Thanks to upcoming surgery star, @JenniferKuMed for supporting our discussion on the importance and ability to offer patients hidden incisions! Using the robot for new and better techniques is an exciting challenge :) @yvigneswaran
Loved this talk at #ASC2025 by @Alyssa_Varsanik! Hidden incisions for MIS. Something I’ve been curious about as a med student and asked about in cases. Awesome to see it presented! 👙@AcademicSurgery @UnivSurg
