What a fantastic turnout for our doubleheader! Fans showed up and showed out for our matchup with the Indiana Fever and the @ThornsFC vs the Utah Royals today!

My interpretation:
- downstream consequences of subtotal CCY is generally overestimated & it’s a good bailout strategy when in a pickle.
- but when a completion CCY is warranted, it’s not a simple operation and should be done with appropriate expertise & support.

Your partner sees a pt who has remnant cholecystitis s/p a subtotal CCY last year, and laments that this is an epidemic of the push for more subtotals as a bailout.
We explore this question in our article in @acsJACS & 🧵below.

Great to see that all the efforts from the safe cholecystectomy initiative are paying off with decreased complications and BDI rates.
Message of draining the GB instead of removing it in difficult situations is out there

Some of the most meaningful work is on the ground.
From theory to practice in <24hours 💪. A “We Bring It to You” MIS CBD exploration course executed in rural Missouri at Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare. This 5 surgeon/3 FA group can now offer single-stage care right at home!

Great work by our @SAGES_Updates Safe Chole group to highlight commitment to CVS no matter the platform

At #SAGES2026, one thing was clear:
Management of choledocholithiasis is being redefined - and surgeons are reclaiming the bile duct.
Our residents had 5 abstracts, including a plenary on RCBDE outperforming ERCP. The SAGES ADOPT CBDE course was sold out and wildly impactful.
Another great @SAGES_Updates. Hanging out with my @NYUGSOM_SurgRes crew and catching up with friends and colleagues. The Marks lecture delivered by Dr. Montgomery was special…highly recommend folks checking it out once it’s available on the app!
Want to know the craziest part about insurance company Pre Authorization Denials ?
The insurance company defines the network of providers the patient can use
When they deny care, they are effectively saying "we don't trust the judgement of the doctors we require you to use" 🤯🤯🤯
Big day for our hernia team! Both Dr. Martindale and our fellow Dr. Sandoval had birthdays! Birthday omegas for our international nutrition expert and cake for Amber. Lotto tickets for everyone of course
