Opening Session Global Surgery and Surgical Mission Work
A primary part of the mission of the International
College of Surgeons is to provide humanitarian service to those in need. During
this session, participants will hear from a number of individuals who will
share their experiences in Global Surgery. Included will be presentations
covering: Surgical Challenges; Success Stories; Improving Health Equity;
Capacity Building; Developing a GI Tumor Board and Sustainable Global Health.
Participants will gain a better understanding of how the covered topics impact
global surgery and mission work, thus allowing those who undertake these
efforts to provide improved care during these important humanitarian projects.

AANOS Annual Scientific Meeting Neurological
and Orthopaedic Surgery Part 1
The United States Section of ICS (ICSUS) is proud to
continue its long standing relationship with the American Academy of
Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (the Academy). As such, the Academy has
designated the ICSUS Annual Surgical Update as its Annual Scientific Meeting.
Working closely with the members of the Academy to determine professional
practice gaps and educational need, ICSUS planners representing these two major
surgical specialties are developing two days of programming. Participants in this
first session will receive valuable updates on the diagnosis and most advanced
treatment options for a variety of Neurosurgical and Orthopaedic conditions.
Learners will have a better understanding about the latest treatment options
for glioblastoma, hydrocephalus and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.
Updates on wide awake hand surgery and the use of MIS expandable inter-body
cages will also be provided.
Learners in this session will obtain information to
appropriately determine whether further more advanced educational initiatives
are required in order to effectively implement the provided information into
their practice.

Clinical Telemedicine Around the World: From Ad Hoc
Medicine to Modus Operandi
Health care professionals now use telemedicine tools to
evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a distance using modern telecommunications
technology. This healthcare delivery system has changed dramatically in the
past 10 years, especially since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now
considered by many as an extremely important and necessary aspect of
healthcare. This international panel will provide the latest information about
how telemedicine is being used around the world.
Upon completion of this session, learners will have a
better understanding of how telemedicine is used in other parts of the world as
well as here in the United States. Presentation of the most recent information
from South Africa and India is planned. The future of telemedicine beyond the
COVID pandemic will also be contemplated.

Dr. Andre J. Crotti was the first President of the US
Section (1937) and the second ICS World President (1938). Dr. Crotti, a
founding member of the College, is credited with the development of the College
motto: Pro omni humanitate
[for all humankind]. Dr. Crotti’s abundant
contributions to the profession of surgery and the growth, success and
prosperity of our United States Section are without question. He will serve as
an admirable example for years to come to all those who are selected to receive
The Dr. Andre Crotti Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession of
Surgery. During this special luncheon presentation, this year’s award recipient
will share his life-long philosophy on education, whether for students,
residents, patients or co-workers.

COVID-19: Lessons Learned
During this session the faculty will present some of the most important lessons
that have been learned about COVID-19. Included will be anecdotal evidence as
well as clinical data covering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the
disease from the perspective of not only the United States, but also other
parts of the world. The effects of COVID-19
on surgery and other aspects of health care will also be addressed. Perhaps
most importantly for ICS, as well as other organizations that have an
international focus, will be a presentation that addresses how the pandemic
will likely impact global surgery.

Rural Surgery: Training and in Practice
A hospital in a rural area typically serves fewer than
50,000 residents and typically over a great distance. While the total number of
overall cases may be smaller, the cases that a general surgeon may need to
address, are far more varied and will typically include procedures that a
specialist would treat in a metropolitan area. During this session,
participants will learn about the requirements of a general surgical career in
a rural setting. Topics covered will include: management of several specific
issues; special training; challenges; simulation and; shortfalls in current
training programs.

Physician Wellness and Ethics
A surgeon’s life is typically very hectic. The
day-to-day stress of the profession can expedite burn-out and cause other
health issues as well. During this session, participants will learn about
several approaches to physician well-being. In addition, a primer on retirement
planning will be included for both younger and more senior surgeons. Finally,
as part of our annual effort to include ethics related programing a discussion
of the ethics of a pandemic will be presented.

ICS activities throughout his over 50 years as a member. He has also held
numerous elected leadership positions at both the US Section and International
levels. When he contributed $100,000 to the US Section in 2009 the Dr. Arno A.
Roscher Endowed Lecture was established. This year marks the twelfth
presentation of this special lecture that has featured renowned physicians
presenting on varied topics ranging from the Reduction of Health Disparities to
Molecular Genetic Testing to Dr. Raabe’s presentation
this year on Stem Cell Therapies.

The Influence of Robotics and Technology in Surgery
The use of a robotic surgery system enhances precision,
flexibility and control during an operation. The surgeon can see the site
better compared with traditional techniques. Using a surgical robot, delicate
and complex procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other
approaches can now be achieved. Robotic surgery involves risk and isn't an
option for everyone. During this session, participants will learn about the
most recent advances and uses of a robotic surgery system in various specialties.
In addition, learners will be informed how to implement robotic use in your
practice. This session will also include a special virtual presentation by the
ICS World President.
