At #sages2025 we have learned about emergency colorectal #surgery and expanding MIS #colorectal surgery for complex situations. Middle aged patient presents with peritonitis (midnight) and this CT scan. What do you do? SAGES is in Tampa in 2026!

For close to 20yrs we have debated #robot vs #laparoscopy for #colorectal surgery. Has the future finally arrived? What does the data show? What is best for our patients? Is the cost an issue? SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! #sages2025 St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center

Do you believe the larger size of #robotic trocars compared to #laparoscopic trocars are responsible for increase port related complications (acute, long term hernia, etc)? Intuitive
