BIG T Trauma Ep. 27: Is Vascular Trauma Care a Lost Art?18.12.2025 (00:34:34)
It’s 1:00 AM on a Saturday and a patient arrives with a gunshot wound and no distal pulses—who should hold the scalpel, Trauma or Vascular? In this episode of Big T Trauma, hosts Dr. Patrick Georgoff and Dr. Teddy Puzio are joined by vascular surgeon Dr. Brian Gilmore and dual-trained powerhouse Dr. Joe DuBose to debate this high-stakes turf war. We tackle the uncomfortable reality of declining vascular exposure in general surgery training and whether current "vascular expertise" standards are failing our patients. From the rise of endovascular technology to navigating institutional politics, our panel breaks down how to bridge the gap between specialties for better patient outcomes. This episode of Big T Trauma was sponsored by Teleflex, a global provider of medical devices. Learn more at teleflex.com and at the Teleflex Trauma and Emergency Medicine LinkedIn page.

USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 8 - Are we going to be replaced?15.12.2025 (00:27:57)
Welcome back to our BTK/ASGBI Series! During this series, BTK fellow Agnes Premkumar and ASGBI hosts Jared Wohlgemut and Gita Lingam compare and contrast various aspects of surgery between the United States and the United Kingdom, debating who does what better. We are happy to be continuing our AI discussion further with another episode. While last episode lay a foundation on discussing the unique differences in the role and regulation of AI in both these countries, now we delve into some of the clinical challenges. What does AI and the future of surgery look like in underserved locations such as the battlefield or the rural communities. What does this mean for our future as surgeons…will we be replaced? And how should we address the integration of AI within our practices? We are thrilled to have our trio of experts discussing this further. Dr. Nelson is a surgical oncologist working at the Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, he's very interested in expanding the role of AI within surgical education and beyond. Dr. Larson is a general surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic. She's currently in her research time and finishing up her master's degree in AI and studying the role of machine learning within surgical practice. Dr. Mukherjee is a surgeon scientist alongside an Honorary Consultant General & Major Trauma Surgeon in Liverpool, England. His current research bridges academia with industry and is aimed at transforming the treatment of critical illness through the development of next-generation therapies for pancreatitis-induced acute lung injury through the utilisation of cutting-edge AI driven drug discovery approaches. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

Journal Review in Minimally Invasive Surgery: Common Bile Duct Exploration08.12.2025 (00:25:09)
In this episode of Behind the Knife, the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) team dives deep into the evolving field of common bile duct exploration (CBDE). From the historical context of laparoscopic approaches to the latest advances including robotic-assisted techniques, Drs. Shaina Eckhouse, James Jung, Zachary Weitzner, and Joey Lew discuss key evidence shaping modern practice. Listeners will learn about indications and anatomy guiding trans-cystic versus trans-choledochal approaches, practical tips for safe stone clearance, and critical considerations around learning curves and team coordination for robotic procedures. The episode also highlights important studies comparing single-stage laparoscopic CBDE with staged ERCP and cholecystectomy, emphasizing outcomes such as stone clearance, pancreatitis rates, and hospital length of stay. This comprehensive overview is a must-listen for MIS and acute care surgeons interested in optimizing the management of choledocholithiasis and streamlining patient care with minimally invasive techniques. Hosts: - Shaina Eckhouse, MD, Bariatric Surgery Medical Director and Vice Chair of Clinical Operations, Department of Surgery, Duke University - James Jung, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Duke University - Zachary Weitzner, MD, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Fellow, Duke University, @ZachWeitznerMD - Joey Lew, MD, MFA, Surgical resident PGY-3, Duke University, @lew__actually Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: - Describe the historical approaches to managing choledocholithiasis, including staged interventions and the evolution toward single-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (CBDE). - Summarize key clinical evidence comparing CBDE and ERCP, including landmark studies and meta-analyses evaluating outcomes, complications, and trends over time. - Distinguish between transcystic and transcholedochal approaches to CBDE, explaining indications, contraindications, and technical nuances for each technique. - Identify appropriate candidates for transcystic exploration based on cystic duct anatomy and stone characteristics. - Recognize the impact of newer surgical technologies—such as digital choledochoscopy, Spyglass, and robotic platforms—on CBDE practice, efficiency, and safety. - Discuss the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork, preparation, and perioperative planning for successful CBDE, particularly in complex or altered anatomy cases. - Appraise the learning curve and quality of evidence for new CBDE procedures, outlining the need for mentorship, ongoing training, and knowing when to collaborate with GI or hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) surgery. - Outline approaches and bailout strategies for challenging cases, including patients with surgically altered anatomy and use of adjuncts such as intraoperative cholangiography (IOC), feeding tube placement, and Fanelli stents. - Evaluate safety outcomes and limitations associated with robotic-assisted CBDE and single-stage management, incorporating recent data from population-based studies. - Reflect on strategies for tailoring CBDE techniques to individual patient anatomy, surgeon experience, and available resources, advocating for evidence-based practice and continuous learning.

