OGC O05 Linear stapled technique for robotic assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy and gastrectomy: technique, stepwise introduction, reproducibility and outcomes Open
Background Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) for oesophagectomy and gastrectomy is gaining in popularity. Compared to open oesophagectomy and conventional minimally invasive techniques, RAS is associated with decreased rates of complications,…
OGC P55 The learning curve in robotic-assisted thoracic phase of oesophagectomy Open
Background Robotic oesophagectomy has gained increasing prominence in the management of oesophageal cancer, offering potential benefits over open procedures including improved visualisation, enhanced dexterity, and reduced surgical trauma.…
OGC P45 Complications in patients undergoing robotic-assisted oesophagectomy at a single centre Open
Background Robotic-assisted oesophagectomy is increasingly being utilised in the management of oesophageal cancer. The implementation into practice comes with an inevitable learning curve and it is important to ensure that this does not oc…
450. LINEAR STAPLED TECHNIQUE FOR ROBOTIC ASSISTED MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGECTOMY AND GASTRECTOMY: TECHNIQUE, STEPWISE INTRODUCTION, REPRODUCIBILITY AND OUTCOMES Open
Background Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) for esophagectomy and gastrectomy is gaining in popularity. Compared to open oesophagectomy and conventional minimally invasive techniques, RAS is associated with decreased rates of complications, …
Current issues and future considerations for the wider implementation of robotic-assisted surgery: a qualitative study Open
Objectives The effective implementation of a fast-changing healthcare delivery innovation, such as robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), into a healthcare system, can be affected (both positively and negatively) by external contextual factors. A…
The impact of age on long-term survival following gastrectomy for gastric cancer Open
Introduction Gastrectomy remains the primary curative treatment modality for patients with gastric cancer. Concerns exist about offering surgery with a high associated morbidity and mortality to elderly patients. The study aimed to evaluat…
Online patient literature related to oesophageal surgery: the need for greater readability, accreditation and higher quality Open
Introduction Oesophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of death worldwide but is treatable through surgery. As part of the consenting process, surgeons may guide patients towards online information leaflets to understand more about…
A Bibliometric Analysis of Robotic Surgery From 2001 to 2021 Open
Introduction Bibliometric analyses are a method of evaluating the quality of research output in a certain domain. Robotic surgery has made vast leaps during the past 20 years and this paper aimed to assess some of the main areas of researc…
195 Surgical Education Runs A-MOOC! Open
Aim This study aims to review the available surgical Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs), to assess their scope, users, function and to use a quality assurance score to assess whether they are of sufficient quality. Understanding gaps will …
P-OGC50 An Objective Evaluation of Youtube Videos on Oesophageal Cancer using the PEMAT Score Open
Background Studies in patient literature particularly regarding online video literature in all fields are few. Scoring systems for video materials such as the validated PEMAT(Patient Education Material Assessment Tool) have been used befor…
P-OGC51 A Review of Post-Oesophagectomy Benign Anastomotic Strictures Open
Background Benign anastomotic strictures (BAS) are a known risk of oesophageal resection, leading to significant post-operative morbidity and a reported incidence of BAS varies widely from 8.83% to 42.38%. This review aims to assess incide…
