Fortunate to have these opportunities at @CCF_CTSRes
This fantastic video from @johnbarronmd demonstrates the exclusion technique, which offers an effective method for parenchymal division during robotic segmentectomy.

Open access in #JTCVS: A single-center 25-year experience with salvage esophageal reconstruction with colonic conduit. Researchers at @CleClinicHVTI found long-term functional outcomes are similar to patients with a gastric conduit. Learn more: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2025…

ALT Patient-reported symptom frequency for Cleveland Clinic Esophageal Questionnaire survey domains: (A) dysphagia, (B) dumping, (C) eating, (D) pain, (E) dyspepsia, and (F) reflux and regurgitation. The Y-axis describes the symptom, and the X-axis denotes the percentage of respondents that reported said frequency.

Thanks to all who attended the robotic heart+lung sim this Saturday at @ClevelandVAMC. Especially appreciative of @DJPBurns, Dr. Dean Schraufnagel, and Intuitive’s Ryan Ward for making this happen! @williamcfrankel @NickOhMD @antang_tang @_SadiaTasnim @johnbarronmd @CCF_CTSRes
For patients with type I achalasia, Heller + Dor fundoplication results in similar symptom relief and esophageal drainage, with less acid exposure, compared to POEM. youtu.be/AFiQXwQ0E7U?feature… @GooseDocMD @CleClinicHVTI

"I could not somehow overcome, whether it was institutional or at the national level or at the accreditation level, this constant pressure to provide students with satisfaction, and how often as an educator that felt like it was in direct conflict with providing them with the quality of education and the rigor of training that’s really needed to do a good job."
Highly recommended podcast from @NEJM: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
Have you listened? Thoughts?
I remember going to Cibeles later that night, only to see Ramos drop the trophy off the bus
If you could go back in time and be in the stadium to witness one Real Madrid moment in history, what would you choose? Only rule: you can't choose 92:48 (too obvious).
