Simulate first
Every technique is practised in a controlled dry lab before it is performed in the operating room. That is not optional. It is the standard.

Hands-On Training Across Every Core MIGS Discipline
Every skill taught at MIGZ follows the same principle: simulate, assess, certify. No shortcuts, no assumptions.
No Consequences for Mistakes
Try new techniques, push your limits, and fail safely. The simulator is exactly where the learning curve belongs.
World-Class Equipment
Two Karl Storz simulator stations valued at €30,000 each. Infrastructure most hospitals and individual surgeons cannot access.
Standardised Assessment
Objective validation through internationally recognised exams: LASTT, SUTT and HYSTT. Competence that is measured, not assumed.
ESGE Certification
Walk away with a certificate recognised across Europe. Evidence of skill that goes beyond a specialisation diploma.
Karl Storz training stations. Real instruments, zero risk.
Every technique is mastered in the dry lab before it's ever performed on a patient. Every instrument is real and surgical-grade.
From Hysteroscopy to Advanced Laparoscopic Suturing.
Four modules covering the full spectrum of minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. Every skill is practised on a simulator before it is ever performed on a patient.
Hysteroscopy
From office hysteroscopy to advanced laparoscopic suturing.
Laparoscopic navigation
Hand-eye coordination and spatial orientation.
Laparoscopic Suturing
The most demanding skill in minimally invasive surgery.
V-NOTES
Vaginal natural orifice surgery with no abdominal incisions.
Three Levels. One European Standard.
MIGZ follows the international GESEA framework exclusively. Every participant progresses through structured levels, assessed at each stage before moving forward.
Foundations course
Introduction to the simulator and core surgical techniques, building the baseline every MIGS surgeon needs before advancing.
Advanced Skills course
Complex scenarios and higher-demand procedures, guided by world-class instructors brought in specifically for this stage.
Certification test
A standardised assessment and final competency check. Pass it and walk away with an ESGE certificate recognised across the world.

Director of MIGZ and former head of the gynaecological operating block at Zadar General Hospital. First V-NOTES surgeon in Croatia.
Dr. Frane Markulić
Chief mentor and education director, responsible for the structure and delivery of every course at MIGZ. ESGE suturing champion.
Dr. Istvan Argay
One of the world's leading authorities on laparoscopic suturing, ESGE board member and coordinator of all GESEA centres.
What Our Participants Are Saying
Surgeons from across the region who completed the MIGZ programme and brought those skills back to the operating room.
GESEA Level 1 in Zadar was an excellent training experience. The instructors were outstanding, providing clear guidance and practical tips throughout the course. I learned valuable new skills in laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, especially knot tying and suturing techniques. A highly recommended course for anyone looking to improve their minimally invasive surgical skills.
Dr. Viviana Matulić
Croatia
I was extremely satisfied with the course. The lecturers were top notch, and most importantly, there were plenty of simulators and time to practice. The balance between theory and hands-on training was excellent, and the atmosphere professional and welcoming throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build real experience in minimally invasive surgery.
Dr. Sandro Gržančić
Croatia
Participating in the GESEA MIGZ Level 1 in Zadar was an excellent educational experience, highly valuable for developing structured endoscopic skills. Under the mentorship of Luka Matak, Frane Markulić, Istvan Argay and Ursula Catena, the training improved my coordination and confidence during my ObGyn residency. Passing GESEA Level 1 was a milestone made memorable by Zadar's setting.
Dr. Stipe Dumančić
Croatia
The Zadar laparoscopy course is unmissable; I highly recommend it to everyone. It laid the foundation for my career and still shapes how I train residents today. The combination of structured curriculum, world-class faculty, and hands-on simulator time set a standard that continues to guide my daily surgical practice and my approach to teaching.

Hello, I am Hazal Kutlucan from Turkiye. I attended the GESEA MIGS Zadar course in 2025. The 3 days were highly beneficial, packed with knowledge and exercises covering basic to advanced skills. Luka Matak and Frane Markulić were very helpful and showed us kind hospitality. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to develop their surgical skills.
Dr. Hazal Kutlucan

I had an excellent experience at the Zadar GESEA School for Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy. The course was exceptionally well organized, and the entire team was professional, welcoming, and highly supportive. The training was of outstanding quality, and I gained valuable knowledge and practical skills throughout the program. Highly recommended to every surgeon.
Dr. Daniel Milkovski
Macedonia
Attending the MIGZ Advanced Course in Zadar was an exceptionally valuable experience. I arrived with only theoretical knowledge of gynaecological endoscopy and very limited practical experience. By the end of the course, I successfully completed all the required tasks in the final assessment. I am grateful to Dr. Matak and Dr. Markulić for their patience toward me as a beginner.
