When you do a small bowel resection and anastomosis always check the small bowel orientation to try to reduce kinking. Sometimes it kinks anyway. Not a debate on stapled, hand-sewn, iso, anti, etc..

More trocar trajectories: When lysing adhesions from the ab wall they need to be lateral and directed up towards the ab wall. If they are too medial, too close to the adhesions, and pointed down its difficult to get the angle you need @FilipinoSurgeon @rbarbosa91 @VNikolian

Trocar trajectory is critical. They may be 8cm apart on the skin,but if your angles are not right they will be too close on the inside and “hand cuff” you. Torquing to the target also results in hernias and pain. For Robo cases I’ve started saying PPP (parallel port placement).

@SPerdawood Doesn’t matter, unless you are going to be placing a stoma. However, I prefer a more gradual incision around the umbilicus, rather than sharp corners.

@MISIRG1 @Cirbosque @cutitoutPODCAS1 @ChaseSurgical The question of duration of antibiotics for intra-abdominal infection comes up frequently. The STOP-IT trial is a must read. Link: Credit to Mathieu Larouche for the first pic.

@samsfeelinggood Besides paging @ericpaulimd my only contribution here is that everyone calls a tube that goes into the GI tract a PEG tube. Even if this is a surgically placed gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube or a tube placed in IR.

Started in practice 20 years ago today. Was a Friday and I was on call for the weekend. I took off the entire month of July after finishing fellowship, a great choice if you can do that.

@EzraTeitelbaum @Cirbosque @MISIRG1 Since I didn’t get any video of my lap CBDE today (despite hitting record) I’ll share this clip of a recent transcystic L-CBDE.
