Advanced Hands-On Course on Surgical Tumor Ablation

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
 

Ablation and resection technologies are continuously 
evolving, with the emergence of new technologies 
that enable more effective and efficient tumor 
destruction. Currently, surgeons face many options 
to choose from. Furthermore, each technology and 
device utilize different ablation algorithms and 
require different principles for needle placement. 
Also, new devices are being introduced to the liver 
resection procedures. 
This 1-day course is an opportunity for an update in 
these technologies, with a strong emphasis on 
procedural details and a hands on lab to be able to 
master these techniques. At the end of the course, 
the participants are expected to learn these 
procedures and introduce them to their practice.

TARGET AUDIENCE 

General surgeons, surgical oncologists, HPB surgeons, 
liver transplant surgeons,, fellows in training.
