Dr. Elliot Chaikof visited @NJMSDeptSurgery to give us an amazing grand rounds lecture as well as give us his tips on how to build a successful research career as he did in Boston. It was so great to meet the old boss and fantastic mentor again!
Vicryl Rapide and 'regular' Vicryl sutures look the same and feel the same when you're tying with them...but they are NOT the same sutures and they may NOT be used interchangeably.
Vicryl Rapide will lose its strength in only 7-10 days, unlike 'regular' Vicryl (~3 weeks).
@PipeCabreraV@BBASS_skills@pferrada1@David_ukan@XavierBerardMD@VasculonR@docpark@AWBeckMD Unrelated, but the video shows something I like to point out: it's possible to injure the bowel with the proximal portion of the needle driver. This can occur because the person sewing is usually looking elsewhere. In fact, there's a scuff mark on the bowel from this.
University Hospital was featured in this recent article on @NJBiz. Check out the amazing work of Dr. Daniel Jones, Dr. Bao-ngoc Nasri, and Dr. Danbee Kim! Their continued leadership + expertise.

Here we will go over some examples of these and how to recognize them, and what may happen if sutures that are too tight or too loose are left in place.
