@mpmeara You got it! #AHS19
5 papers every hernia surgeon should know...
1: The mesh rationale; even with less overlap than we consider standard today, use of mesh decreased recurrence rates by half in long-term follow-up. This is why hernia surgeons accept the risk of mesh

Has the @SAGES_Updates webmaster lost their mind or is in-app poetry the next big thing? #SAGES2026

@rbarbosa91 A SAGES Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy committee approved 🧵@rbarbosa91!

Fun fact: the cells heat themselves up when exposed to alternating current (internal proteins rub & create friction), the Bovie tip gets hot from back-heating

@hgok @YouTube 😡This is why I tell my medical students not to watch random surgery videos on YouTube… there are good peer reviewed ones from SAGES and the other surgical societies

I enjoyed hearing @2_ellison’s life story so much! Great pearls of wisdom and slices of history, like this photo of his father and Robert Zollinger’s first ZE resection! (Also, learned I’ve always mispronounced zollinger. It’s a Hard G!) @AmCollSurgeons
