Very interesting and thorough review from @uchicagosurgery on how the #Microbiome impacts #ColorectalCancer recurrence after surgery.

IMHO this is a must-read for anyone who cares for CRC patients.

In the future, will we be successfully targeted and manipulating the microbiome for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer?

Socioeconomic and regional disparities shaped timing: earlier umbilical hernia repair was more common among females, rural patients, lower-income families, and nonprivate insurance.

🤖 AI, collaboration & the future of surgical guidelines — all under the spotlight at #ESCP25 #Tripartite 🇫🇷

Wolfgang Gaertner joined the Guidelines Session from the US and shared powerful reflections on global collaboration, evolving methodology, and the role of AI in shaping living documents.

🧠 “AI won’t replace human oversight — but it will transform the way we work.”

Guidelines are evolving — and we’re ready.
