WELCOME MES S AGE
DEAR COLLEAGUES

We wish you a special warm welcome to this years 34th practical course in gastrointestinal
surgery in Davos. In the program you will find an arrangement of lectures followed by practical
exercises using various models.

Since the inauguration of this course, 33 years ago, surgery of the GI tract has considerably
changed and especially two techniques have revolutionized and expanded the possibilities:
First the refinement and improved safety of mechanical stapling devices and then of course
laparoscopic surgery. Here, a great variety of indications has been generally accepted and the
instruments in use are being modified and perfected quite rapidly.

These are good reasons for offering such a course for the benefit of practicing surgeons and
those involved in advanced professional education. The course 2017 focuses on detailed
technical aspects necessary for accomplishing these surgical interventions and makes
specially adapted models available. With virtual reality training models, you can test your skills
during the course.

No surgical intervention without basic knowledge. You will take part in state of the art lectures
concerning different tools in GI surgery, as well as in interactive sessions on special cases or
on errors in surgery.

The main issue of the Davos-philosophy is practicing surgery. Therefore the course is designed
to give each participant the chance to practice all the techniques as demonstrated by video
on different models. This allows the participants to learn new and to familiarize themselves
with alternative procedures and also to improve their skills.

After the lectures, the participants are invited to move to the rooms specially prepared for the
individual practical exercises. The numbers on the name-badges correspond with those of
each participants particular workbench. At each table an instructor will be happy to welcome
and guide you. Make frequent use of it!

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our Davos-Course 2017.

We very much hope you will find this week both stimulating and creative.

ADVANCED COURSE
WELCOME MES S AGE
DEAR COLLEAGUES

Since the inauguration of this course, over 30 years ago, gastrointestinal surgery has been
pushed forward towards minimal invasive procedures. Professional education and
international collaboration are the keystones of the long lasting success of the Davos courses,
as well as renewal.

Therefore, in 2015 we startet a pilot project besides the basic and intermediate course:
The Advancd Course focusing two topics in two modules, colorectal and hernia surgery.
Concept and program was set up by international collaboration again, in particular by Walter
Brunner, Harry v. Goor and Friedrich Herbst.

Success made us believe in this new course and hence we wish you a special warm welcome
to the 3 rd Advanced Course 2017! In the advanced course program you will find an arrange-
ment of lectures and practical exercises using various models.
The theoretical part will cover interactive lectures, split group theory sessions with rotation,
case discussions and meet the experts rounds. As a participant you will also be involved in
moderations, should bring in your experience and own cases, ask questions and be part in the
exchange of knowledge. Therefore you are requested to bring your smart phones and laptops
to special interactive sessions and literature research.

Furthermore, the main issue to improve your skills in practical exercises was always a focus
of the Davos course and will be part of the advanced course as well. You will be trained on
different modules including perfused organs in POP-Trainers. At each table expert instructors
in the topic of the advanced course will be happy to welcome and guide you.
Make frequent use of it!

Since this is the a new course anyway we kindly ask you in advance for your understanding
