🚨 Management of colorectal polyps: update and future directions 🚨 bit.ly/4qp0jEF ✏️ Key take home messages: 1. Accurate lesion assessment is KEY 2. Cold snare resection is preferred for SSLs regardless of size and adenomas <10mm 3. Piecemeal EMR remains standard of care for LNPCPs with margin thermal ablation and selective defect closure 4. Complex lesion / concerns?

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

Absolutely the most important tool we have

New UK guidelines on biopsies during upper GI endoscopy 🎯🆕 @FrontGastro_BMJ 📸: fg.bmj.com/content/early/…

🚀 New publication alert, please check out our paper on utility of repeat colonoscopy attempt after failed colonoscopy published in @GIE_Journal Highlights of study, 👉 26 studies with 1647 patients 👉 Overall, (CIR) on repeat attempt was 95.7%, CIR with a standard colonoscope was 96.2%, CIR with single balloon enteroscopy was 96.8%, and CIR with double-balloon enteroscopy was 93%. 👉 ADR on the repeat attempt was 36% ADR with standard colonoscope was 38.6%, with single balloon enteroscopy was 38.2%, and with double balloon enteroscopy was 33.8%. 👉Overall neoplasia rate on repeat attempt was 2%, CRC rate with standard colonoscope was 1.7%, with single balloon enteroscopy was 1.9%, and with double balloon enteroscopy was 3.6%.   @uthsc @ASGEendoscopy @AmCollegeGastro @SultanMahmoodMD @DrFkamal #GITwitter giejournal.org/article/S0016-…

Proud of this paper: the first of its kind to address management of ACUTE femoral hernias in the modern era. There seems to be so much confusion about this. So if you’re an ACS surgeon or general surgeon, I hope this helps you! Check out the treatment algorithm we provided in the article and let me know your thoughts and how you would improve it. @GBarmparasMD @CedarsSinai @CedarsSinaiMed @DeptSurgeryCS @Trauma_CS #acs #oncall #acutecaresurgery #trauma @SESC_AmSurg journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

@harryfdean @InesRPsurg @Belindadesimone @hayfarani @kemrasa @WSESurgery @SurgInfxSoc @worldsis_org @SurgInfxJrnl @eurohernias @HULPSurgery @StcuaeC Thats the key. Treat your ab wall closure like a GI anastomosis. As are the golden words from @herniatoday ‘Approximation not strangulation’ & ‘Extension is better than fixation’ (of mesh)-stands true for AWR- no hesitation to undertake contralateral TAR if any tension

@InesRPsurg @Belindadesimone @hayfarani @kemrasa @WSESurgery @SurgInfxSoc @worldsis_org @SurgInfxJrnl @eurohernias @HULPSurgery @StcuaeC One of my trainers use to refer to laparotomy closure as the “abdominal wall anastomosis”. It gives a mindset to approach it with the same care and attention as any other join!

📢'Closure time is not coffee time'☕️ 👉You've heard this before,but do we really stand by it in our daily practice?Do we do our best & take the time and effort to close the abdomen properly after a complex case, to avoid wound complications and SSI? Excellent session #WSES2O25

A masterclass from @dom_slade in managing #ParastomalHernia ✨️ Remember, parastomal hernias are technically complex and patients should be referred to someone with a specialist interest. @eurohernias @ACPGBI #HerniaFundamentals

"PARASTOMAL HERNIAS" I cannot emphasise enough that these are a #ComplexHernia If you are only able to offer your patients a #SutureRepair please consider an onward referral to a #CAWR specialist. Brilliant talks by @TJamesRoyle1, Axel Dievernich, @slade_dom @BritishHernia

Great to see my friend Javier presenting on PeTEP hernia repair tomorrow — always brilliant insights! #HerniaSurgery

Adjuvant therapy in colon cancer has come a long way. FOLFOX and capecitabine remain the backbone, but a series of trials highlight how we can go beyond “chemo as usual” to improve both tolerability and efficacy: 🧬 ALASCCA – In stage II–III CRC with PI3K pathway mutations, daily aspirin (160 mg) cut recurrence risk by ~50% (HR 0.49). 🖐 D-TORCH – Topical diclofenac gel reduced grade ≥2 hand-foot syndrome from 15% → 3.8% at 12 weeks, keeping more patients on full-dose capecitabine. 💊 B12 – Methylcobalamin supplementation lowered the rate of clinically significant HFS (BMJ 2025), a low-cost and safe toxicity-mitigation strategy. 🏃 CHALLENGE – Structured exercise after adjuvant therapy lowered recurrence/new primary risk by 28% and death by 37% over long-term follow-up. These studies point to a bigger picture: adjuvant therapy isn’t just about getting through chemo. It’s about layering strategies that make treatment more tolerable while meaningfully boosting outcomes. What else should we be adding to the adjuvant colon cancer playbook (no more bolus 5-FU)? @TheGutOncLab @OncoAlert @OncBrothers

@najafsiddiqi Congratulations @najafsiddiqi and well done to Rayan!! BW

Rayan Siddiqi ready to start the circle of life. Hard work paid off. Proud feeling for all of us. Well done my boy! #HYMS
