Hands-On Course: Lap Colon ADOPT
(Immersion Program with Mentorship)
Chair: Jaime Sanchez, MD | Co-Chair: Peter Marcello, MD
SESSION DESCRIPTION
We all had adequate training during our residencies but there are still challenges that we face on a daily basis, whether
it be the patient’s obesity, dense inflammation, or unclear anatomy that require a conversion to an open procedure. We
may wish to offer a minimally invasive operation but may not have ALL the skill sets to handle a patient’s anatomy,
body habitus, or condition. We have designed this IMMERSION program to allow you to take your skills to the next level.
Prior to the hands on course, attendees will review operative videos of both right and left laparoscopic colectomies
and be assigned mentors with whom they will meet to discuss personalized training objectives. During the course,
attendees will train on cadavers at the MITIE lab, and faculty will use standardized teaching techniques proven
to improve operative learning. This course will have a 1 faculty to 2 students ratio. Following course completion,
participants will continue to receive ongoing mentor interactions including scheduled webinars and video reviews of
their cases. Those learners who have fully participated in the year-long program will have the opportunity to present
their experience as a podium presentation at the 2018 SAGES Meeting.
SESSION OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
• Formulate an operative plan for the performance of laparoscopic left and right colectomy
• Identify proper anatomical planes and isolate anatomic structures for the performance of laparoscopic left and
rioght colectomy
• Competently conduct the technical steps of laparoscopic left and right colectomy

Course Limitation: This course is limited to practicing physicians no longer in training and it is important that
attendees perform at least 20 colon cases per year. With this volume, the likelihood of adopting laparoscopic colectomy
in practice is increased.
