Dear friends and colleagues,

ESGE is delighted to announce the official launch of the new GESEA4EU project which will expand the offer of standardised training and certification in the important field of Gynaecological Endoscopy


About the Project

Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment (GESEA) is a structured educational programme for Gynaecological Endoscopy providing training, certification and skill advancement leading to surgical competence. GESEA4EU is a two year project supported by the European Union that will standardise the GESEA training offer already provided to surgeons and expand it to meet the training needs of other healthcare professionals including nurses and supporting non-clinical staff.

This innovative cross-border project brings together sixteen partners from eight European countries who will expand the existing GESEA offer in twelve centres to nine new centres in Northern and Eastern Europe.

“The importance of training in endoscopic surgery is undisputed and so the creation of an international project involving 15 different countries is a great source of pride for our society.” Dr. Federica Campolo, GESEA4EU coordinator, ESGE/Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, Italy.

“Preparatory activities for standardising training have started. Our first efforts are going into mapping the diverse simulation training tools, methods and programmes currently employed at GESEA Training and Diploma Centres in the Consortium.” Dr. Istvan Argay, European Academy of Gynaecological Surgery (EAGS)

ESGO/ESHRE/ESGE Guidelines for the fertility-sparing treatment of patients

with endometrial carcinoma

A. RODOLAIKIS, G. SCAMBIA, F. PLANCHAMP, M. ACIEN, A. DI SPIEZIO SARDO, M. FARRUGIA, M. GRYNBERG, M. PAKIŽ, K. PAVLAKIS, N. VERMEULEN, G. ZANNONI, I. ZAPARDIEL, K.L. TRYDE MACKLON

The standard surgical treatment of endometrial carcinoma (EC) consisting of total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy drastically affects the quality of life of patients and creates a challenge for clinicians. Recent evidence-based guidelines of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP) provide comprehensive guidelines on all relevant issues of diagnosis and treatment in EC in a multidisciplinary setting. While also addressing work-up for fertility preservation treatments and the management and follow-up for fertility preservation, it was considered relevant to further extend the guidance on fertility sparing treatment……..

GET UP is a training designed for young gynaecologists

who are in their last year of residency or first year after specialisation.

In 2023 the GET UP will take place in Rome from April 19 till April 22.

Presented by a distinguished European faculty.

No need for septum incision: is it true?

Recordings of the ESGE Webinar

It is generally accepted that septate uterus is related to impaired reproductive outcome. Although septum incision could be applied as a safe and successful treatment option for at least the symptomatic patients (recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility), there is a continuous debate if there is a real indication for treating patients with septate uterus. A recent publication in Human Reproduction opened again the discussion.

Portugal is a country whose mainland is located on the Iberian Peninsula, in Southwestern Europe, and whose territory also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira. It features the westernmost point in mainland Europe and its Iberian portion is bordered to the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north and east by Spain, the sole country to have a land border with Portugal. Portugal is the oldest continuously existing nation state on the Iberian Peninsula and one of the oldest in Europe, its territory having been continuously settled, invaded, and fought over since prehistoric times.


In the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal established the first global maritime and commercial empire, becoming one of the world’s major economic, political, and military powers. Portugal has left a profound cultural, architectural, and linguistic influence across the globe, with a legacy of around 250 million Portuguese speakers, and many Portuguese-based creoles. It is a developed country with an advanced economy and high living standards. Additionally, it ranks highly in peacefulness, democracy, press freedom, stability, social progress, prosperity, and English proficiency.
