Between November 11 and 15, the 33rd Panhellenic Congress of Surgery took place at the Megaron Athens International Conference Centre. Since this is the most prominent medical event in the field of surgery in Greece, the congress gathered more than 1700 local and international attendees.

An integral part of the congress was the Training Village by Ethicon, part of the Johnson and Johnson family, from November 12-14, which offered the opportunity to try different cutting-edge laparoscopic surgery training boxes. Our BoxLap team participated in this event to show how our training kit works and highlight the potential for further surgical practice and improvement by working with diverse laparoscopic training modules. Throughout the three-day duration of the Training Village, many participants signed up, came in contact with our training system, and thankfully gave us substantial feedback. At the same time, this event marked the early beginnings of the BoxLap community since the need for a compact and affordable laparoscopic surgery training box is imperative to medical professionals in Greece and abroad to improve their skills in clinical surgery.

To better grasp our participation at the event, check out the snapshots from those days below.
