1/ First attempt at using radiological data in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry, evaluating mrEMVI as a predictor for recurrence-free survival after rectal cancer surgery. Some 13 hospitals had adequate coverage and evaluable data. https://t.co/fjX7OWMi6B

@HelenMohan1 I do agree with you immensely. More I grow older as a surgeon I learn 100 more ways a cholecystectomy could go wrong!!

Andrew Connolly, surgeon and prev Chair of NZMC, argues in favour of advocacy being not just in the remit of surgeons but a *responsibility*- 'firstly because we are the subject matter experts and secondly because if we don't, who knows what sort of person will?' #RACS24

[Pecky De Silva @PeckyDeSilva]

Great talk on humanitarian responsibility by @Watsoninverness You need to be surgically competent but you also need to be culturally competent. #RACS24

[Rennie Qin @RennieQin]

#RACS24 The #GlobalSurgery community is hypocritical if we fail to respond to the genocide in Gaza, which is the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time creating inequity in access to surgery.

[Dr Ruth Mitchell (she/her/ella) @drruthmitchell]

Medicine is a social science, and politics nothing by it Medicine on a grand scale. #RACS24 #advocacy #activism

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

We are not afraid to talk about Gaza at #RACS24. We are not afraid to advocate against violence, and for peace. We are not afraid to advocate for provision of healthcare. ✊️✊️✊️

Stop promising your patient the seton will simplify the fistula. Silicone setons do not migrate. I challenge you all to repeat this study for your seton! @escp_tweets @DSCRS_NL #colorectalsurgery https://t.co/0wBiQhinfe

#ICYMI Complications after open and laparoscopic right-sided colectomy with central lymphadenectomy for colon cancer: randomized controlled trial
➡️https://t.co/mcQFrchOJx

This study found no significant difference in complications between the two groups. Standardized oncologic right-sided colectomy with central lymphadenectomy along the mesenterial root was performed safely, both open and laparoscopic, with incidence of major complications ranging between 4.6 and 7.9 per cent and no re-operations for anastomotic leakage. Radicality in terms of lymphadenectomy was comparable between the two groups.

I'm not religious. But a friend, one of the most genuine Christians I know, just murmured 'Herod, the king of Judaea, watched his soldiers slaughter the innocents out of fear one would eventually seize his kingdom.' She has tears streaming down her face. 💔😭
