Rome at nightTickets are now available for ESCP’s 6th Regional Masterclass taking place in Rome, Italy, on Monday 19 November.

Taking an in-depth look at Complex Anal Fistula diagnosis and treatment, this full-day session will bring together leading experts and include in-depth explorations of topics such as fistula imaging, evidence in fistula surgery and technical tips for treating complex fistula. 

Each of these teaching areas will be led by multiple experts, with time for discussion built-in. After lunch, delegates can look forward to a panel discussion on recurrent fistula and how to treat it, before the ever-popular consultants’ corner. 

After a short break, the masterclass will end with an afternoon session chaired by ESCP Education committee member, blogger and Chair of the Department of Surgery at Elisabeth-Twee Steden Hospital in the Netherlands, David Zimmerman. This session will cover a range of ‘hot topics’ such as:

  • Strategies for fistulotomy following fistula treatment
  • Saving the sphincter treatment: New options in the hands of colorectal surgeons
  • Stem cells: Present and future
  • Fistulas in Crohn’s disease
  • Management of other fistulas: Rectovaginal
