Description
Intestinal surgery: Principles and Pitfalls Intestinal surgery is commonly performed in practice, but surgical decision-making can be challenging and there is a baseline risk of wound dehiscence that can lead to postoperative disaster. Ronan Doyle of the soft tissue service will review the principles of intestinal surgery from a practical perspective, especially looking at how to minimise the common pitfalls that can occur. He will also discuss the effective postoperative monitoring and care for these patients, so that their recovery is rapid and problems are identified early.
