SAGES Postgraduate Course III
Top to Bottom: Colon
Time: 2:00 - 5:30 PM
Duration of Course: Half Day
Course Co-Chairs: Anthony Senagore, MD & Howard Ross,
MD
Course Description:
Laparoscopic colectomy increasingly plays an expanding
role in the surgical treatment of colon and rectal disease. This course explores
the evidence
for applying laparoscopic techniques to the surgical management of both benign
and malignant diseases of the colon and rectum. The colon course has been
designed to provide participants with
evidence based analysis of laparoscopic approaches to colon cancer, inflammatory
bowel disease, diverticulitis and rectal prolapse. New technologies and management
paradigms that may represent the future of colon and rectal surgery will
be highlighted.
Course Objectives:
Participants in this course will:
- Review the current status of laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer
- Learn the techniques that enable an appropriate laparoscopic colectomy for cancer to be performed
- Gain cognition of how radiofrequency ablation can improve the treatment of the patient with hepatic metastases
- Analyze outcome data on laparoscopic colectomy for diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, rectal prolapse and ulcerative colitis
- Explore how hand assisted techniques can facilitate the application of laparoscopic surgery to the broad spectrum of colon and rectal disease
- Examine the financial implications of laparoscopic colon resection
- Wonder in the possibilities of applying robotics to colon and rectal surgery
- Investigate whether critical pathway utilization optimizes care of the laparoscopic colectomy patient
