Sounds crazy but…I’m thinking about creating a course for OPEN colorectal surgery. With the shift to laparoscopy & robotics over the past 20+ years, the current generation of surgical trainees need to learn how to operate the “old school” way for the most challenging cases…

Surgeons can’t operate forever. What are you going to miss most about the operating room when you retire from surgery? As a start, I’ll miss the excitement, the creativity, the predictability and unpredictability, the teamwork, and the privilege.

A room filled with patients and providers @umassmemorial and @UMassChan learning about #colorectalcancer prevention and care. Knowledge is power. Thank you to the organizers, sponsors, speakers, and participants.

Just had my CT calcium score test. A new screening exam to assess the risk of coronary artery disease. Not covered by insurance but only costs about $100. It was sooooo easy. No IV. In and out in about 10 minutes. Knowing your risk profile is best way to stay healthy! Do it!!!

Would you describe the wound classification for a routine colectomy as “clean contaminated”/Class 2 or “contaminated”/Class 3? I do not think the guidelines are clear….

Virtually every time I am called to the operating room to assist or consult on a difficulty surgery the FIRST thing I do is extend the incision. Exposure is key and can facilitate and expedite a successful surgery. Other tips??.
