How do we treat colorectal cancer? In my opinion the best way to learn about the treatment of cancer is to do it through case discussions. Today we're going to learn the treatment of colorectal cancer through four different cases.

Awesome happy you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to this series! Could you review your favorite surgical atlas for junior residents ? Also could you discuss Sabistons vs Cameron’s what their strengths are and what situations they are ideal for(senior vs junior, etc) thanks!
Absolutely! Great idea!
great
Thank you!!
VERY helpful for surgery shelf, thank you for making this very detailed and high yield and easy to understand
Awesome! You are welcome, what other topics do you want to learn about
Still bad with abdominal xrays but - dilated distal colon with a narrowin distal segment is what it looks like to me. Hirschprung would be my 1st, malrotation with volvulus second.
Finally, I found this type of VDO. Thank you for this amazing explanation.
Awesome so happy you enjoyed it!!
I asked 5 different physicians for help with my non healing wound before I made a suggestion and got the help I needed. My wounds are healed now with visits to a wound specialist (which are hard to find)
Many different types of atresia, this was a jejunal atresia with a straightforward tapering anastomosis
Sir pls make video on hirscprung disease
Will do
Surgery is only the option Baby ddt pass meconium last 24 hrs tht is hirshprung disease
Can also be atresia, imperforate anus, meconium ileus, small left colon syndrome…lots of things to think about
Hirsprung disease
Beautiful explanation
Malrotation with volvulus. Take to OR.
Great thought!
Possibly an Illeal atresia and that would require a bypass or a resection
Absolutely correct! Resection and primary anastomosis!
@@citizensurgeon cool 👍
Hirshprungs dse? What is the answer? I wanna know doc
The answer and what I found in the operating room is coming tomorrow
I was born with a large Omphalocele. I have a midgut malrotation. I was born in 1977. They didn't know until I was born.
hirshprungs disease?
Thanks so much, absolutely in the differential diagnosis, but not the answer… I’ll show you what I found in a short tomorrow
Hirschsprungs disease until proven other than
For rectal biopsy
Excellent thought, what else is in your differential?
thanks.... Princess Sorefoot😊
Footwear is so important!
Bowel obstruction
Exactly right!
@@citizensurgeon I work as a PCT at a hospital so my knowledge of x-rays are limited
What would you do next?
Hey man, I missed it on the 21º, but I’m here to watch it now. Great video as always, love and respect from Brazil
Awesome, great book! One of my favorites for sure!
Class that you studied here in RCSI! I’m a teenager living in Ireland and dream is to be a surgeon would you advise going into a surgical course in RCSI or am I better of going to US or Aus? And would you say paediatric surgery is a good option? I haven’t a clue what I would specialise in. Go raibh míle maith agat, is insparáid thú🇮🇪
Awesome! RCSI was excellent for me and I would recommend it to anyone whether you’re staying in Ireland or not. And since I’ve been there the school has evolved and become stronger and stronger so definitely shoot for that! There is a well worn path between RCSI and post grad training in the states which I think is an excellent option for several reasons. Ped Surg is an amazing profession, there are not many Ped surgeons in Ireland and it’s a competitive path but you can do it! ádh mór!
👌👌👌👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much! An oldie but a goodie, gotta make an update!
Hi ,my rest is priority to make delicious breakfast for the family
Love that as well!!
My idea of resting is sleeping in lol and doing the things that I enjoy!
Love that! Sleep in! I like to turn over a few times for sure :)
How do you rest?
Goodness siri- corrections-sterile package abraised hairsparing
Guidelines for hair removal dont seem to be used - it is dr preference but if guidelines and research like cochrane review shows decrease infection by not removing hair then why do we still do it even though they clip hair now instead of shave no one seems to clip it in the correct way and still causes between five and 35% of abrasions skin injuries, micro injuries cuts nicks and erythema then they pat the hair off say the back of the neck for spine surgery and the tape if it is not a steal package has been shown to Carrie anywhere from 5 to 10 different types of bacteria so now you have a braised area you’ve disturbed the follicle you’ve possibly cut or caused and now you use tape on the back of the neck that has bacteria on it stop removing unless it’s just at the surgical site maybe a quarter inch of hair they do hairspray craniotomies they should not be removing hair on the rest of the body
Thanks for adding all of the info, I almost never clip unless it’s going g to be difficult to sew the wound without getting hair in it, if I do I clip it and try to be careful not to cause skin injury, usually this is for pilonidal disease. But you’re exactly right, less is better.
How do we get surgeons to change? I Am particularly interested in cervical spine surgery where they many times clip from to ear to ear and to the occiput it is not only adding a much larger area for infection, but also for patients and recovery the psychological part and the mental anguish of looking freakish for quite a long time is ridiculous, especially since it is not evidence based I would also venture to say, which is a little concerning for nurses and surgical assistants that if we are performing a procedure on a patient that is not a guideline even though the Dr. May direct you to do so it could go against your license because you’re not following the guidelines of the CDC NIH JCAOH WHO and even your own facility- how do we make this change?
And I wonder if you know that according to JCAOH and the CDC, etc if you do any procedure on a patient, you must be trained, and then there must be competency and depending on what piece of equipment you use it states that that equipment must be in serviced by the vendor, and everyone needs to be taught by vendor in a training and then there must be compliance I doubt very seriouslyif this is happening, I’m pretty sure it’s appeared appear here. This is what I do which means not using the clippers correctly.
What a wonderful video. Very educational and in depth. I love this. 💫
Thanks so much I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful!
