2nd International Symposium:

Innovations in Bariatric Surgery

Hands-on practice with cadaver lab demonstrations

May 03 to 05, 2024

Curitiba, Paraná

Message from the Coordinators

Bariatric surgery is an exciting specialty that is in a full stage of development. Due to the great appeal and interest of society, governments and, therefore, companies and medical research centers, new ideas, techniques and technologies emerge every year. Keeping up to date is a necessity and keeping a close eye on new ideas and new products can make all the difference for bariatric surgeons in this very competitive market.

The Symposium in 2024 will focus on the theme of innovation and the practical preparation of surgeons to learn and use innovations that are ready and validated for immediate practice.

This topic will be thoroughly debated by experienced professionals during the 2nd International Symposium: Innovations in Bariatric Surgery, which will be held from May 3 to 5, 2024 in Curitiba/PR.

A dynamic, interactive event full of debates, surgeries, technical demonstrations and discussions of clinical cases. In addition, realistic simulation is a possibility through hands-on practical training on simulators and live models.

It will be an honor to welcome you to this event, which promises to be a great success.

We're waiting for you!

REGISTRATION

Participants can choose between two different registration methods:

A theoretical course, this option exclusively covers the first day of the event (Friday), during which registrants will take part in lectures and discussions of clinical cases, live broadcasts of surgeries, as well as the opportunity to network with speakers, fellow surgeons and the industry present on site.

Theoretical and practical hands-on courses will be offered in which students will take part in demonstrations of classic and innovative surgical techniques, carried out by experienced surgeons and with all the technical detail necessary for optimal learning of each procedure. Training will be carried out on live models and simulators of the techniques previously presented by the preceptors on cadaveric models. Training workshops will also be held on innovative bariatric devices.
