dc.description.abstract | Introduction: There is controversy in minimally invasive colorectal procedures regarding choosing optimal technique between intra-corporeal (ICA) and extra-corporeal anastomosis (ECA). Previous studies recognise the short-term benefits in right hemicolectomy with intra-corporeal approach, however, ICA can result in increased operative difficulty. The aim of this study is to understand attitudes towards teaching ICA in colorectal procedures and how this varies between subspeciality training. Methods: Active members of General Surgeons Australia were contacted through email to participate in a voluntary, unincentivized survey. Demographic details were collected and participants were asked to rate agreement for simulation-based training for increasing adoption of ICA through a Likert scale and when preferences for teaching ICA. Descriptive statistics were completed to describe frequencies and ordinal regression was completed to determine factors for Likert scale question. Results: There were 43 respondents and most participants recognised that ECA was easier to teach trainees and should be taught first. 53.5% of respondents recognised that simulation-based training would assist the adoption of ICA. Surgeons who routinely close bowel or enteric defects intra-corporeally are 354% more likely to show an interest in simulation-based training for adopting ICA, however, surgeons who are not involved in teaching trainees did not show an interest in simulation-based training. Conclusion: There is significant agreement that ECA forms the basis to learn ICA and simulation-based training would assist with the uptake of ICA. However, a multimodal approach, including expanding training avenues and providing financial incentives, would be necessary to enhance the adoption of ICA in colorectal surgery. | en_AU |
