Friday, March 22, 2019, 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Winthrop Research & Academic Conference Center, Mineola, NY
We are delighted to invite you to attend the 11th Annual Long Island Live Endoscopy Course, exploring the frontiers of endoscopic surgery, to be held on Friday March 22 and Saturday March 23, 2019 at the NYU Winthrop Research and Academic Conference Center. NYU Winthrop Hospital is a tertiary referral center ranked again for 2018-2019 as one of the best hospitals in the New York metropolitan area for gastroenterology and is located in Mineola, New York, in close proximity to two New York major international airports.
Long Island Live has become one of the pre-eminent Endoscopic Surgery live courses in the world, attracting participants from across the US and the globe with 19 states and four countries represented in 2018. In 2019, the main focus will again be cutting-edge endoluminal surgery and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) techniques. A highlight of the course is the three live Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomies (POEMs) performed by master operators and demonstrating technique variations in challenging clinical scenarios. Live cases also include Endoscopic Submucosal Dissections (ESD), Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resections (EFTR), Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection (STER), Zenker's diverticulotomy, peroral pyloromyotomy and other endoscopic surgery procedures.
For the 7th consecutive year, Long Island Live will feature live cases by Haruhiro Inoue, an ESD pioneer and global "Father of POEM", Ping-Hong Zhou, the operator with the highest volume of POEM and EFTR/STER cases in the world and Naohisa Yahagi, a pre-eminent Japanese ESD master. Western approaches to colonic ESD and suturing will be demonstrated in live cases by Sergey Kantsevoy. Western approaches to POEM, ESD and EFTR, including novel ESD knives, Endoflip, Endoscopic Suturing and the DiLumen and ORISE-TRS technologies will be demonstrated in live cases by Stavros Stavropoulos.
Christopher Gostout, master endoscopist and great NOTES visionary will again be the master of ceremonies providing great insights, masterful commentary and guidance to the live operators. He will be assisted by veteran co-moderator of the course and regional faculty member, Atul Kumar. The 11-12 live cases will be supplemented by six lectures spanning the entire spectrum of endoscopic surgery and, new this year, a "Reports from China: Emerging Trends and Technologies" section featuring visiting professors from China, a country that has become a hotbed of innovation in advanced endoscopy and pioneering endoscopic resection techniques.
The very popular "Hands-On Lab with the Masters" to be held on Saturday March 23, offers instruction in POEM, ESD, Suturing and new ESD technologies by the live course masters. The lab will be limited to the first 16 physicians who meet the prior training criteria and register for the lab. The hands-on lab has always sold out rapidly in the past and we recommend early registration for those who are interested.
Don't miss the course that Christopher Gostout has praised as "the most unique live case course on the globe from the perspective of demonstrating where interventional endoscopy can and should be going"?? and Haruhiro Inoue has described it as "the course with the most challenging and advanced resection cases in the world!"
For those interested in sampling past content, the 2013-2018 courses are archived in their entirety (lectures and live cases) at www.winthropendoscopy.org as an educational resource for those embarking on endoluminal surgical procedures such as POEM, ESD, EFTR, STER, endoscopic sleeve-gastroplasty and new endo-surgical technologies such as MUSE, Lumen-R/ORISE, DiLumen and others.
Gastroenterologists, surgeons, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, residents, fellows and students.
