How will machine learning/AI change the way we operate?
Enjoyed giving this talk for resident grand rounds @einsteinsurgery.
Takeaways:
- AI should augment surgeons, not replace
- Shared surgical consciousness
- Biased data = biased algorithm
- Surgeons must be stakeholders – at Philadelphia, PA
Excited to present at #SAGES2023 on our experience with complicated gallbladder disease during the Covid-19 pandemic! @SAGES_Updates @SurgeryEinstein @JEFFsurgery – at Montréal, Québec
New pub from @SurgeryEinstein…Our experience with lap choles during the pandemic.
Lessons learned:
- be prepared (PPE, HEPA filters…)
- consider patient hesitancy
- younger patients most effected

Timing of Gastrografin (GG) Administration in the Management of Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction (ASBO): Does it Matter?

Antibiotics alone can treat appendicitis!! (Fine print: 30% chance you’ll need need an operation anyway 😐).
For the treatment of appendicitis, antibiotics noninferior to appendectomy on the basis of results of a standard health-status measure. In the antibiotics group, nearly 3 in 10 participants had undergone appendectomy by 90 days. #ACSCC20

Surgeons who are rude to their coworkers have higher complication rates. Not so surprising but nice to see it empirically studied. #surgery #NurseTwitter #jama #surgerylife jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Bypass surgery linked to drug and alcohol deaths. More reason for a thorough psych assessment before weight loss surgery. Would be interesting to see the if this stands true for gastric sleeves as well. #BariatricSurgery #weightlosstips webmd.com/mental-health/addi…
