!!! NEXT COURSE: Monday, September 14th, 2026 !!!
Dear colleagues,
Minimally invasive thyroid surgery is becoming more and more popular. However, even for dedicated thyroid surgeons or experienced laparoscopic surgeons, proper training is necessary to learn this new method.
We are very happy to announce the 7th Viennese cadaver course on transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) on Monday, September 14th, 2026.
The course will also cover new techniques (TOVARA – retroauricular specimen retrieval), transoral parathyroid surgery and central neck dissection. This year we also focus on pitfalls and intraoperative complications, parathyroid autofluorescence, intraoperative neuromonitoring as well as „tips and tricks“ by an international faculty of dedicated endocrine surgeons with broad experience in transoral endoscopic surgery. The Viennese TOETVA-cadaver course takes place under the endorsement of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons (ESES).
Welcome to Vienna!
