Love to see this call to action that promotes surgical ergonomics for all surgeons - even those with small hands! Crucial to start by advancing diverse individuals into surgical leadership positions. @drcaraking @KhoRosanne https://t.co/XfrhQYMl8x

March is #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, dedicated to advocating for the 190 million women worldwide who suffer from endometriosis. Thank you to Taylor Keefe for sharing her own endometriosis story with us on @GMA - a story not uncommon, but often untold. Reporting by yours truly🎗️

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Board Certified Obstetrician Gynecologist from American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG)! https://t.co/OIDi7mcfTA

This statement reflects that most OB/gyns simply do not know what we can do.

Our division does >98% of surgeries MIS. This should be the standard. The data on laparotomy is clear - higher morbidity and mortality. Should use only for onc and special scenarios.

Surgical sexism is a known evil: female surgeons receive lower pay for the same amount of hours and procedures on FEMALE patients are reimbursed 28% less on average.

There is no reasonable amount of time you could spend doing a Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy that would justify the risks of doing one open.

Patients deserve TLH. If you can’t do one, refer!

As it currently stands, fellowship trained complex pelvic surgeons who take Endo out of the bowels, rectum, bladder, ureters, chest, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus lose money for hospitals by doing the right operation because they are “Gynecologists” and there are no codes
