Disgusting. Please contact your local representative to stop a nearly 4.5% reduction in Medicare reimbursement for surgeons coming in 2023.

JUST IN: @CMSGov finalizes significant #Medicare cuts that will harm patients’ access to surgical care. Congress must protect patients, stop these harmful cuts and work toward a solution to stabilize the Medicare program. Learn more: https://t.co/H2IQ5qK2A3

@SeanLangenfeld @MarkSoliman Beauty of robotics, granularity of data and ability to have many switches back and forth. Some recent cases with @marina_affi (console 2) with timelines from the MyIntuitive app. First screenshot she was learning more by watching. Second she rocked majority of case.

[Vahagn C. Nikolian, MD @VNikolian]

Proud of @marina_affi for wrapping up month 1 of Chief Year with a strong presentation at #HerniaRounds. Very meta to present a case where we performed a Pauli Parastomal Hernia Repair with @ericpaulimd actively engaged in the discussion! #OHSUHernia
