Over the last several years, two areas of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) that have show explosive growth are laparoscopic foregut and bariatric surgery. This session will focus on these two topics and address current issues facing the perioperative care of these surgical patients. Perioperative professionals should understand the procedures available, their history, preoperative evaluation, operative concerns, recognition and avoidance of complications and comprehensive lifelong follow-up.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the techniques and equipment used in preoperative evaluation &
testing for the GERD patient.
2. Identify technical and functional differences in foregut surgery.
3. List alternative endoscopic methods for anti-reflux surgery.
4. List indication for bariatric surgery and pre-operative preparation.
5. Compare and contrast the steps for restrictive, malabsorptive and combination
bariatric procedures.
6. Explain the importance of a comprehensive bariatric surgical program.
