🚀 Our new paper is out @hpbjournal!

We evaluated AI vs. MDT consensus in real-world HPB cases!
📊 Overall agreement: 91.7%
✅ Routine cases: 96.7% match
🧠 Complex scenarios: Human expertise remains vital

🪨 LOW risk (hard pancreas / big duct)
👍 POD 3️⃣ safe early drain removal if DFA < 150 and no POH

🧈 HIGH risk (soft pancreas / small duct)
✋ Wait POD 5️⃣ if DFA < 150 and C-RP is low
🧯 Mitigation strategies always needed!

🔬 New meta-analysis out in @SurgJournal!
Omitting drains after distal pancreatectomy is safe and associated with fewer complications, re-interventions & shorter hospital stay.

Short🧵regarding fascial closure:

I had a lot of fun with my 🧵on LOTR last week, but I must now return to my core content.

Let us briefly review why it is important to avoid catching too much subcutaneous tissue in our sutures when closing fascia.
