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 – at Calgary, Alberta

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….

We need to keep Medicare alive. The evidence shows more surgeries in private facilities comes with serious costs. There isn't the staffing bandwidth. And in both Quebec and BC, such procedures costed 3x as much. UK had higher death rates. We have to scale innovations in the public system.

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.
