Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery Video Series

Using 3D graphics and intraoperative video, we demonstrate how to identify and properly name lymph nodes for left-side lung cancer surgery. Accurate lymph node identification is important for all surgeons performing lung cancer operations, including those seeking compliance with Commission on Cancer Operative Standard 5.8, Pulmonary Resection. The Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery (OSCS) Video Series (Cancer Surgery Standards Program Videos) is a companion to the Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery manuals, which help surgeons incorporate evidence-based techniques into practice.

This video highlights the key considerations and technical steps of the dissection of the tissue along the Superior Mesenteric Artery during a pancreatoduodenectomy using evidence-based recommendations. The Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery Video Series, a collaboration between the ACS Clinical Research Program and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, is designed to help surgeons incorporate evidence-based techniques into their practice. The series is a companion to the Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery manuals, which offer evidence-based recommendations for cancer operations.
