Official handover of ⁦@PCSAsurg⁩ presidency from Ed Phillips to ⁦@StanfordSurgery⁩ professor ⁦@sherrywren⁩, congratulations to both on their contributions to the art and science of surgery.

The @PCSAsurg, @pcsa2020, #PCSA2020 is a great meeting to learn about surgery and see old friends like @kibbemr. Many presentations by @UCSFSurgery residents and faculty. @ucsf, #UNCChapelHill

#PCSA2020 @PCSAsurg Dr. Yu-Hsien Chen from #Taiwan showed similar low complication rates of transoral endoscopic #TOETVA and robotic #TORT in propensity matched groups. TORT took longer but made central node dissection easier. Axilla useful for removing large tumors @TheAAES

Mingling with the bigwigs at #PCSA2020 - congrats to the new @PCSAsurg President Dr Sherry Wren! @sherrywren #WomenInSurgery

#PCSA2020 @PCSAsurg Dr. Claire Graves @clairegravesmd showed total lesion activity TLA of choline PET scan correlates with size/biochemical activities of adenoma in primary hyperpara. Dr. Insoo Suh @insoosuh et al are working on its approval by FDA for parathyroid localization.

Favorite moment of the weekend: @PCSAsurg VP @BurchGISurg introducing President Dr. #EdPhillips. A moving speech chronicling his extraordinary life—a #pioneer in laparoscopic surgery and the support system that kept him going: his wife & family. #PCSA2020 #ThankYouDrPhillips

Inspiring panel on #healthcare #innovation arranged by @PCSAsurg president and my mentor Dr. Ed Phillips including my other mentors @jackgiraffe1 and (hopefully) @pedssurgery as well as Dr. Sumbul Desai. All have some version of my #dreamjob! #PCSA2020

Celebration by @StanfordSurgery at @PCSAsurg presidential dinner, incredible showing on the program!

Next talk on #innovation @PCSAsurg is with @Apple VP of Health Dr Sumbal Desai. Apple Health is only 5 years old. 🤔 And started just before the #iWatch. #PCSA2020

@Apple Health CMO, Dr. Sumbul Desai, shares that tech to detext AFib, tachycardia on #AppleWatch was made 3y before release.. time was spent clinically validating the device and ensuring that alerts generated were helpful (not harmful) to medical community @PCSAsurg #PCSA2020

Continuing the @PCSAsurg Presidential panel on #innovation, @jackgiraffe1 addresses the dilemma of academic medical centers in competing with #biotech corporate venture activities. @CedarsSinai does a good job of it. 💪🏻 #PCSA2020 #VC

Some new technology coming at you if you’ve had surgery: Use of #VirtualReality can reduce #pain including #chronicpain. #VR #PCSA2020 @PCSAsurg @CSaccelerator @CedarsSinai @techstars @jackgiraffe1

Loved this unique and hilarious talk by @PCSAsurg Historians Dr. Ryan and @wshen16 on little known aspects of #Halsted’s life. #PCSA2020

.@PCSAsurg President Dr Edward Phillips has spearheaded a very amazing panel session on the future and #innovation. Dr @pedssurgery starts the session. She’s such an amazing surgeon peer, mentor, and role model as @IBMWatson VP. #PCSA2020

Dr Wen Shen takes over the rest of the historian presentation on Dr William #Halsted, discussing his life and surgical contributions when he moved from NY to Baltimore. #pcsa2020 ⁦@PCSAsurg⁩ ⁦@CenteronHalsted⁩

Interesting work from the exceptional @ATitanMD and the legendary Dr. Norton on outcomes after resection of locally advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Vascular resection was not associated with long term survival and OS was 90% @StanfordSurgery @PCSAsurg

Enjoying hearing Dr. Andre Campbell discussing a trauma presentation @PCSAsurg meeting! @UCSFSurgery
