Continuing surgical education
As surgical science advances at an extraordinary rate, all surgeons have a duty to keep up to date to offer their patients treatment based on the latest research.
To support the professional development of general surgeons of all specialties, Continuing surgical education provides a wealth of formal digital courses, specialty digests and much more.
A myriad of skills and qualities are required to sustain a career in this field, including personal sacrifice, dedication and resilience. In this section, surgeons can access a series of publications exploring this important topic.
Laparoscopic reduction of transverse colon and greater omentum from left chest, repair of giant para conduit/diaphragmatic hernia with mesh and colonopexy

A Diaphragmatic hernia following an oesophagectomy is a recognised but uncommon post-operative complication. Surgical repair can be challenging due to the distorted anatomy and prior reconstruction. This video demonstrates a safe and reproducible laparoscopic approach to the repair, incorporating a colonopexy to prevent recurrence.
This patient presented with a symptomatic left diaphragmatic hernia 3 months post-oesophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction. Laparoscopic reduction of the herniated colon and greater omentum was performed. The diaphragmatic defect was fixed with two non-absorbable sutures before placing a biological absorbable mesh over the repaired area to reinforce this closure. A colonopexy was then created to further minimise the recurrence risk.
The accompanying video provides practical guidance on technique and decision-making for surgeons managing similar cases.
