Activity, organized by physicians Dr. Colom and Dr. Martin, consisted in that health professionals can practise advanced endoscopy, which involve technical difficulties and techniques of management in patients with an artificial anatomical model that simulates the inside of the human body.

The most advanced techniques, that only certain endoscopistas are capable of and that health professionals can practice, include the placement of prosthesis, esophageal, colorectal and Enteral.

The inclusion of the prosthesis is made by endoscopic control through a thread Guide, which introduces after delaying the narrowing of the digestive tract. Thus, at the point of occlusion, prosthesis is released so that it expands spontaneously, causing a strain in the area and being embedded within the body.
