Essential-Anastomosis

Essential Gastrointestinal Anastomosis Workshop

Surgical residents are expected to be competent in the safe creation of bowel anastomosis and trouble-shooting stapler-related problems. These skills are not specifically covered in resident teachings. Thus, there is a need to provide a safe environment where such techniques and skills can be learned through didactic teachings and hands-on porcine model simulating human intestines.

Course Objective

The aim of the workshop is to provide a structured curriculum to deepen the surgeon's fundamental knowledge and principles of gastrointestinal anastomosis. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based techniques and practical tips on how to create safe anastomosis and avoid anastomotic leaks.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between the different types of gastrointestinal anastomosis
  
• Gain familiarity with creating upper and lower gastrointestinal anastomoses
  
• Discuss about managing practical problems, including trouble-shooting stapler malfunction, management and treatment of suspected leaks
