Endoscopy Symposium and Pre-recorded Live Surgery Workshop (Non-CME)

Wednesday, May 4, 7:00 am – 12:00 pm


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 uniquely positioned to adopt these techniques and to be leaders in the field of advanced endoluminal procedures.  This symposium will introduce and demonstrate a variety of new advanced endoscopic techniques and their applications. These newer skills can facilitate intraluminal approaches to intestinal diseases and avoid unnecessary abdominal surgeries and resections.

During this workshop attendees will watch a pre-recorded live surgery.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Become familiar with the available enhanced endoscopic visualization and intra-procedural techniques to predict cancerous risk within a polyp
2. Review the management of malignant polyps to determine which require segmental resection
3. Describe the methods indications and uses for endoscopic submucosal resection for colorectal neoplasia and the associated learning curve
4. Explain the rationale and use of double channel endoscopy to manage advanced colorectal polyps
5. Highlight the techniques of endoscopic submucosal dissection, combined endo-laparoscopic surgery, and robotic endoluminal surgery
6. Review the role of advanced endoluminal therapies in inflammatory bowel disease
