Great talk from @neeldattaMD on surgical considerations in the management of CRC at The Calgary Colonoscopy & Polypectomy Symposium
❤️ his analogy that you can consider the recum as being housed in a prison
I would like to add that the male recum is in solitary confinement

What a blast from the past! Feels like just yesterday we were running around @OttawaHospital covering GI
Perhaps these two GIs, then fellows, were the original inspiration for the pursuit of colorectal sx
So great catching up at the Calgary Colonoscopy & Polypectomy Symposium

Most hospital operating rooms sit empty after 3:30
No need for costly construction, just staffing with nursing & teams
Staff all OR’s to 7:30 pm, & we could complete 50% more cases
Add staffing for some weekend time, and do even more
…all within the current infrastructure….

Note: This thread pertains only to Ethicon needles, which is what we have at my hospital. Other companies have other systems.
Shown here is the chart from the Ethicon manual. Each of the letter combinations has a specific meaning, and most of these make at least some sense.

Important 5-yr data from the #RAPIDO trial:
-Consolidation short-course TNT still associated with lower rates of distant mets/DRTF compared to conventional NACRT
-But SC-TNT also associated with higher rates of breached mesorectum & LRR