Easy suture tying setup for under 5 dollars!
Nice details of appendix biology & purpose, but no ROOT CAUSE of how it gets inflamed most likely from wrong nutrition habits. Hospitals never detail ROOT CAUSE of T2 Diabetes either, or they would be telling the truth that the low fat diet wrecks metabolic health & causes gall bladder to go bad due to underuse with the low fat diet. It's designed for high fat meals. Use it or lose it. Grains, other starches, sugar, fruit, "vegetable" seed oils/margarine/shortening all as the majority of calories every day, causes chronic inflammation & disruption of good microbiome & disruption of proper absorption of nutrition. How about the hospitals & doctors teach truth about prevention of appendicitis, diabetes, autoimmune, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, dementia ("T3 diabetes"), fibromyalgia, hormones all whacky, toenail fungus thrives on a low fat high carbohydrates diet in the bloodstream to the toes. I only have toenail fungus on my foot that also has a neuropathy spot & skin problems. 5 years ago I was tested diabetic. Now I tested insulin sensitive bcz I switched mostly off carbs and eat almost only animal foods like animal fats, fatty red meat, fatty fish, actually fresh whole goat milk dairy products, cheese, and I'm WAAAY healthier at 53 than most of my 30s & 40s. First true health information about metabolism was found on the BEAT DIABETES CZcams Chanel, I was desperate to not go onto insulin injections, more meds, and urgent surgeries to save my life.... low carb prevented feet surgery from extreme Plantar fasciitis, uterine hemorrhaging & chronic sharp cervix & left ovary pains, years of breasts pain, extreme arthritis pain, so much more. Now I can walk and run just fine and my hands work again so I got dairy goats again after years off due to health problems. I even have less back pain now than in my similar thin 20s!! It was the wrong foods all along, and no one told me. Thank God for social media giving me easy access to honest caring knowledgeable surgeons & doctors & victims of The Food Pyramid (1970s-still the same terrible low fat mostly starch/fruit/seed oils guidelines...zero human clinical trials to prove it was a good idea for health). Pastured red meat is how to save the planet from pollution and excessive health problems. Look at all the unused grass & weeds.... could raise TRILLIONS more Ruminant animals on those wasted lawns & natural unoccupied areas. The plant based diet was always forced on the peasantry to keep them weaker, more docile or self-destructive, shorter lives, less free, Controlled, while the elite profit off their suffering. Book: WHY WE GET SICK by Professor Benjamin Bikman, LIES I TAUGHT IN MEDICAL SCHOOL by Dr Robert Lufkin, STAY OFF OF MY OPERATING TABLE by Dr Philip Ovadia heart surgeon, DEATH BY FOOD PYRAMID by Denise Minger
Where that book sir?
I didn't know you were a paediatric surgeon specifically! I am also considering that for my residency ☺
It’s an awesome specialty!
Love you. You are a walking Angel
Thank you
You are welcome!
We could use a lot of doctors like you 👍 I had a lot of operations my self and it a good feeling to know that this guy can help you the best feeling in the world a grate guy
I wished I had found you before my surgical internship
Haha! Well you’ve found me now :)
What about alcohol? I mean spirt
Traditionally that is excellent but an extremely high fire risk, need to be very careful about letting all alcohol evaporate or else the vapor under the drapes can cause an explosion when it’s ignited by cautery
And explosions are bad in the OR
😎 Promo-SM
I have had surgery when I was three days old for malrotation volvulus as I was extremely unwell. I’m now 25 went for barium recently as I was unwell and docs said malrotation do they not fix it in the surgery and place it back to normal like how regular people have it . Or is this something they cannot rectify
Unforuntately we can't place is back like normal what we do is a Ladd's procedure where we put the bowel back into a position of "nonrotation" where the duodenum goes straight from left to right and the small bowel follows on the right with the colon placed on the left. This is "nonrotation" or "Ladd's position". Normal bowel has a duodenal c loop that is retroperitoneal and an ascending and descending colon that are also retroperitoneal and fixed. Does that make sense?
@@citizensurgeon yes that makes sense thank you for the explanation
Great Video! I had this as an infant in 1971. I was wondering why I had it and my siblings did not. ( mom was 32 and 34 when she had my siblings) Also I had a boy and a girl and neither had it. ( I was 30 with my first baby) My mom was 19 years old when she had me in 1971. They didn’t think I had it at first because it’s mostly found in boys. We had NO family history of it. I was the first and ONLY one. No one wanted to hold me as I was the pukey baby! Lol
Thanks for sharing! You were the pukey baby for a good reason! Hoping you were held much more when the operation was done!
Many of the people I work with swear by those shoes, when it comes to comfort!!!
Pick up a pair, they may be a little ugly but your pedicures feet will love them!!!!!
I’m BIack!!!! Of course I take care of my damn feet!!! I wear very comfortable shoes!!! I get pedicure every other week!!! So I can run down the halls, or around the compound and stand for long periods on my feet!!! 😂😂😂
Gotta get comfortable shoes! Love it! What is your go to shoe? And how do you balance comfort with style?
So the Mepilex can be used as a secondary dressing with Puracol Fenestrated Plus AG ? If so which one of the Mepilex? The self adherent ?
Yes I’ve used the self adherent mepilex with a sandwich of puracol ag and it has worked quite nicely
@@citizensurgeon thank you so much for getting back with me!!
I’m shortlisted for an academic Emergency General Surgery position. This sounds like a great resource.
Awesome! Good luck I hope you get it! It’s a great book!
Wana a copy?? how I can?
