Behind The Knife: The Surgery Podcast

Few audiences appreciate the importance of a properly functioning sphincter like surgeons. Magnetic sphincter augmentation using the LINX device, however, is one area that is beyond the sphincter-related expertise of most surgeons and surgical trainees. Drs. Mike Weykamp, Nicole White, Andrew Wright, and Nick Cetrulo review the literature surrounding the use of the LINX device for gastroesophageal reflux disease and how the device stacks up against the current gold standard in anti-reflux surgery, laparoscopic fundoplication, on this journal review episode of Behind the Knife.  References:  1.

What is one of the most energy-intensive and waste-generating areas of the hospital? The operating room! In the new BTK/Annals of Surgery Journal Club, we talk to Dr. Elizabeth Yates and Dr. Louis Nguyen about their new article – “Empowering Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, and Obstetricians to Incorporate Environmental Sustainability in the Operating Room.” They review the impact ORs have on the environment, the consequences this has for patients, and ways surgeons lead efforts to “green” the operating room. As the topic of environmental sustainability becomes a growing concern with each passing year, the surgical workplace is going to play a big role in moving in the right direction. Join us for a great discussion!   Dr. Yates earned her medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School. She is currently a General Surgery resident at Brigham and Women’s Hospital where she is now completing two years of protected research time at the Center for Surgery and Public Health while also pursuing a Masters

You are faced with a young patient with low rectal cancer who is a complete responder to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. He asks if he should undergo surgical resection despite the absence of visible tumour. How do you approach such a question?  Join Dr. Carole Richard, Dr. François Dagbert and Dr. Maher Al Khaldi in their conversation about the Watch and Wait strategy for rectal cancer, also known as the Organ Preservation strategy.  Learning objectives  -       To understand the rationale for Watch and Wait Strategy and the proportion of patients who become complete clinical responders.  -       To explain how patients under the Watch and Wait Strategy protocol should be followed up and when to consider a patient a clinical nonresponder. -       To understand the inclusion criteria for patients in the Watch and Wait Strategy References In order throughout the episode [1–3]: 1.
