and how to manage them
Discuss the basic techniques for trans-luminal endoscopy and lumen opposing metal stents placements and apply them in appropriate patients
Recognize the indication, technique and adverse events of endoscopic-guided gallbladder therapy
Recognize the indication, technique and adverse events of creating enteric anastomosis using endoscopy
Explain the correct methods of performing fundoplication in GERD

Educational Methods

Lecture, Demonstration, Small Group Breakout Session, Hands-on Workshop

Evaluation

Evaluation by questionnaire will address program content, presentation, and possible bias.
