Robotic HPB surgery is now available at @Sunnybrook!
We also had our first robotic surgery training session. Has anyone used Twizzlers to practice robotic dissection? If not, I’m calling it the Toronto Twizzler Training Task (T4).
There’s a new HPB surgical oncologist in #The6ix ✨
Welcome @ColinCourtMD back to 🇨🇦 and to our group @Sunnybrook@UofTSurgery@UofTSurgOnc!

A KSAT viewer was driving down north of New Braunfels Avenue near the McNay Museum when he got into trouble with water up to the windows of the vehicle and was swept away. San Antonio Fire Department helped him get out of the vehicle, who is now safe.
After Cruz Jimenez was told he had few options to treat his bile duct cancer, he came to @UTHealthSAMDA for a 2nd opinion. A radiation technique called DIBH helped shrink his tumor and increase his quality of life. | @ColinCourtMD @nbn42

Grateful to our amazing UCLA surgical and medical oncology team (and the support of our external HAIC community) to help initiate our #HAIC program today! 1st pump implanted ✅ Excited to be able to offer this therapy to select patients with metastatic CRC and iCCA @UCLAHealth.
Study of VTE risk after colorectal surg. 60D incidence of symptomatic VTE was 0.17%, none fatal. CRC guidelines don't follow evidence! Post dc thromboprophylaxis improves a number (irrelevant surrogate endpoints) but not clinical outcomes. @GoffredoPaolo
