Laparoscopy/Colonoscopy / Ernestine Hambrick Lectureship / Stump the Professor
Objectives:   At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to: (59) understand that there may be a risk of causing dissemination of cancer cells by endoscopic manipulation during colonic stenting; (60) triage hyperplastic polyps according to risk of associated neoplasia and adjust surveillance intervals and treatment plan according to the type of hyperplastic polyp; (61) recognize the limited yields of colonoscopy in elderly patients when utilized for cancer screening or polyp surveillance; (62) evaluate the impact of laparoscopic colorectal surgery on 30-postoperative morbidity, long-term complications and quality of life in a randomized one-institutional trial setting; (63) analyze the frequency of specific complications and factors predictive of postoperative morbidity after laparoscopic versus open colectomy for colon carcinoma; (64) analyze the effect of previous surgery and adhesions on perioperative outcomes of major laparoscopic colorectal surgery; (65) discuss that data from a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial show no evidence of detrimental effects on oncologic outcomes after conversion of laparoscopic colectomy for cancer; (66) compare outcomes of patients undergoing hand-assisted vs. pure laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for diverticulitis; (67) critically evaluate the application of laparoscopic techniques for performing total abdominal colectomies; (68) analyze the differences in open and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy; and (69) identify patient characteristics that contribute to readmission following laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
