The advanced course is for the multi-disciplinary team involved in the treatment of obesity and informs about up-to-date studies investigating the underyling mechanisms of bariatric surgery with a special focus on gastrointestinal hormones and ingestive behavior. The course will involve a comprehensive information and discussion of modern digital strategies to improve retention and health competence of patients with morbid obesity with or without bariatric surgery. The faculty is excited to share best practices and tips, enhancing surgical, scientific and communicational skills. On bariatric simulation models will be shown, how surgeons can train the technical skills of their residents in a systematic & standardized way for different bariatric procedures.
Objectives:
1. To increase knowledge about recent scientific evidence and ongoing studies investigating the underlying physiological mechanisms of bariatric & metabolic surgery other than restriction and malabsorption
2. To improve digital & non-digital communication skills to increase retention & health competence of patients with morbid obesity
3. To show how to teach your residents on bariatric simulators
4. To understand the rationale for standard bariatric procedures procedure in primary and revisional bariatric surgery including appropriate patient selection and follow-up management
