@shimulshah73 @MGHSurgery @ASTSChimera Amazing work, Shimal and team!

Honored to be part of this team and a great 2025…200 lives saved so far with liver transplants. ⁦@MGHSurgery⁩ ⁦@ASTSChimera⁩

When Vicky needed a liver transplant, her friend Zoë donated part of hers. 💚 Thanks to expert care at @nyphospital, @weillcornell & Drs. @juampirocca and @BenSamstein, their journey became a success. Now they’re raising awareness. You can help: 🔗engdr.co/6-302904

This week at NYP/Weill Cornell we completed our 3rd robotic liver transplant, this time using a right lobe living donor graft. Amazing team effort running 2 simultaneous robotic rooms for donor and recipient.

Embracing a "robotic-preferred approach" in 2022 significantly changed our division's practice of liver surgery and transplantation during 2023, expanding MIS benefits to complex hepatectomies, donor hepatectomies, and hepatectomy during transplantation.

@shimulshah73 @dibmartin @TrasplanteUC @AHPBA @ASTSChimera @AST_info @sapisochin @HPB_Txp_Surg Yes. When doing MIS donor hepatectomy, several centers doing ICG have reported substitution of ICG cholangiography for contrast cholangiography. We have switched at NYP. Beautiful work, Martin!

@dibmartin @TrasplanteUC @AHPBA @ASTSChimera @AST_info @sapisochin @BenSamstein @HPB_Txp_Surg Does this replace cholangiogram? Excellent views…

@forrestreda great race. Congratulations!

@Kniery_Bird @scottcarlinpt @nycmarathon Congratulations! Hard to hold back with the energy from runners and crowd. Great race

@scottcarlinpt @nycmarathon So humbling, congrats!

A beautiful and humbling race. 3:37:53 Thank you @nycmarathon

@MarcMelcherMD @StanfordSurgery @StanfordAbdTxp Great talk. Exciting times.

@StanfordSurgery @StanfordAbdTxp Fantastic talk reviewing two decades of progressive, collaborative success.

Transplants without drugs? @Stanfordabdtxp's Dr. Stephan Busque thinks it's possible. Hear about his progress: youtu.be/xFBWuHCz5cI

Are u a GI fellow who is #hepcurious? Planning on applying to tx hep fellowship next year? Do u just want to chat with some cool hepatologists? Join the NYP Tx Hep team for coffee at #TLM on Sat @ 3pm or Sun @ 10am at Blue Bottle Coffee! #livertwitter #GITwitter @LiverFellow

@PRadkani @HiroNewYork @HpbOf @AHPBA @IHPBA @ASTSChimera @EmilyWinslow4 @GUH_WHCSurgRes The problem is the vessels, the details around the bifurcations and the minute intricacies about the relationship between the bile duct and the artery. I had models printed ten years ago that were similar. Not sure it is really ready to add value
