Advances In Surgery Channel

Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new method to deliver intra-abdominal chemotherapy to improve tissue concentrations. This video will focus on PIPAC outcomes and the current evidence-based data.

Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the biliary tract and also the most aggressive gastrointestinal malignancy. It can be suspected preoperatively but is most commonly an incidental finding during surgery or on pathologic review. Key aspects for its management will be reviewed in this SOC.

Diversion colitis is characterized by mostly asymptomatic inflammation of the mucosa in the defunctioned segment of the colon. To this day, reestablishment of gut continuity is the only curative intervention available. Nevertheless, several pharmacologic treatments and other strategies such as fecal transplantation seem promising.

Parathyroidectomy is defined as the surgery to remove one or more of the parathyroid glands in the patient who has hyperparathyroidism. With the increase in accurate localization studies, a minimally invasive approach is beecoming the standard of care.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become the gold-standard method of performing almost all kinds of surgical interventions in the field of Thoracic Surgery. In this lecture we will show our experience in Vall D’Hebron hospital and the challenges we can encounter when performing this technique.

In today’s Open Classroom we will review the indications, the essential parts and other tips and tricks of the emergency laparotomy.

In this video we will show you the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Surgery, but first, the basics.

This OC aims to introduce and widen your knowledge of the Pringle maneuver (Portal triad clumping) and its history, anatomy, technique, and clinical indications and contraindications. Important structures such as the hepatoduodenal ligament and foramen of Winslow will be reviewed.

Artificial intelligence in medicine has been used in several fields and with different objectives.

To perform pancreatic surgery, as in any other type of surgery, knowledge of the anatomy is crucial. In this OC we review the key aspects of the surgical anatomy of the pancreas as well as some new novel concepts.

In this presentation we will briefly review the main advantages of the robotic approach to bariatric surgery and the training and learning curve in robotic bariatric surgery.

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, with increasing incidence worldwide. Over 80% of patients with Crohn’s disease will require operative intervention. Of these, at least 40% will require reoperation for recurrent intestinal disease. The need for surgery has remained largely unchanged over the past half century.

Step-by-step video of a robotic conversion of a sleeve gastrectomy to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass due to severe GERD, plus gastrectomy of the remnant stomach due to atrophic gastritis.

Clostridioides difficile is an important cause of infective colitis, with only 1% of cases having a fulminant presentation and requiring surgical management. In recent years, due to its high burden of morbimortality, total colectomy has gradually been replaced by diverting loop ileostomy with colonic lavage.

This SOC describes the initial diagnostic and therapeutic approach for peritoneal malignancy due to Diffuse Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma.

The learning curve in robotic colorectal surgery has not been established.
We review the main steps to take in robotic colorectal surgery training.
