Summary

Join Professor Michael Solomon, Dr Kilian Brown and Dr Jacob Waller from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia, for this special four part series on pelvic exenteration surgery for locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. Learn about these ultra-radical procedures which go beyond the traditional TME planes, that we learn during surgical training, and into all compartments of the pelvis.

Episode 1 provides listeners with an overview of the principles of exenteration surgery and preoperative patient assessment and selection.

Each episode in this series features a different international guest surgeon. In episode 2, the RPA team are joined by Dr Elaine Burns from St Mark's Hospital, London, UK.
