For 10 years, the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Saint Pierre University Hospital has offered a series of continuing education classes focused on laparoscopic surgery and related topics to surgeons, nurses and other medical professionals from around the world.

The classes take place in Brussels, but are also transmitted via satellite uplink to medical institutions and universities around the globe.
