<< Back to Reasons Home
Reason #5: International Faculty Reflecting the Society’s commitment to international outreach, the SSAT scientific sessions feature renowned overseas faculty. Meet those who are part of the two half-day, separately ticketed Postgraduate/Maintenance of Certification Courses.
Professor Brice Gayet, MD, PhD, obtained a degree in general anatomy and organogenesis in 1977 followed by a medical degree in 1980. He then obtained a diploma in computer science from the Jussieu Faculty of Science at the University of Paris. He was at the forefront of laparoscopy in the end-1980s and with Pr Guy Vallancien helped to create the European School of Surgery in Paris which is dedicated to training surgeons in laparoscopy. Dr Gayet is Professor at University Paris Descartes and was Professor of Anatomy before becoming Professor of Digestive Surgery and the Head of the Department of Digestive Pathology at the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris, France. In 1992 he created this inter-disciplinary department by integrating gastroenterologists, endoscopists and surgeons specialized in treating patients with digestive diseases. This department has become world renowned in multi-disciplinary disease management that focused on treating patients with complex gastrointestinal (500 proctectomies, 400 esophagectomies by laparoscopy) and hepatopancreatobiliary diseases (over 500 hepatectomies and 250 pancreatectomies by laparoscopy). Additionally, Professor Gayet is the president of the French Society of Endoscopic Surgery (SFCE) and the past president of the College de Médecine des Hôpitaux de Paris, and has been involved with health care at the national level by working as a councilor to the ministry of health in France, Bernard Kouchner. He is a current member of the University National Council (CNU). Pr Gayet is the author or coauthor of more than 415 publications including 180 original articles. He has given over 750 presentations or lectures in his career and has published 110 videos on laparoscopic techniques.
Dr. Olivier Soubrane is Chief of Service of HPB Surgery and Liver Transplant at Beaujon Hospital in Clichy, France. He specializes in: benign and malignant diseases of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas; liver and biliary surgery; laparoscopic liver resection; liver transplantation in adults and children, including split liver; and right lobe and left lateral section live donor liver transplantation. His researches interests are liver regeneration and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and is the author or coauthor of more than 167 articles.
Retrieved from http://www.humanitas.it/en/for-patients/info/our-doctors/394-torzilli-guido: Dr. Guido Torzilli is leading the team of hepatobiliary surgery in Humanitas, and is Professor of Surgery at the University of Milan. He was appointed as Fellow of the Japanese Foundation for Promotion of Cancer Research, Phd at the University of Tokyo, is member of the Europena Surgical Association, and is Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. His academic career started at the University of Tokyo where he acted as Assistant professor of Surgery at the Dept of Hepatobiliopancreatic Surgery chaired at that time by his mentor Prof Masatoshi Makuuchi. His team in Humanitas, although being relatively young with a mean age below 40 years, is one of the leading team internationally recognized in the field of liver surgery having an expertise, of over 1000 hepatectomies, of which more than 500 hundred for metastatic disease, more than 400 for hepatocellular carcinoma and more than a 200 for biliary tumors. This activity is featured by the highest level of safety with an overall mortality of less than 1%, and by the highest oncological complexity of the patients treated with one of the larger series of single session removal of colorectal liver metastases, the highest number of lesions ever removed in a patient in a single operation, and one of the higher rate of advanced primary tumors successfully treated. Moreover, the team is well known for the originality of the skills developed in the recent years featured by new surgical procedure to face safely to tumor presenting high complexity. The team in particular is a worldwide recognized leader in ultrasound guided liver surgery by introducing for the first time the use of contrast agents intraoperatively for better tumor staging and by developing new techniques for saving normal hepatic tissue although clearing the liver from all the tumor whenever their anatomic position and relationship is.
Dr. Robin Kennedy qualified at King's College Hospital, London in 1976 and obtained the FRCS in 1980. His postgraduate training was undertaken in the South West of England, France and New Zealand. As a Wellcome Trust Fellow he spent two years with Professor Henri Sarles in Marseille, this period of research on pancreatitis led to an MS thesis in 1987. In 1992, Dr. Kennedy was appointed as a Consultant Surgeon with a special interest in gastrointestinal surgery in Southwest England. In 2006 he moved to Saint Mark’s Hospital in London to develop a laparoscopic colorectal surgery service. His clinical interests have focused on improving outcomes following surgery: principally developing laparoscopic surgery and Enhanced Recovery care to improve and shorten recovery. From 2006, along with the English Dept of Health, Dr. Kennedy helped initiate and design the National Laparoscopic colorectal training programme, which trained consultant surgeons, and the Enhanced Recovery Partnership Programmme. He lead the Academic Institute at St Mark’s Hospital as Dean for 5 years and current research includes the laparoendsocopic treatment of early colorectal cancer and benign polyps.
Dr. Tom Cecil started as a Consultant colorectal Surgeon in Basingstoke in 2002. He specialises in laparoscopic colorectal surgery and peritoneal malignancy surgery. He is the Clinical Director of the Peritoneal Malignancy Institute in Basingstoke. In 2003 he set up the Peripherique laparoscpic training courses with laboratory skills courses, clinical workshops and hands on clinical immersion courses. He ran one of the Lapco training centres for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. He has been on the faculty of National MDT/TME training programme, the Danish MDT laparoscopic training programme and the European laparoscopic masterclass. He was chair of the CSCCN Colorectal Network Site specific group and lead Clinician for the International Colorectal cancer Improvement programme and now chairs the SCN Wessex colorectal Capacity programme. Since 2011 he has been Clinical Director of the Peritoneal Malignancy Institute in Basingstoke, one of the largest centres in the world in the treatment of peritoneal cancers. He has lectured extensively nationally and internationally on laparoscopic colorectal surgery and peritoneal malignancy and presented and published on both subjects. He is on the Medical Advisory board of Bowel cancer UK. He trained at Southampton University and did junior doctor rotation in the south of England. He was privileged to have a brief period working in MEDSTAR trauma centre in Washington DC and later a short time with Joel Leroy in Strasbourg learning laparoscopic colorectal surgery. His research was split between being the Portsmouth local co-ordinator and endoscopist for the UK Once-only flexible sigmoidoscopy screening trial and a DM on genetic polymorphisms and predisposition to adenomatous polyps. Although we’ve focused on the PG/MOC Courses, be sure to view the full preliminary program for even more overseas faculty, such as those from Argentina, England, and India featured in the SSAT/ISDS Symposium, Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) Protocols in GI Surgery: State-of-the-Art and Future Directions on Tuesday morning, May 19th.
