SAGES Grand Rounds is an innovative, new concept designed to deliver to you current information on topics in the field of minimally invasive surgery. Each episode in this series is dedicated to a specific disease or disorder and is filled with the latest information from leading experts on treatments, techniques, and complications, culminating in case discussions.
Episode and Ordering Information...The SAGES Continuing Education Committee reviews individual courses and institutional offerings to guarantee that these courses meet our standards. If you are looking for additional education between the SAGES Annual Meetings, then these courses are perfect for you.
Surgical procedures broken down into core steps. Each step will reveal one or more methods as performed by the masters of laparoscopic surgery. Specially prepared commentaries are included to enhance your understanding of each Pearl, and to help you develop your own unique set of surgical skills. Currently available:
- Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
- Laparoscopic Right Hemi-Colectomy
- Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy
How is Pearls different from other laparoscopic surgery videos?
A standard narrated surgical video is generally one author presenting one case, or a particular technique, and is edited for time. SAGES Pearls offers multiple examples of the salient points for a technique, from the perspective of multiple expert operators.
This Collection contains the most common minimally invasive procedures performed by general surgeons, as determined by the SAGES Educational Resources Committee. SAGES Top 21 replaces the very popular SAGES Top 14 DVD, with all new videos and commentaries.
