Dan Hashimoto, MD MS FACS

After 3+ years of work, excited to see our @MHEducation @MHMedical textbook on #AI in #surgery available for pre-order! Written with a non-technical audience in mind & priced to be accessible, we hope this helps introduce topics in #surgicalAI! amazon.com/Artificial-Int…

Huge congratulations and Happy Match Day to all of our Categorical and Integrated Interns! Your hard work, resilience, and dedication have paid off-welcome to the next chapter and to The Family!!! #MatchDay #FutureSurgeons #MedEd #ResidencyBound

@SeastedtMD @NIH Congrats!!! A great testament to the amazing work you do

Truly humbled and grateful to receive @NIH-supported K12 career development funding. Our project focuses on personalizing lung cancer survivorship using multimodal AI to predict recurrence and second primary cancers after surgery. Today most patients follow the same surveillance schedule despite very different risks. Our goal is to move toward risk-adapted follow-up based on clinicopathologic data and imaging. Thankful for incredible mentors, collaborators, and trainees who made this possible. Excited for the work ahead. @SidhuGang @ChiFuJeffYang @Jacobs_Med_UB @RoswellPark @Laparoscopes @FilicoriMD @UBuffalo @LindaMThoracic @BrendonStilesMD

New insights on #ChronicAbdominalPain after #RouxEnY gastric bypass! The latest review by Maria S. Altieri, MD (@altierim1) & coauthors highlights key causes like marginal ulcers, hernias, bile reflux, SIBO & more.  This work also emphasizes a systematic approach to diagnosis & treatment. #BariatricSurgery #ASMBS #PatientCare #SurgicalCare bit.ly/4kT5RW1

Congratulations to @Laparoscopes (@PennSurgery), @delafuentelab (@PennMicro), Julio Chirinos (@PennCardiology) & Seiji Isotani (@PennGSE) on being named @_PennAI Discovering the Future of AI Awardees! tinyurl.com/2vbw96c5

Really great to have @SenguptRoni visit @PennEngineers @GRASPlab to teach us about work on spatial #AI for #endoscopy

@DrJashDatta @AcademicSurgery @BrenessaL @UABSurgery Not surprisingly the photos from @BrenessaL's #ASC2026 presidential address show how incredibly thoughtful she is about inspiring change, preparing for innovation, and leading academic surgery! I have major FOMO!

Stirring @AcademicSurgery Presidential address at #ASC2026 by @BrenessaL @UABSurgery on Interwoven Missions to Empower All Academic Surgeons! Congratulations madam president

Preemptying the trough of disillusionment in surgical AI via @Jayson_Marwaha & @Laparoscopes

Collaborative project b/w @pcasolab @laparoscopes and @kostasPenn has been awarded 1 of 4 Discovering the Future of AI awards and will use #AI to reconstruct four-dimensional surgical environments from video to assess skill, predict risk, and improve patient outcomes.

@Laparoscopes, Thomas Shin and I are the editors for the new @NaturePortfolio Digital Surgery journal's collection on all things "Surgical Data Science & Analytics" Please consider submitting your latest work!

It was a privilege to have @Laparoscopes visit @UMichSurgery this week to give grand rounds on the current state of computer vision & future of this field. Inspiring talk & fascinating work, as always!

@SeastedtMD Awesome work! Love this meeting (and the venue!).

🎉 Oral @ WACV 2026 (P2P-CV Workshop) 🎉 Our paper introducing MIRACLE was accepted for oral presentation. We show an LLM-augmented, multimodal, human-in-the-loop model that predicts post-op complications after lung cancer surgery using clinical data + CT radiomics + editable explanations. Key idea: clinicians can intervene on explanations and change model outputs - bridging performance, interpretability, and real clinical use. Validated on 3,094 real-world patients.

This Thursday, the Surgical Practice AI Research Community (SPARC) Grand Rounds returns with speaker Daniel Hashimoto, MD, MSTR from Penn Medicine. Don't miss out on Dr. Hashimoto's talk, Surgical Computer Vision and the Road to Real – World Impact. Location: Ford Auditorium

In this era of AI excitement, how do we ensure surgeons' expectations are appropriately aligned with the actual capabilities of new surgical AI tools? In @JAMASurgery, @Laparoscopes & I comment on some important dimensions of user calibration to new surgical AI systems.

New invited comment in @JAMASurgery by @Laparoscopes on overcoming enchanted determinism for #AI tools in surgery. We need better clinician education on #AI & improved metrics for assessing #AI performance in clinical settings. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Thanks @JAMASurgery for the invite to comment with @Jayson_Marwaha on a fascinating study from @MThorntonMD on expectations of surgeons on performance of an #AI tools in the OR We need better education for clinicians on what #AI can do & how to measure performance

@SWexner @MedStarHealth @Georgetown @AmCollSurgeons @MedStarWHC @SAGES_Updates @ASCRS_1 @juliomayol @NeilFlochMD @ACPGBI @escp_tweets @SurgJournal @ivanoransky @DrMarcSiegel Congrats!!!

Excited, energized, and eager to start my new role on November 1, 2025 as inaugural Physician Executive Director and System Chief for Colorectal Surgery and Vice Chair for Professional Development for the Department of Surgery @MedStarHealth @Georgetown @AmCollSurgeons

@Alalshawi @rbarbosa91 No need to call me out like that 😂

@rbarbosa91 Thank you Dr Barbosa, what if the attending gives me hard time for PALMING the instrument?

I’ve talked before about ’palming’ the needle holder versus putting your fingers in the holes… But the next time an attending gives you a hard time for putting your fingers in the holes, you can point out to them that it’s *literally on the cover of the Sabiston textbook*. 🧐

Q: What happens when AI surgeons and trainees meet at @AmCollSurgeons ? A: great networking between members of @SAGES_Updates @AMIAinformatics SPARC @UMichSurgery and the ACS Informatics and AI Committee. This is collaboration 🤩🤩

A full house for the first #AI plenary @AmCollSurgeons #ACSCC2025 in W-179!
