@RanaHiggins24 @AmericanHernia As a nearly graduated trainee with equal numbers of lap and robotic inguinal, a major factor to me is cost. If it's a small hernia and low BMI patient, I would be willing to do it lap to save money (and maybe time), but any degree of complexity and I'm finding robot block time

Q6: This study did not find any differences in composite scores for surgeon ergonomics between robotic and laparoscopic TAPP repairs, how does ergonomic concerns affect your decision making when choosing an approach? #AHSJC @AmericanHernia

@wenhuimd @AmericanHernia @RanaHiggins24 @MCWSurgery More factors outside of the surgeon direct control with robotics e.g. bedside assistant instrument exchanges, circulator traveling to get other items

Patients with BMI > 40 were excluded in this study population, how may have the inclusion of obese patients affected results, if at all? @MCWSurgery @nychernia @jeffblatnik @IvyNHaskinsMD @AlkhatibHemasat @LTastaldiMD @MikeRosenMD @AmericanHernia

It’s the middle of November. The Michigan football team is right in the thick of the College Football Playoff race. The Michigan basketball team is a top-5 program in America and just signed its coach to a long-term extension. The hockey program is No. 1 in the country. #GoBlue

Sometimes all you need to change a frustrating day is a simple heartfelt ‘Thanks Doc��

A nice little contralateral femoral vein for a disrupted infected common femoral false aneurysm. Balloon inflow occlusion is key to avoid a flank incision when BMI is 45

What a good covid day in the US looks like
—2 million people got vaccinated; rate nearly doubled in 3 wks
—a large drug trial finds significant improved survival (IL-6 blocker)
—200 million more vaccines secured
