CME Credit Hours, Symposium: 2.25
There has been significant expansion of new techniques and instrumentation for advanced endoscopic procedures. These techniques broaden our ability to perform more complex procedures in a much less invasive way. As colorectal surgeons, we are positioned to adopt these techniques and lead in this field.
Yet as busy practicing surgeons, it is often difficult to get exposure to state-of-the-art techniques. This symposium highlights new advanced endoscopic techniques and their applications as well as existing platforms.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Explain methods to predict neoplastic lesions of the colon and select the best endoscopic resection technique
- Recognize the available enhanced endoscopic visualization techniques
- Describe the indications and uses for endoscopic submucosal resection for colorectal neoplasia and the associated learning curve
- Explain available techniques for endoscopic closure of the bowel wall, stents and hemostatic agents
