    As application season rolls around, want to see if we can use #medtwitter to help the next generation of surgeons. A lot of amazing IMGs applying to surgery. Please consider replying with names of programs that have track record of supporting IMGs. #gensurgmatch2023

    Establishing the critical view of the myopectineal orifice is facilitated by understanding preperitoneal microfascial anatomy. A quick video of the various tissue planes in this “simple” space. Full video with narration: youtu.be/pStKtuPoI1A #HerniaGeeks #OHSUHernia

    A few critical views recently obtained with superstar intern @connieygan1. Mobilization of the artery and carefully dissecting the lower 1/3 of the gallbladder help to get better/more complete CVS. #breadandbutter #safechole #gildedgallbladderaward nominee.

    Critical views for days. Which is more satisfying to obtain? The CV of the myopectineal orifice or CV of safety in lap chole? Love being back in the OR after my injury sabbatical. Bread and butter vibes. #OHSUHernia #safechole

    Re-energized after a great @SAGES_Updates conference. Today, focused on teaching our trainees about open approaches to inguinal hernia. This is one of the best articles summarizing the commonly used techniques. Nice job @Herniadoc! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29754626/

    Here’s a 4-page “rounding survival guide” I’ve been sharing with students since residency. Goes through a system based approach for common postop decisions. 2-pages per side & double-sided printing converts this all to one sheet that can be folded to fit in white coat pocket.
