Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday aged 100.
Fond memories of undergraduate anatomy at @Cambridge_Uni an inspiration and mentor to generations of doctors
May he rest in peace
Great #JournalClub this morning led by our professors @mageefrcs@jiw1374 & brilliantly presented by our research fellow @MoAbosheisha 👏.
We discussed the landmark NEJM study on non-operative management of dMMR rectal cancer with immunotherapy.

Achieved fame at last! I’m on an episode of @BehindTheKnife! I was even allowed to say “Dominate the Day” at the end.
Thanks to everyone at BTK. Such a lovely group of people.

Medical rota gaps are bad enough, but asking doctors to act up to fill those gaps but not paying them the appropriate rate to do so neither values the workforce nor preserves patient safety. Can we address this @TheBMA@wesstreeting@NHSuk@RCSEd@RCSnews
Read our Joint Statement in response to the recently published case series in The Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons England. We call for immediate action to protect surgical training and ultimately the patients we work so hard to care for safely.
The management of severe acute pancreatitis is tough!
The team @DerbyPBunit continues their 📺 series w/ Ep. 2 Laparoscopic Transgastric Necrosectomy.

Let's gooooo @javlatif@ib9994@altaf_awan12! 👍🏻🥇💪🏻
@AhmadAbouAbbas8 Robot especially here expands the capabilities with better ergonomic. Robot can hugely reduce the technical difficulties of conventional laparoscopic surgery. Less techanical demands can definitely increases safety and effectiveness. May even reduce overall health care cost.

Indication:
🔵Large 10 by 16cm collection in the body of pancreas post severe acute pancreatitis with DPDS
🔵Link to our 📝
➡️https://t.co/jRmchjOlRI
Surgical Technique:
🔴Roux limb created 60cm from DJ flexure and used to perform robotic pancreatic cystjejunostomy
🔴Two 8 inch 3/0 PDS sutures
➡️One for posterior layer and another for anterior layer
🔴Posterior suture placed in the anatomical left corner of cyst opening - knot on the outside
➡️before suturing posterior wall, needle taken inside through small bowel at the left corner
🔴Anterior suture placed in the anatomical left corner of cyst - knot on the outside
🔴 Suturing should be performed sequentially to get the best views alternating from posterior to anterior wall
🔴Posterior wall sutured in a continuous fashion to midpoint of cyst wall opening
➡️Bites taken to involve all layers of the bowel and cyst wall
➡️Importance given to follow the curve of the needle
🔴Anterior wall sutured in a continuous fashion to midpoint of the cyst wall opening
🔴Posterior wall sutured to the anatomical right corner of the cyst wall opening and around the corner
🔴Anterior wall continued to meet the posterior suture
🔴Tie both the anterior and posterior suture
Robotic Advantage vs Laparoscopic:
🟢Ergonomics for suturing
🟢Camera stability
🟢Stable third arm
🟢3D enhanced vision
🟢Improved surgeon comfort
