- 25. THANK YOU
Editor's Notes
- Chairmen, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for the opportunity to present our data at this meeting. I am going to talk about educational and clinical outcomes of the National Training programme in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery.
- This was the rationale for the setup of the an educational programme funded by the Department of health. The Programme has a very pragmatic approach as shown on this diagram. Colorectal consultants who successfully applied for the programme and completed a course in LCS will be allocated to one of the 11 training centres across the country. They will perform laparoscopic colorectal resections under the supervision of an expert laparoscopic surgeon until they reach competence, before they embark on solo training in their own hospitals. >> This should ideally reflect their increasing levels of proficiency and can last up to two years. >> At each step of training a structured assessment and audit process is performed guided by Imperial College. In this presentation I would like to concentrate on the outcomes during this phase of supervised training.
- Since the publication of the amended NICE guidelines the benefits of LCS for short term outcomes got official character.
- Nevertheless, considering that the introduction of LCS took place in the early nineties it is striking that the uptake of LCS in this country was very poor. For the period of 2007 only 10% of all colorectal procedures have been performed laparoscopically. There are several reasons for this slow uptake.
- At the same time a meta-analysis, that will be published in the December issue of the Ann Surg, shows that clinical outcomes are not at risk as long surgeons are adequatly supervised during their training period.
- Plotting the overall scores on as CUSUM proficiency gain curves show that on average roughly 25 supervised cases are required before the trainees are recommended for sign off and independent training. It also shows us that different parts of the procedure are learnt at different speeds. >> More importantly, the tool allows us to differentiate between learning curves of different trainees in order to define the time it takes them individually to reach the plateau.
