    Most patients born with a polyposis condition, including nearly all FAP patients, must eventually undergo a prophylactic colectomy to prevent the polyposis condition from progressing to colorectal cancer. Post-colectomy surgical options include restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (IPAA), subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA), or total proctocolectomy with ileostomy. Understanding which surgical option is appropriate is a complex decision to make and will forever affect the patient’s quality of life.

     

    This webinar will outline the pros and cons of the current colectomy-related surgical options. It will further walk participants through the presenting surgeon’s decision making process. We will specifically cover:

     

    • Colectomy-related surgical options

    • Considerations for choosing the appropriate course of action

    • Establishing a posts-surgical care plan, with emphasis on proper surveillance

    • Patient case studies

    • Potential complications

    • Pathways for surgical consults

     

     

    Target Audience

     

    Clinicians, including primary care physicians and gastroenterologists, physician assistants, and certified gastroenterology registered nurses interested in enhancing their knowledge of polyposis conditions; colorectal surgeons interested in broadening their understanding of polyposis conditions and how they relate to bowel diversions; basic and translational researchers and fellows in the fields of gastroenterology and gastrointestinal oncology; genetic counselors who provide care to patients with polyposis conditions or are interested in expanding their scope of care to genetic bowel cancers.
