Course information

In collaboration with the Medical Student Association of ETH Zürich (MESA) , this full-day hands-on training event by YourAnastomosis offers a next-level experience in gradual surgical education. Participants can freely explore a wide range of skill stations: from basic suturing to advanced cardiovascular and transplant techniques. Real-time scoring and feedback support personalized development, while expert-led workshops ensure a fun, structured, and transformative training day.

Date: November 08, 2025

Location: GLC, Gloriastrasse 37/39, 8006 Zürich

Room: E29.1 & E29.2

Duration: full day deliberate practice

Entire day for running workshops

The day includes three focused workshops. Each session offers hands-on learning with expert guidance.

9:30–11:00 - Basic suturing and technique

Posture, instruments, suture types, Stich placement and technical tips and tricks, simple interrupted and vertical mattress suturing.

12:00–13:30 - Advanced suturing with incision planning and intracutaneous practice

Incision planning and interrupted suturing. Practice of intracutaneous suturing.

14:30–16:00 - Cardiovascular basics with vascular anastomosis and patch plasty techniques

Anastomosis suturing, vascular sutures and rules, End to side vascular anastomosis and basic techniques of patch plasty.

Entire day advance deliberate practice

Throughout the day, participants have open access to training stations featuring home kits, modular wound care, cardiovascular tasks, and procedure-specific simulations. Multiple suturing levels and free practice options support continuous, self-directed learning alongside the structured workshops.

What participants get

  • Explore surgical training like never before: fully hands-on, fully personalised, and unlike any other course.
  • Practice basic to advanced suturing, vascular access, microsurgery, and more across multiple simulator types.
  • Join structured workshops on incision strategy, cardiovascular anastomosis, and wound care throughout the day.
  • Receive real-time scoring and improvement tips from YourAnastomosis’ objective evaluation system.
  • Compete, learn, and grow, top performers win awards, but every participant takes home progress and insight.

FAQs

We completely understand. The course will only begin once the expected minimum number of participants is reached. In the unlikely event of cancellation, you will receive a full refund and additional discounts for future activities.

You will also receive all necessary information through email, media updates, and personal guidance to help you understand how the course works and how to get the most benefit.

Most importantly, if the program does not meet your expectations, you can request a full refund, no questions asked. That’s how YourAnastomosis works: no wasted time, no wasted cost, and no pressure. You are always supported.

The YourAnastomosis platform uses advanced machine learning to evaluate and score your surgical procedures. Here’s how it works: 

  • predictive analysis: the platform simulates your completed anastomosis using morphological assessment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict clinical outcomes and flow characteristics. This generates an objective performance score, ensuring accurate and personalized evaluation of your technique. 
  • personalized feedback: detailed analysis identifies any morphological issues and offers suggestions for improvement, focusing on fluid dynamics and vessel wall characteristics. 
  • anastomosis score: you receive a score that reflects your performance, with specific feedback on lumen morphology and blood flow characteristics.

This course offers a truly unique and high-impact experience for transplant surgeons. Every hands-on session is built around real surgical cases, with detailed performance analysis and personalized feedback that go far beyond traditional workshops or skills labs.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • comprehensive feedback: you will receive structured evaluations based on anastomosis morphology, tissue handling, and flow dynamics derived from computational simulations. Feedback is grounded in validated surgical performance metrics, enabling precise identification of strengths and areas for improvement.
  • individual suggestions: expert feedback includes targeted, practical recommendations to help you improve your technique on the spot.
  • realistic simulation tools: train on high-fidelity organ models that simulate vascular pathologies, anatomical variation, and procedural challenges.
  • augmented reality integration: use interactive AR tools to explore anatomical structures, follow surgical steps, and support postoperative care decisions.

This is not just another workshop. It is a personalized, evidence-based training experience designed to accelerate your skills and decision-making in transplant surgery.
