James is a specialist registrar in General and Colorectal surgery and NIHR Doctoral Research Fellow in Global Surgery in the NIHR Global Surgery Unit at the University of Birmingham. Since 2012, he has worked in large national and international research collaborative groups to lead prospective cohort studies and randomised trials targeted towards high-priority topics in surgical care. In response to the COVID-19, this has included the COVIDSurg collaborative portfolio which has aimed to improve data driven decision making for patients undergoing surgery during the pandemic. He is undertaking a PhD in clinical trials in Global Surgery with a particular focus on the use of telemedicine for outcome assessment.

Leadership is an essential skill in a surgeon. But leadership qualities can be developed during residency rather than waiting until later in your career. The surgical training process in itself requires initiative and motivation and successful residents must begin to develop leadership qualities during their training. Often finding a suitable mentor either within the department or elsewhere can provide essential guidance.

Efforts in reducing Surgical Site Infection (SSI) rates among colorectal patients are implemented in every perioperative aspect: showering before an operation, receiving a correct mechanical and oral antibiotic preparation, utilizing the proper skin disinfectant, and others. Surgeons and the surgical technique they choose play a key role. Laparoscopic surgery is well known to reduce the SSI rate by minimizing skin incisions and allowing for a closed abdomen surgery. Nevertheless, specimen extraction still represents a potential for SSI at the mini- laparotomy site. Proper wall protection is mandatory especially when dealing with malignant disease. One viable option for further reducing the risk of SSI is to perform a Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction (NOSE). This can be carried out during a colonic surgery (e.g. left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, total colectomy or high anterior rectal resection), by performing an intra-abdominal colonic resection and utilizing for example the rectal stump (t-NOSE) as the extraction site. We here show a laparoscopic intracorporeal double purse stringed anastomosis to restore intestinal continuity. We will discuss the pros and potential cons of this technique in the fight against SSI in colorectal surgery.
