Dear colleagues,
With many countries lifting the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we would like to share our happiness with you that the 3rd International Endometriosis School Istanbul will be held in person in Istanbul. After the first two International Endometriosis School meetings, which were successfully held in Istanbul in 2018 and 2019, the Turkish Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Society will organize the 3rd International Endometriosis School meeting under the chairmanship of Dr. Taner Usta, Dr. Engin Oral, and Dr. Ertan Sarıdoğan.
The meeting, which aim to attract the attention of young specialists and researchers especially interested in endometriosis, consists of four main topics. All lectures will be given by well-known endometriosis experts. The first part will cover the classification, imaging, and diagnosis of endometriosis. The second part will consist of the topics related to infertility, pregnancy outcomes, and pain management in endometriosis patients. The third part will include the surgical management of endometriosis in a broad aspect, and finally, the fourth part will cover recent guidelines, management of recurrent cases, and surgical complications. The attendees will also have the opportunity of watching a live deep infiltrating endometriosis surgery.
Additionally, hands-on practice session held in the animal laboratory under the supervision of expert trainers will aim to improve participants’ surgical skills . Exercises will include basic endoscopic training, hysterectomy and variety of advanced techniques related to endometriosis, such as bowel resection and anastomosis, ureteroneocystostomy, and management of major vascular injuries.
We cordially invite you to join us in this meeting, where we are certain that you will be exposed to new knowledge on endometriosis. We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul.
Kind regards.
