Indo-German Training Course

This year our annual Indo-German Training Course in Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery took place from 3rd – 15th May. Simultaneously, we also held an Indo-German Training Course in Reproductive Medicine at the Kiel School. For the first time we hosted two groups from India, comprising a total of 19 guest doctors.

Live surgery took place every day and could be followed either in the operating room or from the training school. Participants had ample opportunity to learn and practise laparoscopic skills in practical training sessions on models and animal organs.Again, during this course, we could offer all participants the chance to practise their skills on the VirtaMed HystSim, an advanced virtual reality hysteroscopy simulator and excellent teaching tool.
