On Thursday 12 December at 14:00, Tora Haug defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Clinical Outcome and Surgical Skill Assessment of Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision".
Close to two million people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer globally each year. For patients with colon cancer, a novel surgical approach, laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (LCME), has demonstrated improved cancer-specific survival. However, evidence outside highly specialised centres remains limited, and large cohorts with sufficient follow-up data are scarce.
Despite the growing adoption of LCME, strategies for optimising learning and ensuring adherence to the LCME principles have not been fully explored. This thesis evaluates clinical outcomes following LCME implementation and explores methods for assessing surgical performance during LCME procedures.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in the Aula, Gødstrup Hospital, Hospitalsparken. Please see the press release for more information.
