Suturing Techniques Course
This hands-on course offers trainees and junior doctors an opportunity to learn the core skills to perform ophthalmic suturing. The course will cover the basics of ophthalmic eye surgery, an overview of microsurgical instruments and the theory of different suturing techniques. Step-by-step video tutorials will guide the participants through their training, allowing them to thoroughly practice the different acts necessary to master ophthalmic suturing.
Each participant will have the opportunity to work at a personal workstation, fully equipped with a microscope and suturing materials. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice their suturing skills on pig eyes (porcine eyes), gaining hands-on experience with real ocular tissue in a controlled, low-stakes setting. Course directors are Dr Hugo Van Cleynenbreugel and Dr Onne Creten from Belgium, assisted by several experienced instructors. Each course will be supervised by two instructors, allowing ample time for questions and personal advice.
