Great #ACSCC26 imagine presenting my history of surgery poster on the resuscitative thoracotomy and you get to meet one of the Icons in Surgery Dr. Mattox whose work you are highlighting!
Very thankful to receive a scholarship from this incredible organization and group of surgeons! #ACSCC26 🏳️🌈
Incredible turnout for our 7th Annual Business Meeting and Networking event! Thank you to our Board members, outgoing President and Program Chair for organizing such a wonderful evening. #ACSCC26 @AmCollSurgeons
Come on by at ACS Clinical Congress to
hear how surgeons acting to save dying patients by opening the chest led to the developement of CPR. Every resuscitative thoracotomy we do in trauma today serves as a precursor to CPR! #ACSCC26 #thehouseofsurgery #trauma – at Washington, DC
Great time with my attendings and co-fellows hearing all the amazing research at AAST Annual Meeting.
Thankful to @traumadoctors for the 20forTwenty Scholarship to meet all these giants in trauma. Great role models and mentors @dakuhls @unlvmedicine #trauma #aast #surgery

In a multicenter study of 467 motorcycle crash patients, Nebraska's helmet-law repeal was associated with an immediate decline in helmet use.
Non-helmeted riders had higher adjusted odds of neurosurgical intervention

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis for #SmallBowelObstruction was not superior to open surgery for long-term recurrence, incisional hernia incidence, or quality of life at 5-year follow-up, confirming both as viable options. ja.ma/3Qnrpi7
Making the most out of the situation when most was resected. #traumasurgery #shortgutsyndrome @unlvmedicine @TSACO_AAST

As ICE raids escalate across Chicago, hospitals and clinics have become sites of risk and confrontation for immigrants seeking healthcare. What happens when Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents enter a place of healing?

In patients with duodenal injury complicated by postop leak parenteral nutrition didn't decrease time to leak closure. Enteral nutrition was associated w/ lower rates of infectious complications & shorter LOS & should be the preferred choice of nutrition.
