Beginning my next phase of my professional career as a Professor of Surgery. Took 12 years of working, 6 years of training, 8 years of college/med school. Mainly a village of support and help from my partners, mentors, teachers, residents, friends, and especially my family.

Hard to have common metrics. Personally would like to know my conversion rate to surgery over 90 days. Wait times for patients to schedule a visit. Patient mix (new, est, pov). How long they wait in clinic. Would help build a more efficient schedule, adjust access & visit times.

Can any surgeons comment on metrics used in surgical clinics to incentivize process improvement and improved access? We found common metrics like “new patients seen in 10 days%” and “new patient mix” may ring true in medical clinics primarily and dont inspire for surgeons

“Hospitals that introduced RAS for common general surgery procedures were associated with an increase in MIS rates across different patient populations compared with hospitals that did not introduce RAS.”

1/As more 🏥s purchase 🤖s & more surgeons adopt robotic approaches to their cases, it begs the ❓: Did 🤖 truly enable more open cases to be done MIS, or did it just replace laparoscopy but at ⬆️cost? We tried answering this in this @AnnalsOpen📝. A🧵: journals.lww.com/aosopen/ful…

I tell my patients that I’m a “GI plumber” but sometimes end up being one at home! I should stick with my day job. @EmorySurgery @SAGES_Updates

The Gastrinoma Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region between the CBD, duodenum and pancreas in the southeastern retroperitoneum where, according to an urban legend, a number of surgeons are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstance
