Great start to the morning.
High level cases presented by our residents: TONES approach for a sphenoid meningioma @RachelBlueMD, complex double deformity 💪🏽 @Ghenbot_MD, supraorbital approach for FCD, and this myxopap with dissemination 👇🏽 – at Philadelphia, PA
We started our morning off discussing the interesting cases that were recently done at each of our hospitals.
While @YTsehay was doing his rotation at Presby, he took part in a difficult case that lasted 12-hours.

At our #Neurosurgery Grand Rounds, Mr. Andrew Parker gave a great lecture on the differences in healthcare and lifestyle in New Zealand, compared to here in the US.
For 10 years now, our residents have had the opportunity to train under Mr. Parker with an international rotation.
