Advances In Surgery Channel

The universal humanitarian response caused by a disaster has evolved along time and a global surgery policy has been developed since 1960. This unity for mutual aid can catalyse a change to benefit global health, promoting internal organization in LMICs.

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) represents 10% of all cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is the 2nd most common cancer in women and the 3rd most common in men. Geographically, its incidence is higher in developed countries, but the creation of nationwide surveillance programs, the increasing uptake of colonoscopy and the adoption of lifestyle changes at the same time as the continuing progress in developing countries, will lead to a stabilization/decrease of incidence in highly developed countries and increase in developing ones.

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy demands a tailored approach from the surgical team, especially the anesthesiologist and surgeon. Collaboration is key in the attempt to achieve good outcomes and a low rate of complications.

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

A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the inguinal region is mandatory to properly understand the pathophysiology and treatment of inguinal hernias.

Previously we discussed colorectal carcinoma in Mexico. Today we want to discuss the

incidence, treatment and current studies concerning colorectal cancer in the Netherlands.

Health is becoming more, and more linked to technology. Recently, Artificial Intelligence has emerged and gained space and importance in healthcare. In these 2nd International Conferences on Artificial Intelligence by Fundación Formación y Futuro, important aspects of AI and health are discussed, like Genetic Innovation.

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a common and lethal disease. Its incidence and mortality rates vary markedly around the world. Globally, CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females, with 1.8 million new cases and almost 861,000 deaths in 2018 according to the World Health Organization.

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy surgery requires a tailored approach from the surgical team, especially the anesthesiologist and surgeon. Collaboration is key to achieve good outcomes and decrease the complication rate. Deep neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic surgery helps improve surgical space conditions, facilitates the use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum, prevents sudden patient movements, and reduces postoperative pain.

Incisional hernia is a frequent complication after midline laparotomy. We review the latest updates on incisional hernia prevention for midline incisions.

In this Journal club XVII of the IFSO we will review 5 different interesting video cases regarding bariatric surgery, some complications and how to solve them. Dr. Haddad will be our moderator and panelists will be Dr. Kow, Dr. Nimeri, Dr. Ramos and Dr. Dayyeh.

Surgery remains the cornerstone of the treatment of esophageal malignancies. Despite the emergence of chemoradiation, administered in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, complete resection of the tumour and lymphadenectomy remains the gold standard of treatment and offers the best chance for cure. This lecture will review the main types of esophagectomy and their indications.

We’re currently facing some new challenges regarding rectal cancer treatment:

• Implementing strategies for organ preservation.
• Reducing the organ damage caused in treatment.
• Reducing distant metastatic disease Implementing the lateral pelvic lymph node dissection

The total mesorectal excision technique has been the greatest single prognostic factor improving long-term outcome in patients with cancer of the rectum. In this video the definition of the rectum and mesorectum, together with practical examples based on MRI, will be reviewed.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery demands a tailored approach from the surgical team, especially the anesthesiologist and surgeon. Collaboration is key in the attempt to achieve good outcomes and decrease the rate of complications. Deep neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic surgery helps to improve the surgical space conditions, facilitate the use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum, prevent sudden patient movements, and reduce postoperative pain.
