Agenda
8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.| Registration – Continental Breakfast
9:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. | Welcome & Introductions
9:15 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. | Surgical Treatment of Pancreatitis
Timothy Nywening, MD
Overview of surgical management of benign pancreatic disease including cystic lesions and chronic pancreatitis.
9:45 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. | GERD to Esophageal Cancer
Christopher DuCoin, MD
30% of the US population has Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). While many are symptomatic, most will thankfully not progress to esophageal cancer. This session will review indications and possible surgical treatment options for GERD. We will then shift and discuss the current endoscopic and surgical treatments for esophageal cancer. The discussion will include the process of working up an esophageal cancer patient and explaining the importance of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy - all in conjunction with operative interventions.
10:15 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. | Challenges in Operative Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Carolina Martinez, MD
Inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, place a large burden on both patients and the medical system. This talk will highlight the epidemiology, common operative indications, challenges in the preoperative, interaoperative, and postoperative management of IBD and strategies to reduce the risk of post-operative complications after surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease.
10:45 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. | Break
11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. | USF Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center: Updates and Future Goals
Jennifer Seminerio, MD
The objective is to discuss the disease state of Inflammatory Bowel Disease including Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease and their current placement in 2022 and beyond, in private practice, community hospitals and academic environments. There will be a synopsis of where USF plans to position itself regionally and nationally within this arena by discussing the USF IBD Center, which is currently under construction, along with the goals of the IBD Division as an entity here at USF. We will conclude by discussing the importance of advocacy in the state of Florida within this disease state, ways in which we can collaborate together and build a better future for these patients.
11:30 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. | Gastroparesis
Joseph Sujka, MD
In this talk, we will discuss the diagnosis of Gastroparesis - how this diagnosis is made, what the subtypes are and what treatments are available. We will also discuss ways to facilitate a team-based approach for treatment of these patients and what proposed benefits this may offer patients.
12 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. | Lunch
12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. | Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Management and Updates
John Jacobs, MD
This session will discuss the epidemiology and the classic endoscopic findings in EoE, the importance of treating both the inflammatory and fibrostenotic components of EoE and compare the efficacy of the different medical treatment approaches in EoE.
1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. | Updated Practical Approach to Diagnosing and Managing Lower GI Dysmotility
Camille Thelin, MD
Lower GI (colonic, anorectal and pelvic floor disorders) affect a significant amount of population and cause significant quality of life distress. These include common conditions such as chronic constipation, dyssynergic defection, fecal incontinence, and rarer conditions such as descending perineum syndrome, rectal mucosal intussusception/prolapse and solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, which we will explore. Then, we will focus on diagnosis, which remains mainly clinical, and which is supported by radiology and/or manometric tools. Finally, we will review current treatment and management options, including novel pharmacologic agents, biofeedback therapy, and neuromodulation therapies.
1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Psychogasteroenterology: The Brain-Gut Connection
Rebecca Klam, PsyD
What is phsychogastreoenterology and what do we know about the brain-gut connection? We will explore that and understand how we can use a practical interdisciplinary approach to digestive disease intervention in this session.
2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. | Innovations in Interventional EUS
Pushpak Taunk, MD
In this session, we will discuss the various disease processes that are treatable by EUS, the efficacy of interventional EUS procedures and compare the efficacy of current approaches versus interventional EUS procedures.
2:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. | Fatty Liver - the Need for Multidisciplinary Care and Review of Updated Guidelines
Sonja K. Olsen, MD
In this talk, we will review the recent guidelines for
diagnosis and management of NASH. The use of non invasive risk scores and
imaging tools to risk stratify patients will be discussed. The importance of a
multi-disciplinary team that includes primary care, endocrinologists, cardiologists,
nutritionists and hepatologists will be explored.
3:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. | Closing Remarks
