What are the implications of COVID for Pelvic Floor services?

Can better techniques and innovation improve outcome in proctology?
Proctology makes up a significant proportion of the workload of colorectal surgery and yet it does not get the attention it should; a Cinderella component of our workload If done badly it results in unhappy patients and surgeons.If given due attention results can be extremely rewarding.The specialty is so rife with innovation it is difficult to keep track. And yet the evidence base is poor for most. We have 3 International experts to walk us through their practice and give insights to the management of haemorrhoids, fistulae and anal pain and 3 UK panellists to challenge and push for those golden practical tips and tricks.

RCSEd have partnered with ACPGBI to explore how colorectal surgery will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
A variety of topics will be covered that are relevant to recovery and of particular importance to colorectal surgeons.

This webinar will cover diagnosis and management of conditions involving the appendix ranging from the common to the rare and atypical. It will also cover challenging cases, difficulties encountered at surgery, and potential treatment strategies. The presentation will include key aspects of management of early and advanced appendiceal tumours that are relevant to surgeons in training, general, and colorectal surgeons.
