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

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

Thrilled to share our latest paper in @TechColoproctol🎉! We compared the efficacy of different surgical treatments for managing #analfistula through a network #metaanalysis

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.

[Sameer Bhat @SameerB630]

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

[Sameer Bhat @SameerB630]

Interestingly, when considering only recent studies (2015-present), in-hospital mortality was significantly greater 📈 during off-hour presentations

@sharonmjay Thank you so much for the support @sharonmjay!

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

[Sameer Bhat @SameerB630]

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

[Matt Lee @wannabehawkeye]

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?

[Steven D Wexner MD, PhD @SWexner]

“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

[Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery @JTraumAcuteSurg]

Our #systematic review and #metaanalysis has shown similar outcomes between acute cholecystectomy performed out-of-hours vs.in-hours, despite adjusting for confounding patient factors. @drcamwells @SameerB630 @FMHS_UoA #SurgTwitter #MedEd #TraumaSurg

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
