“…A systematic review of Internet-based surveys of health professionals found response rates, which ranged from 9% to 94% [ 5 ]. The high response rate in the present study could be explained by an e-mail reminder after 2 months followed by information on the project by phone [ 6 – 8 ].…”

Purpose. Anastomotic leakage accounts for up to 1/3 of all fatalities after rectal cancer surgery. Evidence suggests that anastomotic leakage has a negative prognostic impact on local cancer recurrence and long-term cancer specific survival. The reported leakage rate in 2011 in Denmark varied from 7 to 45 percent. The objective was to clarify if the reporting of anastomotic leakage to the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group was rigorous and unequivocal. Methods. An Internet-based questionnaire was e-mailed to all Danish surgical departments, who reported to Danish Colorectal Cancer Group (DCCG) in 2011. There were 23 questions. Four core questions were whether pelvic collection, fecal appearance in a pelvic drain, rectovaginal fistula, and “watchfull” waiting patients were reported as anastomotic leakage. Results. Fourteen out of 17 departments, who in 2011 according to DDCG performed rectal cancer surgery, answered the questionnaire. This gave a response rate of 82%. In three of four core questions there was disagreement in what should be reported as anastomotic leakage. Conclusion. The reporting of anastomotic leakage to the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group was not rigorous and unequivocal. The reported anastomotic leakage rate in Danish Colorectal Cancer Group should be interpreted with caution.

“…Such an approach has been well described in instances whereby a hybrid system was utilized to teach medicine and surgery via the internet [9,21]. Concerted efforts of this scale can of course be very challenging, as the physical logistics matter, but these are not insurmountable as illustrated in numerous studies [22][23][24][25]. Importantly, these efforts will lead to better learning outcome for students [26].…”

Is there an optimal environment in which to learn clinical anatomy? One man’s view

Learning anatomy is essential in medical schools, and even more so for budding surgeons. Much has been discussed regarding the updated curriculum, and whether the pedagogies should be based upon cadaveric, and/or multimedia, or hybrid approaches. Much debate has also been centered on who is best qualified to teach. While all these are important, the setting is also critically important for the medical students and surgical trainees. Therefore the overarching issue is whether all these activities should be held in the dissection room, the operating theatre or the classical "Theatrum Anatomicum"? What are the key experiential learning differences in picking up anatomical knowledge in the various venues listed above? This paper will provide some insights for teachers and students of human anatomy, and some ideas for the future planners and developers of anatomy learning centers internationally.

The transmission of scientific seminars into the Internet represents a new application of modern technologies for teleteaching. We digitally recorded 74 seminars and discussions during the 8th annual meeting of the German Society of Skull Base Surgery with five cameras and eight microphones, and transformed the data live with the real-Producer using a video card.This transferred data stream was sent via ISDN (128 kbit/s) to a real-server at the university, which was used for distribution in the net. The seminars could be called up in the display format of 320x240 pixels with a delay of 3 min (minimum: 30 s, as a function of the connection of the user) at each computer with Internet entrance. Altogether,we registered 3,284 accesses to the presentations following the congress until June 2002. The quality of picture transmission (24-36 kbit/s) and the quality of tone (audio stream: 5 kbit/s) were sufficient to understand the contents of the slide, video or computer presentation. The transmission of scientific meetings into the Internet can increase, with a justifiable technical expenditure, their efficiency by the ubiquitous availability of the information and the extension of the audience.
