For #UCMCSurgSpirit2022, dug up this pic of part of my intern class & graduating chief class. Amazing group of general, transplant, pediatric, MIS, plastic, colorectal and breast surgeons. Taught me so much & still are close friends/mentors. This is my #WhyUChicagoSurgery pride!

Different drivers of #HCC likely affect differing response to therapies. Entangled with geographic differences in patient accrual, I suspect this explains part of the variability in data across 1st line IO HCC studies. #GI22

@OchsnerPharmacy @BPSweb @OchsnerHealth @MAJ1287 What a superstar group! A pillar of our transplant program, our patients (and doctors!) are so lucky!

@Eric_Vibert @CHBPaulBrousse @APHP @isfgs @ILLS_LAPLIVER @ILCAnews @IHPBA Very helpful. What is the dose and timing of administration of the ICG? This is perfectly timed without washout of background liver. Very nice!

Proud to announce 100% COVID vaccination rate among University of Queensland Ochsner Clinical School students on campus and 100% COVID Vaccination rate among Ochsner Health Residents and Fellows. Young physicians leading by example to end this pandemic and keep everyone safe.

“The ability to perform academic tasks during adolescence is nice to have, but organizing your society around it is absurd. It is not as important as the ability to work in teams; to sacrifice for the common good; to be honest, kind, and trustworthy.” https://t.co/m9e6PxiFca

Game changer for surgical procedures. Surgical planning with digital replica is precise, efficient and improves safety. Huge part of my practice and will be standard of care soon.

[Korak Sarkar MD MHDS FAAN @koraksarkar_M3D]

Advanced visualization in conjunction with #digitaltwins will help clinicians provide more efficient and personalized care by increasingly autonomous and vertically-integrated #healthcare delivery systems. @OchsnerHealth is at the forefront of this #transformation

@shimulshah73 Great family … every transplant is a miracle, but living donor is special. Hope some who read it will consider being donors. Thanks for sharing

@cutitoutPODCAS1 @jbconneely @FlavioRochaMD @SAGES_Updates @shimulshah73 @HalletJulie @drsuswarner @Seanpcleary @hpb_so @HPB_Surgeon @JHawksworthMD These videos are so helpful. One nice option with the robot is that you can control with your 3rd arm grasper (pressure below or pinch), then clutch to other arm. The arm controlling the bleed stays in place perfectly still while you can continue dissection.

@MAbouljoud @shimulshah73 It seems there are two flow issues: stenosis from residual thrombus and diversion of flow through collaterals. Agree with heparin and VAC closure, but maybe IR can help with portal/SMV angioplasty and occlusion of collaterals. PV otherwise looks good.

Tip for surgical trainees (and really all surgeons!). Read every single publication by @JCAlverdy. Especially the perspective pieces. This is brilliant 👇

[SSAT @SSATNews]

The Benefits of Robotic Surgery: Are They Technical or Molecular? A brilliant piece by @JCAlverdy in @JournalofGISurg

Dear Black & Brown people: I know about the poor treatment that our ancestors have received by the health care system. I lecture about it to Med students. I also know the science about the #COVID vaccine. I do this for me, my family, & you.

Got my COVID vaccine ⁦@OchsnerHealth⁩

#1 the science is based on decades of meticulous research
#2 the trials were robust and transparent showing safety and efficacy
#3 COVID is taking lives, destroying our social fabric and wrecking the economy.

I hope you will too!
