The interactive course will provide all the elements needed to develop a successful advanced minimally programme including expert
techniques with particular focus on single port, robotic and nonintubated surgery. Delegates are invited to discuss the technical aspects of the most challenging procedures with international experts and share their most difficult cases with a knowledgeable and skilled faculty.

Webtlab: We have 24 places for Wetlab which you can now book along side your VATS Symposium 2016 ticket. Wetlab is dedicated to hands on surgical training development and assessment working closely with industry and National health service hospitals in Britain and Ireland.
We will have on hand the adward winning Fasotec BIOTEXTURE Surgical Training System Thoracoscopy. The system provides a realistic surgical environment. Commonly, surgeons use simple anatomy models made of plastics or live animals for training. However, skills/ techniques acquirable through the programs are far insufficient to participate in real
surgery, and animal labs also raise ethical issues. Our system is made based on 3D CT data of average Asian patients, allowing trainees to practice under lifelike condition. The replicated organs generate a feel of cutting, burning, and stitching real ones. Our goal is for surgeons to gain confidence through training, providing patients security.
