An information video for patients having surgery at St Mark’s

This video reports the novel approach of combining single incision surgery and transanal rectal excision for restorative proctocolectomy and formation of iloanal pouch. The technique has the ability to minimise the surgical trauma and allow safe distal rectal dissection especially in males with a narrow pelvis. The video has been submitted and accepted with the related paper by Colorectal Disease Journal in April 2016.

This video demonstrates the technique of laparoscopic anterior resection of rectum with Total Mesorectal Excision (TME). The laparoscopic approach is rapidly becoming the standard procedure for segmental colectomy and there is increasing demand for surgeons who are skilled in this area. The standardisation of Total Mesorectal Excision, or TME as it has become known, has improved outcomes following rectal cancer surgery, mainly due to the reduction in local recurrence. Well-performed laparoscopic …

This video demonstrates the technique of laparoscopic segmental left colectomy. The laparoscopic approach is rapidly becoming the standard procedure for segmental colectomy and there is increasing demand for surgeons who are skilled in this area. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has increased exponentially in the UK and has benefits to both the patient and the institution. When combined with an enhanced recovery programme, significant reduction in length of stay can be achieved, coupled with an …

This video demonstrates the technique of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. The laparoscopic approach is rapidly becoming the standard procedure for segmental colectomy and there is increasing demand for surgeons who are skilled in this area. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has increased exponentially in the UK and has benefits to both the patient and the institution. When combined with an enhanced recovery programme, significant reduction in length of stay can be achieved, coupled with an early …

Professor John Northover retired from St Mark’s in May 2012. The Northover collection records some of his final contributions as a staff member to the life of the hospital. Part 2: Anterior Resection Seminar This seminar aimed to illustrate the process of self-criticism and incremental progress in improving personal surgical technique, rather than simply describing the operation of anterior resection.
