Online and hands-on training

MiS-Life Leuven organises regular training courses in laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, combining a strong hands-on approach with exposure to the latest instruments and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Programmes integrate practical training sessions with expert-led lectures and, depending on the course, live surgery demonstrations.

As a leading international centre for education and certification in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery, MiS-Life Leuven is a certified Diploma Centre within the GESEA Educational Programme. We offer structured training pathways designed to build both theoretical knowledge and practical surgical skills in laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.

Our programmes include hands-on courses, skills workshops and online sessions for medical professionals at all levels. Training is delivered at dedicated on-site venues across Europe, as well as through interactive online formats that support continuous development and accessibility.

MiS-Life is driven by a multidisciplinary team of experienced medical professionals and dedicated staff, all committed to advancing education in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. Academic leadership is provided by internationally recognised hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgeons with extensive clinical and teaching experience, including Dr. Rudi Campo, Director and hysteroscopic surgeon, and one of the founders of the European Academy of Gynecological Surgery (now MIS Academy Europe). The teaching team is complemented by expert faculty such as Dr. István Árgay, laparoscopic surgeon and GESEA Centres Coordinator, and supported by an experienced management team ensuring the professional organisation and coordination of all programmes.

Together, the MiS-Life Leuven team delivers high-quality, structured and evidence-based training, both on site and online, in line with the highest international standards. Whether you are preparing for GESEA certification or aiming to further develop your expertise in minimally invasive surgery, MiS-Life offers comprehensive and innovative learning experiences guided by expert faculty and real-world practice.

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. 

  • DAY 1: Diagnostic hysteroscopy and GESEA HYSTT exercises 

  • DAY 2: Mechanical operative, bipolar needle hysteroscopy 

  • DAY 3: Bipolar resectoscopy and mechanical tissue removal hysteroscopy (shaver) 

This course aims to achieve the following objectives: 

  • Perform an office/outpatient diagnostic-operative hysteroscopy 

  • Become familiar with new indications for different techniques of operative hysteroscopy (bipolar, mechanical tissue removal system hysteroscopy) 

  • Participants should be able to start with major uterine surgery 

The course is aimed at all gynaecologists with a special interest in hysteroscopy, however experience of more than 50 diagnostic and 20 operative procedures is required.
