Do not use an arrow or line to make selections. We will return applications that ignore this directive. GENERAL STATEMENTS - Privileges in Adult Surgery are separated into the following divisions: General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. Applicants desiring procedure privileges in more than one division must complete separate forms for each. Procedures designated with an asterisk (*) indicate that Moderate or Deep Sedation may be required. If you do not have Moderate or Deep Sedation privileges, you must invite a Kaleida Health anesthesiologist to participate in the procedure. Procedures are also separated into levels of complexity (Level I-A, Level I-B, Level I, Level II, and Level III), which require increasing levels of education and experience. In general, procedures learned during residency are grouped in Level I-A or Level I and are granted upon evidence of successful completion of residency training. Level II procedures may or may not require evidence of additional training beyond residency. Documentation of additional training and/or experience is required for all Level III procedures.

  • Posterior Cervical Discectomy: an Optimally Invasive Approach to Laterally Prolapsed Cervical Disc
    Original Research Article DOI: 10.18231/2455-8451.2016.0005 Posterior cervical discectomy: An optimally invasive approach to laterally prolapsed cervical disc Shashank Sah1,*, Suresh Kumar Kaushik2, Neeraj Prajapati3 1Associate Professor, Dept. of General Surgery, 2Associate Professor, Dept. of Orthopaedics, 3Associate Professor, Dept. of Radiology, SRMSIMS, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Aim: Posterior cervical discectomy is one of the surgical techniques for management of laterally prolapsed cervical disc causing cervical radiculopathy. This method has remained under-utilized in comparison to the classic technique of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). The study was conducted to evaluate it’s feasibility in terms of ease, challenges and short term outcome. Material and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted over a period of 65 months. Patients visiting to neurosurgery/ orthopedics OPD’s with cervical disc diseases and requiring surgery, were further evaluated on the basis of selection criteria for the feasibility of posterior cervical discectomy. Patients meeting the selection criteria were then operated upon by this approach and the outcome was evaluated. Results: Posterior cervical discectomy is essentially a disc conserving, optimally invasive microscopic technique - best suited for selected subset of patients with laterally prolapsed disc causing radiculopathy. 21 out of 23 patients appreciated the surgical benefit by as early as 48 hours of operation. There were no complications. Conclusion: Posterior cervical discectomy is an excellent direct approach to the diseased segment provided case selection criteria are properly followed. Keywords: Cervical disc, Posterior cervical discectomy, Lamino-foraminotomy, Motion preserving cervical disc surgery Introduction approach has largely remained underutilized and Cervical disc disease is a prevalent and disabling therefore in the present study we evaluated this disorder.

    Stanford University General Surgery Residency Program Surgical Oncology 3 / Endocrine Surgery Rotation Goals and Objectives Rotation Director: Dana Lin, MD Description The Surgical Oncology 3 / Endocrine Surgery rotation offers an intensive experience in the surgical care of patients with endocrine diseases as well as breast cancer and melanoma. Goals The goal of the Surgical Oncology 3 / Endocrine Surgery rotation is to: Gain the knowledge and experience in the evaluation and management of patients with endocrine diseases, breast cancer, and melanoma. The primary goals for the R-3 resident: Develop knowledge and experience in the evaluation and management of patients with endocrine diseases, breast cancer, and melanoma. Acquire and refine procedural and operative skills required in the care of these patients. Direct the post-operative / in-patient care of the patients on the service. Objectives The Surgical Oncology 3/ Endocrine Surgery R-3 rotation has the following objectives: The resident has primary responsibility for the management of all patients admitted to or evaluated by the team in conjunction with the attending surgeon. The R-3 gains knowledge of surgical care through discussion with and teaching from the attending physicians in the inpatient and outpatient setting, attendance at the multidisciplinary endocrine tumor board conference, as well as independent reading. The resident gains operative skills through pre-operative reading and preparation and by direct intra-operative teaching and guidance from the faculty. Residents can expect frequent teaching from members of the team, both at the bedside and during formal and informal sessions. Feedback and teaching is individualized to the needs of the residents.

  • The Complex General Surgical Oncology Milestone Project
    The Complex General Surgical Oncology Milestone Project A Joint Initiative of The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and The American Board of Surgery May 2014 The Complex General Surgical Oncology Milestone Project The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of fellows in the context of their participation in ACGME- accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for assessment of the development of the fellow in key dimensions of the elements of physician competency in a specialty or subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the six domains of physician competency, nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context. i Complex General Surgical Oncology Milestones Chair: Danny Takanishi Jr., MD chair Working Group Advisory Group Russell S. Berman, MD James C. Herbert, MD Laura Edgar, EdD, CAE Lenworth Jacobs, MD Christopher McHenry, MD John R. Potts III, MD Peggy Simpson, EdD Paula Termuhlen, MD Doug Tyler, MD ii Milestone Reporting This document presents milestones designed for programs to use in semi-annual review of fellow performance and reporting to the ACGME. Milestones are knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other attributes for each of the ACGME competencies organized in a developmental framework from less to more advanced. They are descriptors and targets for fellow performance as a fellow moves from entry into fellowship through graduation. In the initial years of implementation, the Review Committee will examine milestone performance data for each program’s fellows as one element in the Next Accreditation System (NAS) to determine whether fellows overall are progressing. For each period, review and reporting will involve selecting milestone levels that best describe a fellow’s current performance and attributes.

  • Radiology Rotation Educational Goals & Objectives for General Surgery
    Radiology Rotation Educational Goals & Objectives for General Surgery The PGY1 Radiology rotation will provide the resident with an opportunity to learn normal and abnormal anatomy, recognize radiographic findings of common diseases, understand the indications for commonly ordered imaging studies, and learn the appropriate use of interventional procedures. The goal of the rotation is to help the resident become competent in the cost-effective use of imaging in the evaluation and treatment of disease. Faculty will facilitate learning in the 6 core competencies as follows: Patient Care and Procedural Skills I. All residents must be able to provide compassionate, culturally-sensitive, and appropriate care for patients in the course of evaluating and treating disease. II. Residents will develop a fundamental knowledge of the components of a history and physical exam, which constitute a viable, billable indication, which will become increasingly important in professional practice in the face of the ever-changing ICD system. III. Residents should become familiar with the indications, contraindications, complications, limitations, alternatives and interpretation of following studies: • R1s o X-rays – chest, abdomen, pelvis/hip, spine, and extremities o GI studies - barium enema, upper GI, esophagram o CT – brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis o MRI – brain o Ultrasound – abdomen, pelvis, renal, lower extremity veins IV. All residents should be able to understand the role of imaging-guidance to facilitate common radiological procedures. All residents
