Focus on…
Each month the European Society of Coloproctology focuses on a different condition or technique to highlight relevant educational resources, research and videos to our members. Content is produced by leading members of the society with particular expertise in each condition or technique.
Vicent Primo Romaguera, Hospital de la Marina, Spain introduces our focus topic for July.
Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) is a specialised minimally invasive approach for removing benign polyps and early stage cancerous tumours within the rectum and lower sigmoid colon.
Stefan HEM Clermonts kindly shared this recently published study on Quality of Life in Patients following TAMIS. The paper was published in Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery in March 2018.
Dr Elmuhtady Mohamed Said, University of Sheffield, has kindly shared with us this presentation outlining percutaneous endoscopic colostomy (PEC) as treatment for Sigmoid Volvulus. This procedure is particularly for patients who would otherwise require repeat hospital admissions, and multiple endoscopic decompressions.
