A small group of anesthesiologists and surgeons from Coimbra University and Hospital Center became interested in a project developed in northern European countries, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Program. This program is based on training and preparing colorectal surgical patients with excellent results with regard to the decrease of complications, duration of hospitalization and the increase of pa...
Introduction: The benefits of the multimodal Enhanced Recovery After Surgery® (ERAS) program have been described all over the world. The adoption of several perioperative strategies translates into an improvement in the quality of the healthcare provided. The aim of this study was to report the results of the implementation of the ERAS® program for colorectal surgery in a tertiary hospital. Material and Methods...
Introduction and Goals. The correct placement of the pelvic binder is a life-saving skill, albeit rarely taught (1). The change in the teaching paradigm due to the global pandemic, gives us the perfect opportunity to create new teaching tools. Our goal was to create a multimedia teaching tool on the proper way to place a pelvic binder and assess, using a newly developed score (Figure 1) (2,3), this resource dem...

Introdução: O treino de competências técnicas é fundamental para a prática clínica, mas pouco explorado no currículo médico pré- -graduado. Neste contexto, o método de aprendizagem assistida por pares tem surgido como uma alternativa válida para contrariar esta insuficiência formativa. Neste estudo pretende-se avaliar o impacto, nos estudantes, de um programa de aprendizagem assistida por pares em técnicas cirú...
Introduction: Technical skills training is fundamental for clinical practice although poorly emphasised in undergraduate medical curricula. In these circumstances, Peer Assisted Learning methodology has emerged as a valid alternative to overcome this insufficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact on students of a Peer Assisted Learning program in basic surgical skills, regarding technical co...
Background and Objectives: Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) has emerged in the last years as a single procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. In spite of showing good results in weight loss and comorbidities, improvement on a short- and mid-term follow-up basis, data are still lacking regarding long-term outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed the results of SG in our Institution in terms of complications and thera...
