Recent Advances In The Field of Surgery and Their Practical Applications to Bedside Care

November 9, 2024

Brown Surgical Associates Present A Festschrift for William G. Cioffi, Jr., MD

For the past 30 years, William G. Cioffi, Jr., MD, has played a pivotal role in training hundreds of surgical residents, many of whom have become leaders, innovators, top researchers, and expert clinicians in their fields. This academic "homecoming" will provide an opportunity for them to share their vision and achievements in cardiac transplantation, surgical oncology, tissue engineering, vascular surgery, trauma care, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and patient-centered care.

Recent Advances In The Field of Surgery and Their Practical Applications to Bedside Care 

Recent advances in vascular surgery, oncological surgery, tissue engineering, transplantation, and minimally invasive surgery have yet to be widely implemented in bedside care. In the rapidly evolving field of surgery, with increasing specialization and subspecialization, a strong understanding of the latest developments in evidence-based medicine is crucial for optimal clinical practice. This activity will help surgical practitioners, surgeons-in-training, advanced practice providers, and medical students gain knowledge of the most recent advancements in the field of surgery.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, residents, fellows, medical students, and graduate students of surgery.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, the learner should be better able to:

  • Explain the contribution of patient-reported outcomes to improve our understanding of cancer surgery efficacy

  • Discuss the importance of congenital heart anomalies in adults living with cardiac disease, and how it impacts all surgical specialties

  • Describe the evolution of surgical treatment for rectal cancer, the role of total mesorectal excision and the "watch and wait" strategy after successful neoadjuvant therapy
