In part two of the Robotic Thoracic Surgery webinar series, experts will discuss how a collaborative thoracic and pulmonary robotic approach is expanding thoracic oncology. Through increased lung cancer screening and incidental pulmonary nodule programs, the management of 8-10 mm pulmonary nodules in high-risk patients has come to the forefront, especially with the growing adoption of robotic navigational bronchoscopy and its associated greater precision. This webinar will explore best practices and current technology in the pulmonary and thoracic fields, as well as emerging therapies.
An international panel of experts will provide up-to-date insight on the management of patients with prosthetic aortic endocarditis. The discussion is based on a real patient
Hear about the invaluable benefits of becoming an active and involved member of STS, your career journey partner. Involvement opportunities to be discussed include joining a task force or workforce, becoming an advocate on healthcare policy, and developing new tools and resources to improve patient care.
Hear the pros and cons from surgeons who have transitioned from training to their first job at the same institution, and at a different institution. Panelists will also discuss what role your division chief plays during this important transition.
The Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD) continues to undergo improvements to enhance quality of care for patients. In this webinar for CHSD participants, the panel discusses the forthcoming upgrade to version 6.22 and implementation of new STAT scores. The webinar also includes a review of the brand-new Adults with Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) component. The surgeon leaders discuss the goals for the ACHD component, how data will be captured, and what the future holds in terms of risk assessment for this rapidly growing population.
