Small-bites fascial closure after elective midline laparotomy reduced long-term risk and size of incisional hernia vs traditional large-bites technique, supporting small bites as standard practice for abdominal closure. ja.ma/4di06iV

Exciting Update: TotalSegmentator supports segmentation of liver lesions on both CT and MR images. Free and easy to use. Great team effort by the University Hospital Basel Radiology team. paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100… code: github.com/wasserth/Total…

This is how a large polyp is removed from the colon to prevent cancer.

I would like to share this video of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions. Based on the intraoperative findings shown in the video, would you have proceeded with resection, or would you have attempted to preserve the bowel? #MedicalCase #HydropicGallbladder #SurgeryLife #MedStudent #Radiology #MedTwitter #surgery @IBCOxford @Bariatric_doc #roboticsurgery #Some4surgery @IntuitiveSurg @CirugiaUdC @flochman @PipeCabreraV @isfgs @CiruAndes2 @juliomayol @pferrada1 @OscarGuevaraHPB @DrJonnys @SAGES_Updates @AmCollSurgeons @SWexner @ascolcirugia @MISIRG1 @APDSurgery @DptoCirugiaPUJ @ForegutSociety @SESC_AmSurg
