Exit Examinations European view M62 Coloproctolgy course, Huddersfield Lars Påhlman Dept. Surgery, Colorectal unit University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden
2
Training in colorectal surgery Why so important Bad results Changes in treatment The surgeon is important Centralisation ?
3
Training in colorectal surgery What are the goals ? Accreditation of surgeons Accreditation of units Accreditation of training program Audit (national ?)
4
Training in colorectal surgery Which tools ? UEMS - Section of Surgery Division of different specialities Coloproctology EBSQ
5
Training in colorectal surgery European Board of Surgical Qualification = EBSQ
6
Training in colorectal surgery Division of Coloproctology All European countries 2 members / country in the board President + vice President Secretary
7
Training in colorectal surgery EBSQ - Coloproctology ~ 60 surgeons examined From all around Europe What is the value so far ? Not accepted in many countries
8
Training in colorectal surgery EBSQ - Coloproctology Yearly examinations at ESCP Accreditation of units ‘National’ examinations Training program
9
Training in colorectal surgery National examinations Lead by a national group with EBSQ - accreditation Invited examiners from different European countries (EBSQ - accredited)
11
Training in colorectal surgery National training program The Swedish Rectal Cancer experience
12
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Bad results ? Until the end of the 80’s most centres had > 30 % local failure rate !
13
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Changes in treatment (early 80’s) Radiotherapy ! 3 major trials conducted Centralisation ?
14
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Radiotherapy Stockholm-Malmö trial 25 Gy preop. vs surgery alone Uppsala trial 25 Gy preop. vs 60 Gy postop. Swedish Rectal Cancer Trial 25 Gy preop. vs surgery alone
15
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Radiotherapy Preop. superior to postop. Local failure rates reduced from 30 % to 15 % Overall survival benefit
16
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Centralisation ? In all Swedish trials 50 % of the patients were operated upon by a surgeon doing < 1 rectal cancer per year
17
Rectal Cancer in Sweden The ‘Heald’ - wave
18
Rectal Cancer in Sweden Centralisation ! (mid 90’s) Small hospitals were closed Workshops in TME - technique Rectal cancer was not considered a procedure for general surgeons
19
Quality Assurance in Surgery Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Started 1995 after a long discussion regarding centralisation of rectal cancer surgery
20
Quality Assurance in Surgery Rectal Cancer ideal End - points well defined A common disease Surgery an important treatment option
21
Quality Assurance in Surgery Rectal Cancer; end - points Postop. morbidity and mortality Sphincter preservation Local recurrence Survival Quality of life
22
Quality Assurance in Surgery Rectal Cancer; how ? Meticulous audit Independent observer Comparing results with others Quality register
23
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Organisation Six health-care regions Oncology centre in each region All Department of Surgery One responsible surgeon Swedish cancer register
24
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Organisation Each region has it’s own register Regional differences Local research project Same “mini - data base”
25
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Data collection Patients reported at discharge Report to the cancer register by Surgeons and pathologists The oncology centre in the region checks with the cancer register
26
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Data base Preop. work - out Treatment (surgery, chemo, irradiation) Postop. complications Late complications Oncological outcome
27
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Organisation Follow - up At minimum every year Each time something happens If not reported the Oncology centre sends a reminder
28
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Data report Feed - back to surgeons National report every year Data divided for each region Data for the specific surgical department
29
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Data report 1995 - 2004 15,000 patients ( 1,500 yearly) Base - line data Trends in treatment 5-year oncological data
30
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register Important data from 1997 Total number 1,414 48 % anterior resections 24 % abdominoperineal resections 35 % overall postop. complications 10 % re-operations within 30 days 8 % local recurrence rate 2.5 % postop. mortality
31
Survival (all patients) Relative Crude
32
Relative survival Stage I Stage II
33
Relative survival Stage III Stage IV
34
Local recurrence % (1995 - 97) All patientsR 0 surgery
35
Dutch trial - Local recurrence Patients with R 0 (n=1789) 5.8% vs 11.4% p < 0.001 TME alone RT + TME Resectable rectal cancer !
36
Quality Assurance in Surgery How to evaluate results ? Look for changes in trends Are guide - lines followed ? Identify ‘bad’ units Identify ‘bad’ doctors
37
Irrigation of the rectal stump
38
Swedish Rectal Cancer Register 5 years follow-up (1995 - 97) Local recurrence rate Irrigation Ant. Resection Hartmann Yes 96 / 1464 7 % 8 / 71 11 % No 44 / 398 11 % 11 / 115 10 % Unknown 7 / 65 11 % 1 / 17 6 % p < 0.001 n.s.
39
Dutch trial - Local recurrence rate Level from the anal verge 10.5% vs 11.9% p = 0.53 0 - 5 cm 6 - 10 cm11 - 15 cm
40
Local recurrence % (1995 - 1997) 0 - 6 cm7 - 15 cm
41
Quality Assurance in Surgery How to interfere ? Propose training Supervise surgery Introduce a ‘driving - licence’ in rectal cancer surgery
45
Quality Assurance in Surgery Future Mandatory to know the results New generation of patients Only the best unit will survive Quality register the only way !
46
Rectal Cancer in Sweden A tremendous change ! From > 30 % local failure rate at the end of the 80’s in most centres to 8 % in the mid 90’s. Survival improved !
47
Rectal Cancer A tremendous change ! The same change in treatment policy has been found in Norway with similar training and audit
48
