Committed to enhancing overall patient well-being, the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) today issued a statement on the benefits of laparoscopic obesity surgery. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s decision to share his experience has provided a valuable opportunity for patients to educate themselves and patients are encouraged to review the SAGES Patient Information Guidelines for Laparoscopic Surgery for Severe (Morbid) Obesity at SAGES.org to learn more.

Surgical energy-based devices are used daily in operating rooms around the world yet surgeons are not
formally trained in their adequate and safe use. In response, SAGES and the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE) Task Force have created an online FUSE curriculum. If you are not an expert in the devices you use every day, if you wonder if you could do more to promote safety in the operating room, if most of your knowledge of energy-based devices came from industry…then FUSE is for you!
The FUSE educational program includes an interactive web-based multimedia-enhanced didactic curriculum and an online multiple choice certification exam. The program is designed to certify that a successful candidate has knowledge fundamental to the safe use of surgical energy-based devices in the operating room, endoscopic suite and other procedural areas.
We value your input and want you to participate in the beta testing of this curriculum. The beta testing will include self-study of the FUSE online curriculum and the examination. Your participation is completely voluntary, confidential and free!
The testing will take place at the SAGES Annual Meeting in Baltimore and is yet one more compelling reason to attend! The test will be offered on Wednesday, April 17 – Friday, April 19 from 8am – 5pm daily and is open to all MDs and RNFAs with a minimum of one year OR experience.
To register, please email or call Monique Rose in the FUSE office: [email protected] or 310.437.0544 x149
