The International Symposium on Uniportal VATS-Wetlab and Live Surgery took place once again in A Coruña, Spain from 26 - 28th February, 2014.

We would like to thank all visitors who came to us at our distributors' - Disgamedica - booth. We would like to kindly thank Dr. Diego Gonzales Rivas for his professional insight and giving us helpful opinions about our products.

Day 1 - Symposium

On the first day professors and specialists from all around the world discussed the new medical problems and exchanged opinions on the innovative VATS Uniport surgery method, which allows less invasive surgery on the patient.

Our exclusive distributor in Spain - Disgamedica - was present at the Symposium and presented our products at a table booth.

Day 2 - Live Surgery

On the second day of the event the Pioneer Team (Dr. Mercedes de la Torre Bravos, Dr. Diego Gonzales Rivas, Dr. Ricardo Fernandez Prado) planned three live operations with direct transmission to the conference room where all the participants were gathered. The operations were also streamed online and viewers from all around the world could ask questions about the technique, products, and the situation in the operating room. The operated people agreed to their operations being available to the public.

This was an innovative method of an interactive operation. Two cameras were recording the course of the operation - one external and an internal laparoscopic camera.

This particular event was an incredible opportunity to see the first-class surgeon during work and observe his work proccess. Many young surgeons were present and asked many questions regarding the operating process, which gives great hopes for the progress of minimal invasive surgery.


Day 3 - Weblab

The Weblab was carefully planned for a limited group surgeons to gain proficiency in the VATS uniportal minimal invasive surgery method. Every group of trainees was supervised by an experienced surgeon for the best quality of the learning enviroment.

The event was an amazing opportunity to meet first-class surgeons and learn about improved techniques of less invasive surgery methods.
