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.

Abstract

The approach to local excision of benign and early-stage, well-selected neoplasms of the rectum continues to evolve. We demonstrate here that local excision of a rectal neoplasm using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System can be successfully performed. To our knowledge, this is the first time robotic transanal surgery (RTS) has been used in this manner.
