Friday, March 20, 2020, 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Winthrop Research & Academic Conference Center, Mineola, NY
We are delighted to invite you to attend the 12th Annual Long Island Live Endoscopy Course, exploring the frontiers of endoscopic surgery, to be held on March 20 and 21, 2020 at the NYU Winthrop Research and Academic Center in Mineola, NY.
The latest U.S. News & World Report has named NYU Winthrop Hospital as one of the best hospitals in the New York Metropolitan region for 2019-20, ranking for six high performing types of care, which includes gastroenterology. The McCann Endoscopy Center is just one of the many reasons our institute is acclaimed. The reputation of our endoscopy specialists has steadily grown resulting in an increased demand for our advanced diagnostic services.
The McCann Endoscopy Center features:
In 2018, McCann Center for Endoscopy at NYU Winthrop performed more than 2,450 cases of advanced endoscopy procedures for various diagnoses. McCann Endoscopy Center at NYU Winthrop and the NYU Winthrop Research and Academic Center (RAC), both in Mineola, Long Island, are the sites of NYU Winthrop’s Annual Long Island Live Endoscopy Symposium each Spring. At this multi-day conference, endoscopists and gastroenterology clinicians can learn by watching live cases presented in real time by Dr. Stavropoulos and international peers in advanced endoscopy, as well as optional skills training stations using ex-vivo porcine models precepted by the same renowned faculty and local experts. NYU Winthrop’s proximity to two international airports (John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia) have made this the pre-eminent advanced endoscopy live training course in the United States.
The course website (winthropendoscopy.org), where the past 7 years of LIL (2013-2019) are archived in their entirety (lectures and live cases) won the 2018 platinum and 2019 silver E-healthcare award for medical content and has become the pre-eminent educational resource Endorsed by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for physicians embarking on novel endo-surgical procedures and technologies.
In 2020, the main focus of the Long Island Live Endoscopy course will again be cutting-edge endoluminal surgery and Natural Orifce Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) techniques. These include three simultaneous live Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomies (POEMs) demonstrating technique variations by three expert POEM operators in various challenging clinical scenarios, including multiple Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), Endoscopic FullThickness Resection (EFTR), Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection (STER) for GI tumors, Zenker’s diverticulotomy, peroral pyloromyotomy and other endoscopic surgery procedures.
For the 8th year in a row we will feature live cases by Haruhiro Inoue, an ESD pioneer and global “Father of POEM,” cases by Ping-Hong Zhou, the operator with the highest volume of POEM and EFTR/STER cases in the world and live cases by 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 use of the hybrid knife, Endofip, 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, transmission of the Keynote Address from the American Foregut Society Meeting in California.
The very popular “Hands-On Lab with the Masters” will be held on March 21, ofering instruction in POEM, ESD, Suturing and new ESD technologies by the live course masters. The lab will be limited to the frst 20 physicians who meet the prior training criteria and register for the lab. The handson lab has always sold-out rapidly in the past and we recommend early registration for those who are interested.
Gastroenterologists, surgeons, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, residents, fellows and students.
Early Bird Registration ends on February 20, 2020 at 11:59 PM EST. Increased fees will apply after the early bird deadline.
