ESGE SHORT-TERM VISITING Young Endoscopists Programme

A Unique Opportunity To Learn, Share & Grow
In Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgery

The European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) is proud to launch the Short-Term Visiting Young Endoscopists Programme (YEP) — an initiative designed to support the next generation of gynaecological endoscopists and strengthen a European network of excellence in minimally invasive surgery.
This compact but intensive training experience, lasting between 2 and 12 weeks, offers young gynaecologists the chance to gain valuable insights into laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and robotic surgery at ESGE selected centres.

Professor Helder Ferreira

“This programme was designed to open doors — to new skills, new collaborations, and new horizons in gynaecological endoscopy…”
