Thinking back to my surgery intern orientation & one talk sticks out. One of the 3rd years was supposed to teach us how to respond to overnight pages but instead just told us story after story of mistakes he made. At the end we all felt a lot better. You’re all going to do great!

The 3 enemies of a Wound VAC:
1) Wetness - won’t stick
2) Wrinkles - will leak
3) Where’s the machine? - you need to have the suction device on and ready as soon as you apply the sponge/film
Your overnight colleagues (and seniors) will thank you.

In a left hepatic trisegmentectomy, it is possible that the dominant drainage of the right posterior sector is from a short hepatic rather than the right hepatic vein. A limited left-to-right caval dissection preserves outflow. In this case all three hepatic veins were taken.

A urologist is upset he has to wait for a general surgery colleague to finish an extremely difficult call case before he can start his own, so he disparages their decision-making and surgical skill on Twitter.
Really lame, dude. Be better.
General surgeons: what is the purpose of the add on robotic cholecystectomy? Isn’t it a procedure that has essentially been perfected w pure lap at a fraction of the time & cost?

Do you feed your pancreatitis patients immediately upon presentation? If not, why?
Contrary to outdated beliefs, there is no benefit to letting the pancreas “rest” by holding enteral feeds (eating). It was thought that early feeds would increase pain when the opposite is true!
