Abstract
The uptake of robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) across the UK and Ireland has increased exponentially over the last 5 years. It is anticipated that most ‘conventional’ laparoscopic procedures will eventually move to a robotic approach within a National Health Service that is committed to embracing robotic-assisted surgery. Working in collaboration with the surgical Royal Colleges, a more structured framework is necessary for robotic training. Inequality in robotic access and the impact that RACS is having on current colorectal surgical trainees need to be addressed, The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) has set out a framework to help support training in RACS at basic, advanced and trainer levels. Safer, better-trained robotic surgeons will ensure improved patient outcomes, which is the overriding goal of the ACPGBI.
期刊介绍:
Diseases of the colon and rectum are common and offer a number of exciting challenges. Clinical, diagnostic and basic science research is expanding rapidly. There is increasing demand from purchasers of health care and patients for clinicians to keep abreast of the latest research and developments, and to translate these into routine practice. Technological advances in diagnosis, surgical technique, new pharmaceuticals, molecular genetics and other basic sciences have transformed many aspects of how these diseases are managed. Such progress will accelerate.
Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research relating to the demanding, rapidly expanding field of colorectal diseases.
Essential for surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, gastroenterologists and health professionals caring for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract, Colorectal Disease furthers education and inter-professional development by including regular review articles and discussions of current controversies.
Note that the journal does not usually accept paediatric surgical papers.
