Fear of an AI takeover is not unfounded, but when the day arrives, we still have our secret weapon.

An impenetrable defense that will save humanity from the machines.

Sleep soundly, fellow humans. We are safe.

[Ron Barbosa MD FACS @rbarbosa91]

For decades, surgery departments often had Grand Rounds on Saturday mornings.

Everyone was expected to attend, so that meant almost no weekends off.

Over time, these moved to weekdays but it took the enactment of duty hour limits in 2003 to get rid of the last holdouts. 🧐

𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗴𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗖𝗚

Preoperative Workup:
🔴Preoperative CT imaging
➡️Retrogastric WON
➡️Portal HTN with evidence of portocavernous transformation
🔴Preoperative MRCP
➡️Help distinguish % of necrosis vs. liquid similar to EUS
🔴Symptomatic pt with no evidence of ongoing infection
➡️Suitable for single stage MIS

Surgical Approach:
🟢IOUS essential to identify locality of WON
🟢Anterior gastrostomy
🟢Necrosectomy performed
➡️Single stage clearance of WON
➡️EUS requires multiple sessions with recurrent hits of sepsis between interventions
➡️Visual feedback critical in 🤖 due to lack of haptic feedback
🟢Haemostatic agents applied into cavity
🟢Cystgastrostomy maturation
➡️0 Vicryl suture in figure of 8
➡️Prefer over stapler due to haemostatic benefit of suturing
🟢Two layer closure of anterior gastrostomy
🟢Subtotal cholecystectomy
➡️Fused hepatocystic triangle
➡️Increased difficulty in performing cholecystectomy early in severe acute pancreatitis

Benefit of 🤖:
🔵Improved views of WON cavity
➡️3D enhancement
🔵Wristed instruments
➡️Better articulation for suturing of cystgastrostomy

@Stentingwoman @alrodg @SAGES_Updates Some might find it funny, but there is a real wave pool (just to 6 feet) in Vegas.

And @SAGES_Updates happens to be in Vegas in 2027.

You should pack your board, just in case!
