🔴Previous open preperitoneal mesh repair for symptomatic right inguinal hernia
🔴Presents with recurrent right inguinal hernia
➡️Likely technical failure as a result of inadequate dissection rather than mesh shrinkage
🔴Decision to proceed to robotic hernia repair with excision of mesh
➡️Robotic platform facilitates precision dissection
🔴Initial dissection above and below the mesh helped identification of anatomical landmarks
🔴Judicious excision of mesh
➡️Tiny disc of mesh left at deep ring where separation attempt appeared unsafe
🔴ICG useful adjunct to confirm the integrity of vas and gonadal vessels
➡️Excellent tool for trainees to appreciate inguinal anatomy

In a decade long analysis of the national inpatient sample, diverting loop ileostomy with antegrade colonic lavage appears to be a safe alternative to colectomy in select patients with fulminant C.Diff. colitis. Although it does not confer a survival benefit, it is associated with lower wound morbidity and does not worsen outcomes even when conversion to colectomy is required.

Older, obese individuals face a significantly heightened risk of thromboembolic complications, including deep vein thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction, after sustaining severe trauma, according to a new large-scale study that was conducted by NYMC faculty, including Bardiya Zangbar, M.D., assistant professor of surgery, lead author of the study, and published in The American Journal of Surgery. https://t.co/lrQlgvy33I #NYMCSOM

A Johns Hopkins robot known as SRT-H removed a gallbladder by itself with 100% accuracy after watching surgery videos.

It identified arteries, clipped ducts, cut tissue, and even adapted when the visuals changed mid-procedure.

It followed voice commands like "grab the gallbladder head" and adjusted in real-time, just like a human trainee.

It exhibited the expertise of a skilled human surgeon, even during unexpected scenarios typical in real-life, medical emergencies.

The surgery was done on a life-like model, not a real person.

TRAUMA LAPAROTOMY. Know it well!

Standard approach:
✔️ Stem to stern (xiphoid to pubis)
✔️ Take down falciform ligament
✔️ Pack all 4 quadrants
✔️ Explore systematically
✔️ Control bleeding and contamination
✔️ Decide: Damage control?
