Building on last week's podcast, Katherine Smith, Specialty Registrar in East Midlands School of Surgery, takes you through a laparoscopic anterior resection for a rectosigmoid cancer. There is a step by step commentary and operative footage of this commonly performed operation, with explanation of the anatomy and each step of the operation. Viewing this in conjunction with the "anterior resection explained" podcast will help you to fully understand anterior resection, whether you are a medical student, core trainee (junior resident), or higher surgical trainee.

Jon Lund continues the series on explaining the principles of operations for colorectal cancer with anterior resection. In this video podcast the underlying principles of surgery for cancer are explained, and the indications for operation, adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer are discussed. The operation is explained with the help of diagrams, as well as indications for formation of defuntioning ileostomy. This podcast will be helpful to medical students on surgical attachments and core surgical trainees (junior residents). Viewing this will help you to understand better what's going in on in a forthcoming operative video podcast of anterior resection, as well has helping in the operating theatre.
