Basic Science Forum with ICEL
Thursday, March 14, 2002
Time: 1:00 - 5:00 PM
Duration of Forum: Half Day
Forum Coordinator: R. Lawrence Whelan, MD
Description:
ICEL, the International Conference of Experimental Laparoscopy, is an international society of basic science researchers devoted to the elucidation of the physiologic, oncologic, and immunologic consequences of minimally invasive surgery. The principal goals of the group are to provide a forum for the rapid dissemination of the results of basic science studies and to foster the performance of new and innovative collaborative studies in this field. ICEL members have generated much of the existing basic science literature regarding laparoscopy. This group has met annually for the last 5 years. ICEL's 2002 annual meeting is to be incorporated into the 2002 World Congress. During this joint basic science session, all of the basic science papers of the World Congress will be presented. This session will be moderated by both ICEL and SAGES members. The second day of the ICEL meeting will take place on the Sunday following the World Congress. On this day, other basic science studies and works in progress will be presented. It is hoped that this joint meeting will encourage interested surgical researchers to join the ICEL group and that it will also lead to future combined meetings with both SAGES and EAES.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this event, the participants will have knowledge of the latest data regarding the following topics:
Reviews of the physiologic, immunologic, and oncologic impact of laparoscopy
Cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal effects of C02 pneumoperitoneum
Local and systemic immunologic consequences of minimally invasive surgery.
Port wound tumors; the appropriateness of laparoscopic methods for curative cancer resection.
Systemic (non-port site or intra-abdominal recurrence related) oncologic implications of minimally invasive techniques.
