Fictitious Examples are listed below in orange: SAGES 2017 ANNUAL MEETING SESSION DESIGN FORM - SAMPLE SESSION CHAIR: Raul Rosenthal SESSION CO-CHAIR: Daniel Jones SESSION TITLE: PG Bariatric: What Every Safe Surgeon Needs to Know About Bariatric Surgery? SESSION DATE: Wednesday, March 16th SESSION TIME: 8am 1pm SESSION DESCRIPTION (Insert brief 2-3 Sentence Session Description, including who should attend): One in every three Americans is overweight and obesity is now a global epidemic. Nearly 250,000 weight loss operations will be performed in the U.S. this year, and the General Surgeon needs to be comfortable when these patients present to the ED or are seen years later for other problems. PRACTICE GAPS (Your session will address what professional practice gap(s) of the attendees derived from data source(s), see a list of potential data sources below): What is the Problem that you are trying to fix? What is needed to fix this problem? Why does this problem exist? (check all that apply) Example: Leaks after gastric bypass ( 1 %) and may go unrecognized and result in mortality. The SAGES Gap Bank indicates that of 2014 annual meeting attendees interested in the Bariatric learning theme, 28.5% (n=133) wanted to increase effective management of common complications associated with bariatric operations such as bleeding, obstructions, band slippage, leaks, ulcers, pulmonary embolism, strictures and small bowel obstructions. At three-month follow-up, 28.9% of those responding (n=52) reported inability to fully implement the intended practice change. Example: A thorough and detailed review of effective management options, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention. X Lack knowledge X Lack strategies to apply knowledge to practice X Don t do it What data supports the identified problem? Check boxes, describe below. At least 1 data source is required. X SAGES Gap Bank (http://www.sages.org/meetings/sages-practice-gaps/). If prompted for a password, it is SAGESGAPBANK. X Clinical practice guidelines Health Performance Data AHRQ/Government/Snapshots X Research/Peer-reviewed literature Exam performance analysis Epidemiology data Government mandates/legislation Public Health Data Survey of Targeted Learners Expert opinion (committee, consensus of experts) Requirements of State licensing board, Specialty Societies New medical development/technology X Evaluation data/gaps identified by target audience (previous CME eval) Describe data sources here: Early signs of leak include tachycardia according to Hamilton EC, Sims TL, Hamilton TT, et al. Clinical predictors of leak after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity. Surg Endosc 2003;17:679-684 For what reasons might learners resist or be unable to fix this problem? How will you address this in your program? Suturing requires the buy-in of all staff, including nurses & scrub techs. 25% of attendees at 2009 mtg listed staff as a barrier to implementation. This course will include references that attendees can share with their team to prepare them for the change.

QUESTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS (Part 2 Self-Assessment credit will be granted to meeting attendees) Session, Panel & PG Chairs must write 2 questions. The SAGES Program Committee will review and group all questions into Learning Themes. Participants will answer 4 questions per Learning Theme. REQUIREMENTS: a) The question must be clear and succinct (no longer than 2-3 sentences). b) The question must represent an important patient care recommendation. c) Questions must be framed as a case (see example). d) The question must be associated with one of the course objectives. e) There must be 4 answer options with explanations for why they are correct/incorrect. f) The answer must be non-controversial. g) The answer must be supported by high-level literature or SAGES guidelines. h) A reference must be provided that would help the learner answer the question (for re-tests). i) The reference should be formatted as required by the Surgical Endoscopy style guide (see page 6 of this document). EXAMPLE: A 45 year old female presents with virilizing symptoms and an elevated testosterone level. On CT scanning, she has a heterogenous 7cm left adrenal mass with irregular borders and an attenuation value of 40 Hounsfield units. The most likely diagnosis in this patient is: Answer A: Pheochromocytoma Explanation A: Incorrect. Pheochromocytomas may be large and are higher attenuation on CT but do not present with virilizing features and elevated testosterone levels and so would be less likely in this case. However, all adrenal masses should be screened biochemically to exclude a pheochromocytoma before proceeding with adrenalectomy. Answer B: Adrenal adenoma Explanation B: Incorrect. The size, irregular borders, and high attenuation values of this adrenal lesion make a benign adenoma unlikely. Most cortical adenomas have an abundant amount of intracellular lipid and attenuation values are typically 10 Hounsfield units or less. Answer C: Adrenal cortical carcinoma Explanation C: Correct. The features of this adrenal lesion are highly suggestive of an adrenal cortical carcinoma large size, virilizing features and the higher attenuation values on CT imaging. Answer D: Myelolipoma Explanation D: Incorrect. Myelolipomas are benign lesions comprised of fat and bone marrow elements. While myelolipomas may be quite large, they have a characteristic imaging appearance with areas of macroscopic fat and a smooth rounded border. Such lesions are benign, rarely cause symptoms, and do not typically need to be removed. Correct Answer: C Reference: Brunt LM. Minimal access adrenal surgery. Surg Endosc 2006;20:351-361.
