Cutis means "living skin." I am investigating the efficacy of cutis autografts for #hernia repair. Thus far, the data is promising.

AUTOLOGOUS FENESTRATED CUTIS GRAFTS FOR VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR IN PATIENTS WITH OBESITY https://t.co/cyICirpVat
Loved this talk on the future of surgery — standardizing hernia implants, bioprinting tissue, Artificial Intelligence, robotic surgery and who will wield the knife— “the surgeon or the robot” @hernia2021 @AmericasHernia @eurohernias
Preliminary data from ERAS are out… looks like another record-setting year.
The average number of applications received by residency programs is up in most specialties - in some cases, by 30-40% versus 2019.

#DidYouKnow the first attempts at human kidney transplantation were by French surgeon Mathieu Jaboulay inserting an animal kidney into a patient's elbow crease, in 1906.
Later Ukrainian surgeon Yurii Voronoy would try to transplant a human kidney into a patient's thigh, in 1933.
I am using #Semaglutide now with many of my patients:
1. As an alternative to surgery
2. Non-surgery patients
3. In conjunction- 1.75 years after a #gastricbypass or 1 year after a #sleevegastrectomy
4. Preoperative in super #obesity patients
