The 19th Annual Minimally Invasive Surgery Symposium (MISS) will offer compelling lectures, surgical video presentations, and lively discussion and debate by world-renowned experts on advanced laparoscopic techniques for managing metabolic disorders, hernia, foregut and diseases of the colon. MISS also offers a special section on Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS).

The 2019 MISS CME conference will cover advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques to achieve weight loss and cure metabolic disorders; repair ventral and inguinal hernia; treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer; and treat diseases of the liver, pancreas, colon, and rectum. Each half-day session concludes with interactive question-and-answer panels. The educational format also includes lectures with videos to describe surgical techniques, debates on controversial subjects, and updates on key clinical trials. MISS 2019 is designed for general, colorectal, and bariatric surgeons with skill sets in laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgery. Surgical residents and fellows are welcome at reduced rates. The Bariatric/Metabolic Program utilizes an interdisciplinary approach and all members of the bariatric team are encouraged to attend, including nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), RNs, and practice managers. This course meets the guidelines as established in the Framework for Post-Residency Surgical Education and Training and is endorsed by the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).
