Minimally invasive surgery has been clearly proven as superior to open surgery and has thus become the standard of care. Traditional minimally - invasive surgery has limitations of loss of rotation and angulation which may present further challenges. Although the robotic platform addresses these limitations, the cost of the robotic platform can preclude its global availability. This program will present an alternative surgical platform which addressed the limitations of traditional minimally - invasive surgery without necessitating the capital outlay required to acquire a robot.

Anastomotic leaks are among the most dreaded complications in surgical practice. Leaks in colorectal surgery operations are more common when a distal colorectal, coloanal, or ileoanal anastomosis is fashioned. The high financial, medical, and functional costs which ensue following anastomotic leaks have been the impetus for continued research into methods to reduce the incidence of or ideally prevent leaks. The faculty of internationally acclaimed experts in this program address the gamut of leaks from incidence and cost to avoidance, diagnosis and treatment.
