Opening Session Global Surgery and Surgical Mission Work
A primary part of the
mission of the International College of Surgeons is to provide humanitarian
service
to
those in need. During this session, participants will hear from a number of
individuals who will share
their
experiences in Global Surgery. Included will be presentations covering:
Surgical Challenges; Success
Stories; Improving Health Equity; Capacity
Building; Developing a GI Tumor Board and Sustainable Global
Health.
Participants will gain a better understanding of how the covered topics impact
global surgery and
mission work, thus allowing those who
undertake these efforts to provide improved care during these
important
humanitarian projects.

AANOS Annual Scientific
Meeting Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery Part 1
The United States Section
of ICS (ICSUS) is proud to continue its long standing relationship with the
American
Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (the Academy). As such, the
Academy has
designated
the ICSUS Annual Surgical Update as its Annual Scientific Meeting. Working
closely with the
members
of the Academy to determine professional practice gaps and educational need,
ICSUS planners
representing
these two major surgical specialties are developing two days of programming.
Participants
in
this first session will receive valuable updates on the diagnosis and most
advanced treatment options
for
a variety of Neurosurgical and Orthopaedic conditions. Learners will have a
better understanding
about
the latest treatment options for glioblastoma, hydrocephalus and diffuse
idiopathic skeletal
hyperostosis.
Updates on wide awake hand surgery and the use of MIS expandable inter-body
cages
will also be provided.
Learners in this session
will obtain information to appropriately determine whether further more
advanced
educational initiatives are required in order to effectively implement the
provided
information into practice.

Clinical Telemedicine Around
the World:
From
Ad Hoc Medicine to Modus Operandi
Health care professionals
now use telemedicine tools to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a
distance
using modern telecommunications technology. This healthcare delivery system has
changed
dramatically
in the past 10 years, especially since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. It
is now
considered
by many as an extremely important and necessary aspect of healthcare. This
international
panel
will provide the latest information about how telemedicine is being used around
the world.
Upon completion of this
session, learners will have a better understanding of how telemedicine is used
in
other parts of the world as well as here in the United States. Presentation of
the most recent
information
from South Africa and India is planned. The future of telemedicine beyond the
COVID
pandemic
will also be contemplated.

COVID-19: Lessons Learned
During this session the
faculty will present some of the most important lessons that have been learned
about
COVID-19. Included will be anecdotal evidence as well as clinical data covering
the diagnosis,
treatment
and prevention of the disease from the perspective of not only the United
States, but also
other
parts of the world. The effects of
COVID-19 on surgery and other aspects of health care will also be
addressed.
Perhaps most importantly for ICS, as well as other organizations that have an
international
focus,
will be a presentation that addresses how the pandemic will likely impact
global surgery.

Rural Surgery: Training and in
Practice
A hospital in a rural area
typically serves fewer than 50,000 residents and typically over a great
distance.
While
the total number of overall cases may be smaller, the cases that a general
surgeon may need to
address,
are far more varied and will typically include procedures that a specialist
would treat in a
metropolitan
area. During this session, participants will learn about the requirements of a
general
surgical
career in a rural setting. Topics
covered will include: management of several specific issues;
special
training; challenges; simulation and; shortfalls in current training programs.

A surgeon’s life is
typically very hectic. The day-to-day stress of the profession can expedite
burn-out and
cause
other health issues as well. During this session, participants will learn about
several approaches
to
physician well-being. In addition, a primer on retirement planning will be
included for both younger
and
more senior surgeons. Finally, as part of our annual effort to include ethics
related programing a
discussion
of the ethics of a pandemic will be presented.

Arno Roscher Endowed Lecture
Dr. Arno A. Roscher has
been a Fellow of the International College of Surgeons since 1968. Dr. Roscher
has
been
very active in ICS activities throughout his over 50 years as a member. He has
also held numerous
elected
leadership positions at both the US Section and International levels. When he
contributed
$100,000
to the US Section in 2009 the Dr. Arno A. Roscher Endowed Lecture was
established. This year
marks
the twelfth presentation of this special lecture that has featured renowned
physicians presenting
on
varied topics ranging from the Reduction of Health Disparities to Molecular
Genetic Testing to Dr.
Raabe’s
presentation this year on Stem Cell Therapies.

The Influence of Robotics and
Technology
in
Surgery
The use of a robotic
surgery system enhances precision, flexibility and control during an operation.
The
surgeon
can see the site better compared with traditional techniques. Using a surgical
robot, delicate
and
complex procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other
approaches can now be
achieved.
Robotic surgery involves risk and isn't an option for everyone. During this
session, participants
will
learn about the most recent advances and uses of a robotic surgery system in
various specialties. In
addition,
learners will be informed how to implement robotic use in your practice. This session will also
include
a special presentation by the ICS World President.
