The minimally invasive approach is becoming the standard for a growing number of procedures in all fields of paediatric surgery. This two-day course, organised for the third time after the success of recent years, allows surgeons of all levels to benefit from this formal theoretical teaching, but also and most importantly to have the opportunity to exercise on a wide range of carefully selected models, while exchanging and discussing operative techniques with internationally recognized experts. We are happy to offer you the opportunity to train on the avian model which we developped for neonatal MIS training, and published recently. (Zimmermann, P., Wiseman, A.X., Sanchez, O. et al. The avian model: a novel and cost-effective animal tissue model for training in neonatal laparoscopic surgery. J Ped Endosc Surg 1, 99–105 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1007/s42804-019-00027-8)
