Course Overview

Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) Courses

Applied Medical's TAMIS courses train surgeons on how to perform endoscopic local excision of rectal neoplasia. TAMIS enables the resection of benign and malignant lesions in the rectum using an advanced access device along with standard laparoscopic instrumentation.

The course is led by expert TAMIS surgeons and includes a didactic session and a hands-on workshop using animate tissue. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current indications for TAMIS, as well as the procedural techniques and instrumentation used. The program is limited to 14 participants per course to maximize the hands-on experience.
