Non-CME
Colorectal surgeons are often called upon to manage complex medical and surgical conditions as well as some rarely seen disorders. In addition, suggested diagnostic and treatment algorithms change over time. All surgical specialties have certain topics/diseases the treatments of which remain controversial. Understanding the optimal treatment plan for patients often depends on a physician’s ability to see clarity in these lines of gray.
This session will highlight the strategies of both a group of senior colorectal surgeons as well as a group of physicians newer to the specialty. The session will cover both common and less common conditions, including recognition, diagnostic work up and management of infectious, benign and malignant conditions addressed by our specialty.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the management options of recurrent and complex colorectal disorders as well as rare conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus
- Describe normal anatomic relations of the colon, rectum, and anus, as well as disturbances of these relations in colorectal disorders
