It was truly a great honor to receive this prestigious IFSO Pioneer in Metabolic Surgery Award at #IFSO2026 in Toronto. With more than 12,000 members from 78 countries, IFSO.com is a world leader in Metabolic Disease. Many other IFSO surgeons have shown how metabolic surgery leads to long-term disease remission, improved quality of life and reduced mortality. lts great to be a metabolic surgeon! @IfsoSecretariat @IFSO_NAC @ASMBS @PBRCNews @lsusurgerydept @JaimePonceMD @KhaledGawdat @rvcohen @FRubinoMD @francois_pattou @NeilFlochMD @jdscottmd @Jmortonmd @mattars77 @PaulinaSalminen @marinakurian @metabolic_knife @Ali_Aminian_MD @CorcellesMd @ScottShikoraMD @drbutsch @matthew_kroh

A proposed Medicare payment change could affect 1,458 types of procedures across a broad range of office-based specialties.
ACS researchers looked at the data to understand how the proposal could affect surgeons and their patients.

Start with the operative question, not the procedure.”
Great first session at #Foregut2026 on getting pre-op patient selection right.
🔑 Symptoms + anatomy + objective reflux burden + motor function should point to the same therapeutic target.
And a pearl worth remembering: HRM isn’t a GERD test—it helps prevent the wrong operation.
The goal isn’t getting a patient to surgery. It’s getting the right patient to the right intervention.
Spot on! Beware the upright refluxer!!!
One of the most important questions in “refractory GERD”:
Is it actually GERD?
Excellent pearls from @kia_leila on the pseudo-GERD trap:
🔹 Reflux hypersensitivity ≠ functional heartburn
🔹 Rumination can often be diagnosed from the history
🔹 Postprandial HRIM can confirm the physiology
🔹 Treatment may be behavioral—not another escalation of acid suppression
Phenotype first. Treat the mechanism.

I am happy to report that yesterday the federal judge dismissed all claims without prejudice against UVA, UPG, and the 6 defendants (including me) finding no legal basis for the allegations. Justice has prevailed! Thank you to all who supported me through this journey.

Until now, physicians using AI in clinic had to assemble the patient’s context themselves. Allergies, comorbidities, medications, prior procedures, copy-pasted in from the chart.
Today we’re announcing a partnership with @CedarsSinai. OpenEvidence now works directly inside Epic, drawing on the patient’s full record and interpreting the medical literature through the lens of that specific patient.
Cedars-Sinai is the first academic health system to deploy patient-aware clinical intelligence at enterprise scale. The clinician asks a complex question in natural language. The answer reflects both the best available evidence and the patient in front of them.
Patient data is never stored after the clinical session or used for any other purpose.
Good surgery = good outcomes!

🚨 New publication!
Does surgeon specialty matter for hernia repair—MIS vs Acute Care vs General? 🤔
Our findings: not really. Outcomes were driven more by patient factors than surgeon specialty.

Outstanding presentation by Dr. Emil Maric at #SAGES 2026. He taught us about how distensibility and diameter measured in the OR can predict hiatal hernia recurrence. He has clearly worked hard on this research.
I post this excellent study result with a heavy heart. It has been my observation for many years that this is true. We will continue to fight postoperative infections by pre-rehabilitation of our patients, minimal invasive approaches and quicker discharge! doximity.com/newsfeed/b611e7…
