New @ASCRS_1 CPG on anal cancer under the leadership of @UTMDAnderson ‘s own Craig Messick coming soon to @DCRjournal

We are here because someone opened a door for us. At LSS, this Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor those who helped make our paths possible and reflect on how we can do the same for those coming next. ¡Juntos adelante! #HispanicHeritageMonth #LSS #HHM

With #ACSCC26 fast approaching, it's a good time to share the new @ASCRS_1 2026 #CPG on #Diverticulitis This group effort, hot off the press in the October @DCRjournal issue, was expertly led by @alexhawkinsmd Don't forget to catch us in DC as well at PS102 (This Sunday at 1245, Ballroom C. Hottest ticket in town!) Yes, the CPG discusses omission of antibiotics for uncomplicated disease, but there are so many other great topics: Emergency surgery: -Which patients should receive a protected anastomosis during emergency surgery for peritonitis. -Colectomy preferred over lap lavage for most patients Elective surgery: -Selective approach to elective surgery for pelvic abscesses as well as immunocompromised patients -Avoidance of colo-colonic anastomoses, as this is associated with high rates of recurrence. -The threshold for elective surgery is not based on an arbitrary number of attacks, but instead individualized based on QUALITY OF LIFE! -One third of patients have chronic symptoms after an episode of diverticulitis, and surgery is effective at improving their QOL.

How do clinical practice guidelines translate from evidence to the realities of patient care? In this episode of Gut Check, Meghana and Biddy explore how Clinical Practice Guidelines inform decision-making in colorectal surgery, when there may be reason to deviate from recommendations, and how surgeon judgment helps tailor evidence-based guidance to the individual patient. 🔗 Tune in to hear their discussion: bit.ly/3YzjpvG @PubMEG
