How about this one?

Last night on left, tonight on right. The pictures don’t do the sunsets justice.

@EricKnauerMD @jennifermov @AmCollSurgeons @MBosleyMD @EleahPorterMD @RaulRosenthalMD @lpneff @EmorySurgery I should come over some day and learn a thing or two!

@EricKnauerMD @BehindTheKnife @SArshiaArshad @EdLinEmory @rbarbosa91 @Dhananjayasha19 100% this. Was having the same chat with some trainees this week. Having done a “near total” this week I’m convinced I wouldn’t have got any further opening other than a longer recovery for the patient and a greater BDI risk.
English
@SArshiaArshad @BehindTheKnife @EdLinEmory @rbarbosa91 @Dhananjayasha19 I said the same in my bailout talk. If it’s difficult lap it’s going to be difficult open. Do a “near total” and leave as little gb behind as possible. Of course try to get the entire gb out, don’t just see a bad one a jump to near total. Also don’t injure the bile duct.

“Open ccy outperforms subtotal procedures” -BTK Podcast
I disagree. Open ccy has its role, but a difficult lap ccy, is a difficult open ccy. Conv to open associated with ⬆️BDI. Subtotal has its own downsides, but BDI most important IMO. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

Is the open cholecystectomy a "lost art?" Join @MizzouSurgery @dev_rushabh @AnchetaMicah +++ for a deep dive into the art and grit of open cholecystectomy. From fundus-first dissection to navigating the “barrier to happiness,” this episode is packed with surgical pearls, tough love, and the kind of wisdom only scars can teach. ➡️ app.behindtheknife.org/podcast/clinic…

Promotion to Associate Professor effective as of today! There are a lot of boxes to check to become a full professor.

@DANIELPEMBERTON went to see bad guys 2 today. Awesome score as always sir!!!

@Vaughters proper love it when you’re on commentary. Makes me laugh so much. Tesla auto braking on the bikes…more the worry that someone in UCI is considering it at this very moment….
English
@BT Wonderful track. Still listen to it all the time…. Especially the electronic opus version

Knowing Love Comes Again still resonates with so many after all this time brings me joy ❤️
We Rave You@weraveyou
It’s 2025 and we’re witnessing the legendary @tiesto playing his iconic @BT collab ‘Love Comes Again’ - timeless ❤️

@rdrummond Hi Robert, sorry to hear this. Can you give us more information about where and when this happened please? Thank you.

@WheatleyHousing Not great optics for your company when your driver panic lane changes at lights enough that my car emergency brakes, blocks the lane for a bit to “make a point” then starts yelling abuse out the window at my kids at the next junction. Need to do better!

@EzraTeitelbaum It’s like that episode of sex in the city where they go to the vagina exhibition.

Challenge for all cholangiogram-ers out there! Here are 72 IOCs I did in the last year. 🏆1st Prize🏆 goes to whoever can correctly identify most CBD stones. Bonus points for finding any other anatomic/other abnormalities...

Great day helping proctor an amazing Transcystic LapCBDE course at the #UofT GenSurgUpdate2025 led by @acute_care_doc @UofTGSx @UnityHealthTO @uoftcpd @CAGS_ACCG @OAGS1

@cutitoutPODCAS1 @IHPBA @JeyarajahRohan @FlavioRochaMD @HalletJulie Have never seen anyone do this…and haven’t ever considered it! Worried that extending it would be challenging and I’d end up twatting the vessels laterally and thus devascularising everything.
English
Dear HPB peeps, does anyone do this? This figure and caption are counter to the teaching and principles most biliary surgeons would adhere to.
To person who posted, I don’t mean to be critical, just want to spur discussion. @IHPBA @JeyarajahRohan @FlavioRochaMD @HalletJulie

Transverse choledochotomy interrupts fewer ductal arterioles and causes less ischemia, but it’s harder to extend for larger stones. Longitudinal incision allows better access but may compromise vascularity. Which incision do you prefer—longitudinal or transverse?
English
@BT Weird question, but driving me nuts. TBU is on Apple Music…but not listed under your albums on your artist page. It’s there if you search, and correctly assigned to you as artist…but only if you search.

@jennifermov @Stentingwoman @EricKnauerMD 100%. Some patients have abdomens that you’d want to avoid going near at all costs. EUS drainage would likely be preferable in these situations (and hopefully provide a more durable solution than perc drainage).
English
@rdrummond @Stentingwoman @EricKnauerMD Yes this is an important point we shouldn’t loose sight of. These patients are really managed best with a multidisciplinary approach to determine the cumulative intervention with the lowest risk.
English
@EricKnauerMD @Stentingwoman @ericpaulimd @rbarbosa91 @MBosleyMD @EleahPorterMD @DouglasAdlerMD Another one of these things that I watch and think “man I’d love to learn how to do this” but then wonder if I’d ever actually do it enough to be able to do it well
English
@EricKnauerMD @Stentingwoman @ericpaulimd @rbarbosa91 @MBosleyMD @EleahPorterMD @DouglasAdlerMD I think this is pretty cool…I just don’t know when I’d employ it at the moment. The only patients I consider external drainage for are those not fit for GA, and it seems this still requires a prolonged GA?
English
@jennifermov @Stentingwoman @EricKnauerMD I do wonder though if the risks of a prolonged GA endoscopic procedure (that may require repeated sittings or interventions) are much different from a lap chole in a high risk patient. In my normal cohort, it’s generally the GA risk that’s the limiting factor.
English
@Stentingwoman @EricKnauerMD This is great! Thank you for sharing! Good reminder for surgeons that there are less invasive options for the management of gallbladder disease in high-risk patients
