Summary
European surgical residents seek more support for scientific research and hands-on training. Addressing these needs can enhance professional growth and networking for young surgeons in the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES).
Area of Science:
- Surgical Education
- Young Surgeon Development
- Professional Needs Assessment
Background:
- Post-pandemic challenges impact surgical residency programs.
- The European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) Young Member (YM) Task Force supports surgeons under 40.
- The YM Task Force aims to enhance networking and provide useful activities for young surgeons.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the educational and professional needs of European surgical residents.
- To inform the development of the EAES curriculum for young surgeons.
Main Methods:
- A survey was developed by the EAES YM Task Force to gather residents' perspectives.
- The survey collected demographic data and professional interests.
- Analysis included both semi-automatic and free-text responses.
Main Results:
- 386 residents from 57 countries responded, with 40% aged 31-35.
- Scientific research is crucial for professional growth (56%), but facility support is lacking.
- Fellowships and hands-on courses (27%) are valued educational activities.
- Mentorship, webinars, and social events are important for leadership and networking.
Conclusions:
- The study identified key educational and professional needs of young European surgeons.
- Findings will guide future EAES projects and curriculum development for young surgeons.

Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