Clinical Challenges in Burn Surgery: Inhalation Injury01.12.2025 (00:22:13)
Does soot in the airway always mean an immediate intubation? Join our Burn Team as they debunk common myths surrounding inhalation injury and distinguish true airway threats from superficial flash burns. We break down critical management strategies, from the 'HAM' protocol to ventilator management, and explain why these patients require massive fluid resuscitation. Tune in to master these high-stakes clinical decisions and ensure you are ready for your next burn patient. Hosts: - Kathleen Romanowski – University of California Davis Hospital, Shriners Hospital Sacramento - Laura Johnson – Grady Memorial Hospital - Lauren Nosanov – Grady Memorial Hospital - Victoria Miles – Louisiana State University Health Science Center, University Medical Center New Orleans Learning Objectives: - Recognize the clinical features and diagnostic challenges of inhalation injury in burn patients, including differentiation from thermal airway injury and flash burns. - Apply evidence-based criteria to guide intubation and ventilatory management, including the avoidance of unnecessary intubation. - Implement key principles of supportive care and complication prevention, including fluid resuscitation, pharmacologic therapies, and long-term airway considerations.

The RVU Shake-Up: Why CMS Is Cutting Surgical Pay—and What It Means for You27.11.2025 (00:39:31)
In this episode, we break down the upcoming CMS policy that will reduce work RVUs for nearly all non–time-based surgical CPT codes beginning January 1st. Dr. Chris Childers, surgical oncologist and health-policy expert, and Christian Shaughnessy, ACS Senior VP for Advocacy, join us to explain what these cuts mean for surgeons in both private practice and employed models. We explore why CMS believes surgeons are becoming “more efficient,” and why newly published data suggest the opposite may be true. Our guests outline the downstream financial, workforce, and patient-access implications of this unprecedented policy shift. Finally, we discuss how every surgeon can—and should—take action now to help prevent these cuts from taking effect.

Journal Review in Vascular Surgery: Carotid Revascularization – CEA, Stent or Nothing at All? 13.11.2025 (00:43:13)
Carotid artery disease management has come a long way. From the days when every stroke meant an endarterectomy to a modern era defined by precision, evidence, and evolving technology. With advances in medical therapy and newer techniques like TCAR, the vascular surgeon has even more to consider when choosing the best treatment for carotid disease. Join us as we break down the major landmark trials NASCET, CREST and the Asymptomatic Carotid trials, and discuss how their findings shape our clinical decisions in practice today. Hosts: · Christian Hadeed -PGY 4 General Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Paul Haser -Division Chief, Vascular Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Andrew Harrington, Vascular surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Lucio Flores, Vascular surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center Learning Objectives: · Review the key findings and clinical implications of the NASCET, ACST, and CREST trials. · Discuss patient selection for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) vs carotid artery stenting (CAS). · Understand how age, calcification, and aortic arch anatomy affect stenting outcomes or choice between stent and CEA. · Identify how advances in medical therapy have influenced management of asymptomatic disease. · Discuss appropriate screening/ follow up plans for patients who do not meet criteria for intervention References: - North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators.
