Hysteroscopy
Hands-on training in four hysteroscopic surgical techniques on realistic animal models developed by MiS-Life Leuven.
The remarkable progression of hysteroscopic techniques and instruments has inspired the experts of MiS-Life to design an intensive course with major attention to the hands-on training.
The limited number of two participants per training station and the established experience of the programme coordinators guarantee the most efficient learning effect. Special attention is given to new technologies and their application spectrum.
