Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Excerpt

Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is now well established. Recent studies have shown no difference in survival or oncologic outcomes when laparoscopic surgery is compared to open procedures [1, 2]. The laparoscopic approach does, however, present the surgeon with inherent challenges. Previous abdominal surgery, tumours closer to the anal verge, high body mass index (BMI), and preoperative radiotherapy have been shown to increase the difficulty of laparoscopic procedures in the pelvis [3‐6]. …
