Excited to finally see our work published in @BJAJournals - highlighting the optimum type, method, and timing of administering intraperitoneal #LA for minimising #opioid consumption after laparoscopic GI surgery
Intraperitoneal local anaesthetic for laparoscopic surgery - which method is best? Dubey et al investigate in this new review article

Waikato highlights from day 2 of #ANZSVS23
John Park on palliative care in ALI, Tom Lovelock on the post-Best-CLI world, Chelsea Tong on non-operative AAA management and Sameer Bhat on D-dimer. The future is strong!

The consensus definition of sarcopenia 💪💪💪 was recently updated to emphasize both low muscle strength and mass. Based on this definition, sarcopenic patients had higher postoperative complication rates, higher mortality in hospital and to 3 months, and poorer overall survival after any elective abdominal surgery. Development of targeted exercised-based interventions that minimize sarcopenia may improve prognostic outcomes for patients with sarcopenia.

How do you deal with sarcopenia 💪 before elective cancer surgery !?
🆕 Consensus definition of Sarcopenia as low muscle ‘strength’ and ‘mass’ predicts outcome
🤸♀️ Targeted exercise-based interventions that minimize sarcopenia may improve outcomes

These findings support the need for better prioritisation of limited hospital resources and services during off-hour periods - an important consideration in New Zealand given the recent revamp to our health system through @TeWhatuOra.
Delighted to be able to share the results of our new study, published in @WorldNeurosurg (https://t.co/LvPzJuY7vk)!
We assessed whether off-hour hospitalisations with subarachnoid hemorrhage🧠would be associated with worse clinical outcomes for patients
Further to add- Māori present younger and with more atypical symptoms such as back pain. So education needs to happen to make sure there is appropriate CTA and treatment #RACS22
Delighted to be given the opportunity to present these data at #RACS22. More education on the atypical presentation of acute aortic syndrome in younger Māori and Pacific Islander patients is required, in addition to an equitable risk stratification tool for prioritising CTA
Nice piece of work here on #sarcopenia in #emgensurg
Is sarcopenia a symptom? Is it part of a #frailty phenotype? Does it reflect #nutritional aspects?
Most importantly, is it something we can intervene on, particularly in the acute setting?
“The meta-analysis has shown sarcopenia to provide useful long-term prognostic information following emergency laparotomy.” Very timely study from @ADMacCormick in @SurgJournal https://t.co/0PzMzfmj1y @RACSurgeons @CSSANZ2
Thank you @jamesjin01 🇳🇿 for your excellent publication in @SurgJournal “Lateral sphincterotomy had the highest rates of healing and should be considered as the definitive treatment after failed initial therapy with botulinum toxin or medical treatment.” https://t.co/FH8TKx8yaC
