This is how ICG can help identify abnormal extra hepatic biliary anatomy (from our case last week). Accessory right hepatic draining into cystic duct. This was a routine lap cholecystectomy and #ICG saved us from #bileductinjury

This needs to be discussed more and more. Hourly costs of a fully equipped and staffed operating room are circa €1500 to €2500 Efficient & effective use of available resources is very important @UPMCinIreland @RCSI_Irl
Surgeon factors and their association with operating room turnover time ➡️ - Surgeons in leadership roles and with ≥10 years of experience have significantly shorter OR turnover times, enhancing efficiency - Leadership and experience likely streamline turnover through better logistics, team coordination, and policy implementation - Even small reductions in turnover time (6–8 minutes) can lead to substantial cumulative time savings across cases Work by Kshitij Pandit, Luke Wang, Joel Rosenberg, Nicole Goldhaber, Jill C Buckley, Sonia Ramamoorthy, Kristin L Mekeel, Aditya Bagrodia #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology

This is a sector wide issue and requires urgent attention by all stake holders @MDCA_Ireland @IMO_IRL @IHCA_IE @PrivateHospsIrl
#levelindemnity clinical indemnity or malpractice insurance is rising at a nearly exponential rate. This is crippling independent medical practices and putting some out of business. 40% of @MDCA_Ireland members see more than 2000 patients/year @DonnellyStephen we need a plan!!
