Gastrointestinal surgery can be a lifesaving procedure. It is one of the most common surgeries performed in an emergency setting and emergency surgeons should be competent and confident in opening and closing the stomach and intestines. This webinar covers surgical approaches to the stomach and intestinal tract with a focus on practical tips to give the participant confidence and reduce complications. Topic covered include basic anatomy, gastrotomy and enterotomy techniques, decision making and dealing with complications as well as basic post-operative care.
