Honored to present our NSQIP study on Robotic Surgery for SBO at SAGES 2026.

Key findings:
• Shortest LOS
• ↓ wound morbidity & readmissions vs open
• No ↑ mortality
• Trade-off: longer OR time

Big thanks to an incredible team and mentors!

State of department address this morning @hopkinssurgery. Remarks from @AndrewMCameron about academic surgery. “We are announcing the ☠️ of the triple threat.” The idea of individuals succeeding in all 3 realms is probably not the best approach, but we can achieve it as a group

[Alejandro V. Garcia, MD @Alex_GarciaMD]

Honored to win the William Stewart Halsted Teaching Award today. Best residents and fellows who I’m blessed to train and learn from. In the words of our chair @AndrewMCameron “Great things ahead!” @hopkinssurgery

Looking forward to starting my Colorectal Surgery Fellowship soon at @BrighamWomens with this great crew!

“The last supper” of chief year with the boss! Bitter sweet for sure. We tried to squeeze all pearls of wisdom out of Dr. Cameron but wish we had more time!!

Halsted Surgery #PictureDay for faculty/residents. It’s my 20th year- way behind Dr. John Cameron who was an intern in 1962. Perfect sunshine over the Hopkins Dome. @AndrewMCameron @JosephSakran @hopkinssurgery

World class leader. We are very fortunate to have @AndrewMCameron at the helm.

[Vincent Obias @vincentobiasMD]

Enjoyed having @leoega for two weeks here @SuburbanHosp . We ate some good food, sipped some good bourbon. And did some robotic surgery. And huge thanks to Suburban Hospital for providing him a hotel while here! Not bad for a surgical rotation! @hopkinssurgery @ASCRS_1

@ajgonza_ @hopkinssurgery @Orioles No better way to thank Baltimore!

[Andres J. Gonzalez Salazar @ajgonza_]

In anticipation of the end of Gen Surg Residency and my departure from @hopkinssurgery. Just finished my first #marathon here in Baltimore w/ future Colorectal Surgeon @leoega. Despite the @Orioles’ loss and the 🌧️ - the people of Baltimore remain charming. #crabs
