Yesterday, Category 1 Hurricane #Beryl passed over the top of @MDAndersonNews . And Today at 7 AM, the operating rooms on the main campus were fully open, performing some of the most complex surgeries in oncology. Many of the #perioperative staff woke up in homes without electricity and drove to work needing to take detours or driving around downed trees to ensure we could still provide the highest level of care for our patients. Witnessing the periop team's resilience and dedication today was awe-inspiring. Too many heroes today to name everyone across preop, OR, PACU, SPD, and Materials. In the pictures, a huge shout-out to our OR front desk CCC manager Rasean Spencer, PCT Elizabeth Dimagan who was continuously in the hospital since Sunday, anesthesia boardrunner Javier Lasala, CRNA boardrunner Laurie Hafner, and at the ACB front desk Erin Espiritu, RN. At a time when Houstonians are all trying to pick up the pieces, everywhere in periop today were those offering, "How can I help, do you need a hand?" #unbreakable #HealthcareHeroes #Teamwork

🚀 Hot off the press! Our article, "American Association of Plastic Surgeons Consensus on Breast Implant–Associated Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma," is featured in the September issue of @prsjournal ! This consensus represents a major step forward in guiding surgeons on BIA-ALCL as well as managing patients with textured #breastimplants. The article was selected as this month's Editor’s Pick by Dr. Kevin Chung. A big thank you to associate editor @DrAmyColwell for her kind words, calling it "an excellent review of available data and evidence-supported guidelines" and "a well-written and timely consensus article to help surgeons navigate how to best manage their patients with textured implants." Thank you to @DrMyckatyn Linda Phillips and all our esteemed authors. 👉 Curious about the recommendations? Click the link to read the full article and let’s discuss how we can continue to advance BIA-ALCL research. Made free online thanks to @AAPS1921 . Commentary: 💬 What are your thoughts on the latest recommendations? How do you think this changes care and follow up for patients with textured implants? What questions remain to address? Let’s start a conversation in the comments! #PlasticSurgery #BIAALCL #SurgicalGuidelines #PatientCare #EditorsPick #OncSurgery #EndCancer
