3rd Liver Transplantation School is organized by European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and will be held from Sep 25 - 28, 2019 at Paris, Ile-de-France, France. Target Audience: PGHN trainees/MDs having interest in PGHAN. Senior allied health professionals willing to commit to all modules of school. Course Description: Around 500 pediatric liver transplants are carried out in Europe each year. No standardized training or exchange of clinical standards exists. In 2015 the ESPGHAN launched a School of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (PLT) consisting in a residential course, not intended to replace the clinical training but aiming at supplementing it, focusing at the most important topics in the field and supporting the exchange of clinical experience. The 2nd ESPGHAN Liver Transplantation School took place in 2017, in the italian city of Bergamo and is now being run in a biannual rhythm. This School is organized by the ESPGHAN Paediatric Hepatology Committee and is designed to provide cutting-edge information on this critical aspect of modern hepatology. The Faculty members will provide interactive sessions on the selection process, operations, complications and the long-term care of these patients, and feedback on the delegates’ cases. The School will represent an initial step in the formal educational module for young hepatologists towards ESPGHAN Diploma in Paediatric Liver Transplantation (EDiPaeLT). This meeting should attract younger gastroenterologists and hepatologists who have an ambition to develop transplantation programs locally, but also more senior established clinicians who would like to get a state-of-the-art update in an informal setting.

Advanced Laparoscopic Liver Surgery Course is organized by Mutualiste Institute Montsouris / Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM) and will be held from Sep 30 - Oct 01, 2019 at Institute Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM), Paris, Ile-de-France, France. Context: Since the first report of a successful laparoscopic liver resection, the diffusion of the laparoscopic approach in liver surgery has been delayed because of initial concerns regarding life-threatening operative risks, oncologic issues and early technical difficulties. A rapid, recent evolution of the liver laparoscopic approach has been observed mostly due to major technological improvements in laparoscopic instruments and increased hemostatic performance of different vessel-sealing devices whose use is mandatory during liver surgery. Nevertheless, laparoscopy has now been shown to provide several advantages over laparotomy including decreased rates of blood loss, clamping duration, postoperative complications and ascites as well as shorter hospital stays. These benefits are thought to be related to both existence of a pneumoperitoneum, which limits blood loss and thus decrease the need for inflow occlusion but are also the consequence of the absence of large-sized incision, the latter allowing for preservation of the collateral abdominal wall vascularization in cirrhotic patients, decreased postoperative pain and early rehabilitation. Course overview: This course is aimed at digestive surgeons having a special interest in liver surgery. The goal of this course is to share their experience with minor and major full laparoscopic hepatectomy by discussing the different steps and alternatives of this kind of approach on a theoretical basis and then by demonstrating the tips and tricks for improving laparoscopic liver resections during live surgery in the operating room. Technique advantages: • Enables preservation of the abdominal wall • Decrease rates of blood loss, clamping duration, • Reduce postoperative complications as well as shorter hospital stays. Target audience: • Hepatobiliary surgeon : liver, pancreas and bile ducts • Surgeons who want to develop a specific skill in minimally invasive surgery Course requirement: Good level of HPB skill  What will you learn? • To cover a broad spectrum of surgical procedures in laparoscopic liver surgery • To provide indications for surgical treatment and discuss operative complications • To highlight technicalities of surgical interventions through the broadcasting of pre-recorded live procedures • To describe postoperative clinical results and practical applications of evidence-based clinical medicine Educational methods Video, Lectures
