Such a great time at @bcmhouston rhinology and skull base rodeo course. Real pleasure meeting all the faculty and residents. The @houston_rodeo was an amazing addition to the visit!

Really enjoy hearing the amazing updates @Penn_ENT. Great and informative talk by @DrGregFarwell

It was an absolute honor to participate in such a fantastic educational course!

Highlights from the ARS Annual Meeting! 🌟 Pictured are Drs. Alison Yu, David Lerner, and Megan Mitchell, along with NP Christine Reger, sharing their work on topics ranging from inverted papilloma to humoral immune deficiency to sinonasal tumors. 👏 #ARS2025 #WeAreOTO #OTOMTG25

It was an honor to participate in this outstanding course. The level of education in the rhinology section was second to none. The people and city of Dubai did not disappoint!

Great first day @EROC2025 Fantastic conference organization. Now looking forward to enjoying some of this perfect weather in Dubai (much better than Philly right now!) @PennRhinology @Penn_ENT

Lost a friendly bet on my Michigan Wolverines vs Minnesota Golden Gophers with @PennUrology colleague @beschur. I gave him a few points and that’s all he needed for me to be wearing these socks all day in the OR! (Didn’t keep them outside the scrubs all day thankfully.)

Can’t wait to check it out!

Shout out to @StrykerNS for spending a Saturday with @Penn_ENT and @PennNSG. Had a blast honing some resident surgical skills with @JDouglasMD @Dr_CJackson

A dynamic duo! ⭐ Check out Dr. Adappa and Dr. Maina pictured together on her last day of residency. Penn Rhinology is so excited for Dr. Maina's bright future and will surely miss her on the team! #PGY5 #Rhinology #Residency 📸: @NAdappaMD

@duvvuri_md @PennMedicine @DrGregFarwell @Perlmutter_CC @nyugrossman Thank you for spending the time with us Uma. Fabulous talk!

I am humbled and honored to visit my alma mater @PennMedicine & deliver an eponymous lecture in honor of my mentor! Thanks @DrGregFarwell for the kind invitation. @Perlmutter_CC @nyugrossman

Such an amazing year of applicants- very excited for the future of rhinology. That said, we are thrilled to have Megan and Vidit on the @PennRhinology team!

Such a great night for @Penn_ENT celebrating faculty promotions. Lucky enough to work with @robleelab who was promoted to Associate Professor. Special night for our faculty. Thanks @DrGregFarwell for your leadership and culture setting here.

@JohnCraigNose And @PennRhinology has been so proud of your accomplishments and career educating others!

Seems to depend on one’s training. I trained at UPENN, and we tackle with 70 deg scopes and instruments. But I know this varies. Not everyone graduates residency comfortable using a 70 and doing frontals. Tho probably catching up as more and more programs have rhinologists teaching. I presume you also go with 70?

Love squeezing in research meetings with our rock star coordinators between #SkullBase cases!

Thrilled to share the first of a two-part @AmRhinoSociety Expert Practice Statement on skull base reconstruction - check it out @ifar_journal (open access)! @NAdappaMD @PennRhinology @Penn_ENT onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

Fortunate to continue this amazing journey through @PennMedicine. Amazing leadership including @DrGregFarwell helping me through this process and I am looking forward to the future. Appreciate all the texts and emails today!

Pretty good looking group repping @PennMedicine at #NASBS2024. One of the best parts of @NASBSorg: multidisciplinary collaboration. @Penn_ENT @PennNSG @PennRadOnc 💪💀🧠

@TheYangLab1 @Penn_ENT @PennNSG @NASBSorg @IsaacYangMD @UCLAHealth @UCLANsgy @HarborUCLA @HarborUCLASurg Thanks for the shout out! Great meeting.

@JohnCraigNose Been using AEA flap with alloderm for a while. Last time had massive edema and long-term crusting on alloderm side. Eventually settled down but took months… did one recently with @AlanWorkmanMD and went flap only…. We shall see…

I used to use Biodesign until I saw a failure at 2 weeks with U/L AEA flap and the biodesign was GONE. Hence my move to Alloderm. But when biodesign works, i agree, it does seem to mucosalize faster than alloderm. But now that I get B/L mucosal coverage, the amount of IP graft exposure is nearly zero (tho does still feel good having it there, I know some feel it unnecessary)
