SAGES/ASCRS Panel:
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Colorectal Diseases
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Coordinators: Tonia Young-Fadok, MD & Richard Larry Whelan, MD
Description:
This panel is designed for surgeons with an interest in diseases of the colon
and rectum. The focus is on minimally invasive therapies, encompassing laparoscopic,
robotic and endoscopic approaches. The speakers will address pros and cons
of each approach and highlight areas of controversy.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this panel the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the advantages and limitations of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS).
- Demonstrate an understanding of the differences in outcomes and comparative risks of laparoscopic versus perineal repairs for rectal prolapse.
- Recognize the settings in which robotic devices have applications in colorectal surgery.
- Describe the most recent developments in endoscopic manipulation of the lower GI tract.
- Identify the merits of a laparoscopic parastomal repair compared with extra-fascial techniques that avoid laparotomy.

SAGES/Fellowship Council Symposium
Towards the Ideal Fellowship
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Course Director: Gerald M. Fried, MD
Co-Director: Adrian Park, MD
Description:
The symposium is directed to fellowship directors, potential future fellowship
directors, fellows, and those considering a fellowship in minimally invasive
surgery, surgical endoscopy, hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery, or advanced
gastrointestinal surgery. Speakers will address strategies to set up a new
fellowship. Topics will include resources required, educational content,
interaction with general surgery residents, the role of research and opportunities
to obtain an advanced degree.
Objectives:
At the completion of the program participants will:
- Be able to identify resources required for a successful fellowship and how to obtain them
- Be familiar the educational content of successful programs
- Be prepared to address possible conflicts between developing an excellent fellowship experience and protecting the experience of general surgery residents
- Be able to decide whether a formal academic component with opportunity to obtain an advanced degree would be appropriate for the fellowship
