About this course
The course covers OTSC applications for bleeding and defect closure, stent fixation with stentfix OTSC, and endoscopic full-thickness resection with FTRD. Case discussions are paired with supervised device handling and model practice.
Learning outcomes
- Choose an appropriate OTSC, stent-fixation or resection approach for a case.
- Perform device preparation and supervised deployment tasks on a model.
- Recognize limitations and plan rescue or referral when the intended approach is unsuitable.

Good to know
- Practical times are scheduled group rotations, not individual operating time.
- Places are totals per course, not remaining places. The registration team confirms current availability, and a waiting list opens when a course is full.
- Already registered for the congress? Tell the team which course you want so it is added to your booking.
- After you register, the registration team confirms your place and arranges payment with you.
Assessment
A case-based knowledge check and observed model tasks conclude the course. Any formal FTRD training recognition remains subject to the manufacturer's requirements.
