• Information:

The Endobariatric Symposium and Suturing Masterclass 2025 is designed to equip attending physicians with the essential knowledge and skills for performing endobariatric procedures and endoscopic suturing for both bariatric and non-bariatric surgeries. Day one will provide a comprehensive introduction to endobariatric procedures and endoscopic suturing, encompassing topics such as bariatric and non-bariatric endoscopic suturing applications, effective strategies for overcoming common challenges, advanced endoscopic suturing techniques, and valuable expert insights. Day two delves into advanced endobariatric and endoscopic suturing topics, including innovations in the field, successful implementation strategies, current trends, insights on establishing an endobariatric private practice, and best practices for implementing endobariatric programs. Led by experts in the field, both days feature immersive hands-on laboratory sessions, along with engaging didactic presentations with interactive question and answer sessions, live case broadcasts, and instructive video-based case studies. The hands-on laboratory provides the opportunity for realistic practice of skills and techniques necessary for proficiently performing endoscopic weight loss procedures, including Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG).
