Emergency & Acute Care Surgery

From Saturday April 11 2026 to Thursday April 16 2026

This advanced pilot module focuses on abdominal emergencies and acute care, tailored for surgeons pursuing UEMS certification or training in emergency surgery.

Through expert-led lectures, case-based group sessions, and extensive practical labs—both open and laparoscopic—participants will train in bleeding control, damage control, anastomosis, and trauma techniques. Topics include triage, surgical futility, visceral trauma, and postoperative care. Additional opportunities in robotic and virtual reality training enhance the experience. Designed to foster operative precision, critical decision-making, and interdisciplinary teamwork, this module prepares surgeons to manage high-risk emergency scenarios with confidence and skill.
