The 6th Russian School of Colorectal Surgery meeting : 5-6 April 2012, Moscow, Russia.

摘要

The capital of Russia these days is a metropolis with 12 million people. Two million people daily enter and leave Moscow! The last time we participated in this meeting was 3 years ago. Our first impression this time was that the meeting had tripled in size under the leadership of Prof. V.P. Tsarkov. He and his team spread their arms and gave a warm welcome to more than 1,500 participants. In the early spring of this year,for the sixth time, the Russian School of Colorectal Surgery offered a very interesting and busy program. The conference was divided into 2 days and two important and fascinating topics. The first day was dedicated to benign pathology of the rectum and pelvic floor. Hemorrhoidal disease was a popular topic for live surgery and problem solving. G. Millito, M. Janic, and S. Regadas demonstrated hemorrhoidectomy with Ligasure, hemorrhoidectomy with monopolar electrocautery, and stapled hemorrhoidopexy. It was concluded that surgical hemorrhoidectomy should be reserved for patients who do not respond to outpatient treatment and those who have large external hemorrhoids, or combined internal and external hemorrhoids with significant prolapse (grades III-IV).
