Complication Management - Surgical Film Festival-Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, various topics related to gynecologic oncology are discussed. The importance of managing bowel complications during surgery is highlighted, with emphasis on gaining control of bleeding and assessing the extent of injury. Techniques such as pressure application, suture passer usage, and balloon catheter placement are mentioned as ways to control bleeding. Gas embolism, a rare but life-threatening complication, is addressed, and immediate actions to stop insufflation and prevent air bubbles from reaching vital organs are recommended. Vascular resection and reconstruction techniques are also discussed, including sub-adventitial vascular dissection, vessel resection and ligation, and reconstruction with grafts or closures. The choice of technique depends on factors like vascular involvement and contamination. The importance of being prepared for vascular complications and having the necessary knowledge and skills are emphasized. The video content also covers topics beyond surgical techniques, such as patient selection, perioperative interventions, and postoperative care. The use of ICG fluorescence angiography for assessing bowel perfusion is highlighted. Additionally, the challenges faced in cancer management in Africa are discussed, including limited resources and training. Efforts are being made to establish cancer units and improve access to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The session aims to provide valuable insights into gynecologic oncology and the ongoing efforts to enhance patient care and outcomes, especially in regions with limited resources.
