MINI INVASIVE BARIATRICS

2026

There is currently a boom in demand for bariatric surgery performed by laparoscopy. These techniques are considered the route of choice for most surgical procedures. Patients opt for this type of procedure because it is less invasive, safer and faster post-operatively. The course is aimed at fully understanding the bariatric patient in all their complexity and dimensions. It presents a common core of understanding, debates and adjustments of visions between surgeons and the multidisciplinary team, as well as improving the various surgical techniques, treatment of complications, revision surgeries, bariatric endoscopy and future perspectives in the treatment of morbid obesity. Well-trained surgeons can change the life story of metabolic patients, adding time and quality to their lives. This also results in lower costs for the public and private health systems, less absenteeism, and lower health costs and early retirements. Theoretical/practical training in Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgery is therefore fully justified, focusing on the day-to-day work of bariatric and metabolic surgeons, with theoretical classes with leading national specialists. Exhaustive training of techniques in live models, dry-lab and cadaver-lab. Participation in live surgeries and monitoring of the routine of big names in bariatric and metabolic surgery in Curitiba and Argentina, during a supervised internship in which students will be able to answer all their questions.

Methodology

The training is theoretical and practical in order to get to know the workings and components of the technological platform to be used in surgery.

All face-to-face training will involve the use of:

  • Simulation center and in the operating room, focusing on normal operation and problem solving.
  • Complementary pre-clinical training that will involve the development of motor skills based on simulation of the surgical techniques that are the focus of the training.
  • Surgical techniques will also be combined with the observation of surgical cases, giving the student experience as an assistant in procedures, as well as carrying out procedures in training and under supervision.
  • All these steps will be overseen by a preceptor surgeon with extensive practical experience and consolidated knowledge in the technical area being trained.

Classes will take place as follows:

  • EAD lectures given by leading professionals in the field, presentation of live surgeries and discussion of clinical cases.
  • Practical training on living and inanimate models.
  • Observational internship, which provides experience with the real routine of the Minimally Invasive Surgery service.

Olá, sou Naiara Portugal, cirurgiã geral em Manaus e aluna da primeira turma da Pós em Cirurgia Bariátrica Minimamente Invasiva da Scolla. Esse curso foi um divisor de águas na minha carreira, não apenas pelo foco na bariátrica, mas pelo aprimoramento técnico em cirurgia geral também. A formação teórica, os treinamentos práticos em Dry-Lab e com animais, além do estágio no centro cirúrgico com o Dr. Nassif, ampliaram muito minha visão. Acompanhar desde a equipe de instrumentação até o cuidado com os pacientes mostrou a importância de uma atuação em equipe bem integrada. Recomendo fortemente o curso para quem busca evoluir tecnicamente e se aprofundar no universo da cirurgia bariátrica.
