Great paper @ZhiVenFongMD! @SkylarNahiMD @MPorembka just reported our @UTSW_Surgery experience with robot completion CCY. bit.ly/4cwiu5y 21 cases in past 3 yrs. 35 months was median interval from initial CCY to reoperation. All completed robotically, 70% same day d/c. 1 patient with major complication (IR drain for abscess). 🤖is definitely the way for these cases! @herbert_zeh @PatricioPolanc0 @AdamYopp

🧵1/ Your partner sees a pt who has remnant cholecystitis s/p a subtotal CCY last year, and laments that this is an epidemic of the push for more subtotals as a bailout. We explore this question in our article in @acsJACS & 🧵below. journals.lww.com/journalacs/…

Clinically localized gastric cancer has about 40% chance of occult peritoneal metastases. Staging laparoscopy is NOT optional. Glad to have @SamWangMD @MPorembka and others on our multi-d team rapidly taking these pts to the OR for accurate staging

Have you ever wondered why do large (>3cm) & Mixed Type IPMNs have a higher risk of invasive neoplasia and carcinoma? In these @JAMASurgery & @acsJACS publications led by @amudhan_kannan for our research group we attempt to decipher the biological behavior of IPMN using NGS
