Intragastric Balloon Workshop

November 06, 07 and 09, 2024

Intragastric Balloon Workshop

MESSAGE FROM THE COORDINATOR

To guarantee the efficacy and legality of the proposed method, it is essential to follow a rigorous protocol that includes careful assessment and appropriate patient selection. This requires assembling a specialized multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive support throughout the treatment. It is essential that this team is well versed in the main types of balloon available and their specific indications, in order to customize the treatment according to the individual needs of each patient.

The process includes performing the implantation of the selected balloon, followed by careful monitoring and continuous follow-up to identify and treat any complications that may arise. In addition, it is important to be prepared to perform the balloon explantation if necessary, always with full legal compliance and attention to safety standards.

Given the importance of this training, we emphasize that we seek to offer quality education through the Scolla certification, as well as the MEC certification provided by the Univertix University Center, ensuring that all courses offered meet the highest standards of excellence and credibility.
