This course will employ a combination of didactic and hands-on training for the management of strictures in the gastrointestinal tract, including those in the duodenum/gastric outlet, esophagus, colon and pancreaticobiliary system. Focused hands-on training will be provided for each of these anatomic areas, demonstrating proper positioning and deployment of stents and dilators. The didactic sessions will focus on the technical specifications, efficacy, safety and financial considerations surrounding stricture dilation and stent deployment in the gastrointestinal tract. Risks, benefits and alternatives to dilation and stent placement will also be discussed in detail.
