Endoscopic Bariatric and Functional GI Procedures Masterclass

Training Overview

Endoscopic Bariatric and Functional GI Procedures Masterclass is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the technical skills, clinical decision-making, and procedural safety of gastroenterologists performing advanced endoscopic bariatric and functional gastrointestinal interventions. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with hands-on endoscopic simulation, focusing on efficacy, patient safety, and long-term outcomes.

The course covers patient selection, indications, anatomical considerations, and step-by-step techniques for endoscopic bariatric procedures and functional GI interventions. Emphasis is placed on intragastric balloon placement, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), suturing techniques, and endoscopic management of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Through interactive simulation workshops, participants perform endoscopic bariatric and functional procedures in high-fidelity simulation labs replicating real endoscopy suite workflows. Training is conducted under the supervision of expert gastroenterologists and international faculty, reinforcing procedural precision and workflow efficiency.

In addition to hands-on training, the program includes expert-led discussions on complication prevention, post-procedural management, multidisciplinary care, and patient follow-up. Case-based sessions address real-world obesity management challenges and complex functional GI cases encountered in daily practice.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened their endoscopic bariatric skills, procedural confidence, and ability to deliver safe and effective minimally invasive GI interventions.
