Ahmad Abutaka, MBBS, FEBS (EmSurg)

Congratulations to @MasriAhmadMD, the recipient of the inaugural Kent Thornburg Excellence in Research Award. Amazing day of science during @OHSUCardio research day.

@ZhiVenFongMD @rbarbosa91 Good for intervals as well link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@rbarbosa91 Don’t discriminate against ALL the gallbladders.. robot’s great for redo completion cholecystectomies after remnant cholecystitis from subtotals. Severe cholecystitis as well.

“I’m not doing more IOC’s. They cost more, take more time, and there’s no proven benefit“, says the surgeon. “They’re not going to tell me how to practice surgery.“ <turns to rep> “OK, I’m ready to dock the robot.“

Some of the most meaningful work is on the ground. From theory to practice in <24hours 💪. A “We Bring It to You” MIS CBD exploration course executed in rural Missouri at Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare. This 5 surgeon/3 FA group can now offer single-stage care right at home!

@topknife @BCM_Surgery Well deserved!

Today, I delivered the Mattox Lecture in the Michael E. DeBakey @BCM_Surgery named after a son of Lebanese immigrants who became the greatest ❤️ surgeon in the world. Today another Lebanese son stood at that podium. A pinnacle moment in any trauma surgeon's career and today it was mine🙏 @kmattox1 Thank you for making us all better.

@AhmadAbouAbbas8 @cityofhopeoc Congrats! All the best

There is hope! Grateful and excited to start the next chapter of my academic and professional career at City of Hope. I’ll be welcoming and caring for new patients at the new COH Orange County campus beginning in April. @cityofhopeoc

Great day of hands-on training at the first @EAST_TRAUMA robotics workshop for acute care surgery! And thanks to @IntuitiveSurg for hosting. #EAST2026 #ResistanceIsFutile

Our new piece on ECMO as a bridge to lung transplant. Particularly pleased with this collaboration and the team behind it @MayoAnesthesia @JCVAonline @MayoClinicCVS

@OMGhanemMD @OMGhanemMD1 Done

Percutaneous cholecystostomy should serve as a bridge to interval cholecystectomy in patients with contraindications to immediate surgery, specifically those with sepsis and acute cholecystitis, with IC ideally performed 8-13 weeks post-PC. ja.ma/45zCzoK

Happening now ❗️❗️ Dr. @aabutaka presenting on #MinimallyInvasive #CommonBileDuct exploration at the #MinnesotaSurgicalSociety2025 meeting. @MayoClinicSurg @mnsurgeons
