New data suggests parathyroidectomy significantly outperforms cinacalcet in reducing cardiovascular risk for patients w/ dialysis-independent tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Propensity-matched analysis of 1,760 patients found surgery was associated with a 36% reduction in major adverse cardiac events and 67% reduction in atrial fib over 5-year period. Findings support surgical intervention as a definitive strategy to mitigate long-term cardiovascular morbidity in post-transplant populations.

Thank you American Journal of Surgery for the feature. We hope you find the NEAR project modification of parathyroidectomy as an alternative method to address the complexity of managing 4 gland disease. @IcahnMountSinai @MountSinaiNYC

No. Permanent DST would push winter sunrise as late as 9am, leaving schoolchildren and morning commuters in hazardous darkness. Natural morning light is crucial for healthy circadian rhythms and quality sleep. Ditch DST, restore permanent Standard Time!

It’s time to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time nationwide and eliminate these stupid fake biannual time shifts. What does it even do?

@georgetolisjr Certainly a real expectation for applicants to topic academic programs (and often fellowships) but there are many residency programs where “rural general surgery” is a frequent goal expressed in interviews by successful applicants.

The current surgical education system forces all candidates to claim that their goal is to be an academic surgeon engaged in research and teaching, when in fact they may just be interested in a quiet rural general surgical practice that greatly benefits a local community.

there are actually some pretty good American accents from British actors, but the Van Dyke comps are like: -Jude Law I HEART HUCKABEES (maybe the worst) -Dominic West THE WIRE -Liam Neeson ANYTHING WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE AMERICAN
David Burge@iowahawkblog

@3YearLetterman Dick Van Dyke did a better British accent than any foreigner has ever done an American accent

My patients tell me, "If I had only known I would get sick... if I could go back to the last holiday, I would've worried less, I would've been more present with the people I love.” Cherish your people today. Time is not guaranteed.

@rbarbosa91 My program had similar structure (Virginia Mason, Seattle). It certainly implored one to thoroughly prepare for each week.

My program did M&M where the Resident presented the service, and there was a list of all of the surgical cases from the service that week. Anyone in the room could ask the junior any question or detail about any of the cases from the week. Rigorous, but very educational. 🧐😬

Save #MandM! It is our most important educational conference!!! Open self critique, ethical accountability, brutal intellectual honesty and a willingness to be wrong/change practice builds resilience and makes better doctors. Great article and worth a read @JAMASurgery

I pity the heart so cold and world-weary that it doesn’t thrill at the view of Manhattan afforded by this flight path.

@joshmcgoo I think most surgeons’ experience would suggest more adhesions in any open procedure, contaminated procedures. Common to explore an abdomen with multiple previous MIS and see no adhesions at all. And then some patients seem to make worse adhesions, or none! Just anecdotes tho

The most common cause of a small bowel obstruction is adhesions from prior surgery. We know this from Step 2, but I wonder which operations give the most? Whipple > partial hysterectomy? Lap chole/appy vs hernia repair? Any surgeons have good insight on this?

@docmartin22 @ElliotServaisMD If I have a concern about the future and training, it’s that we are more and more reliant on a single corporation to facilitate a surgical technique. This is quite different than straight stick world with many vendors. Perhaps that will change.

@docmartin22 @ElliotServaisMD If anything, during very hard gallbladders, I often think the dexterity, better camera, and ability to “assist” myself has let me achieve safe CVS at times when I couldn’t without robot. But hard to prove that one

This is true But it’s not a robotic issue. It’s an issue of ensuring trainees have a robust skillset The same argument was prevalent in the laparoscopic vs open era. (“No one will be able to do an open chole - oh no!”) These concerns will fade over time
JAMA Surgery@JAMASurgery

💬 Viewpoint: Robotic surgery has rapidly become the default platform in US surgical training, but widespread adoption may erode core laparoscopic skills essential for safe, adaptable care. ja.ma/44wSMui
