2nd Tumor Symposium (first in 2023) and the 1st meeting of our new Society! We've got a fantastic group of speakers and topics with attendees coming from all over the world! Only a few spots left. If interested, please contact me: [email protected].

2/2 Nothing comes close to the impact of having 1 or more postop event (POE) - an increased odds of almost 30 fold!! While you can't predict everything that happens after surgery, there are definitely some that you can anticipate and prepare for! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3961…

1/2 When I started @LeBonheurChild & @StJude almost 15 yrs ago (😳), one of the first things I did was set up a number of prospective databases. In what will hopefully be a trilogy of papers, we first looked at predictors of extended LOS (>7days) after elective craniotomy.

Excited to announce the 2nd Tumor Symposium and the 1st meeting of the new Society for Pediatric Neurosurgical Oncology @ St Jude campus! Please reach out if interested in attending. A day and a half of fantastic speakers, a variety of topics and controversies to get into.

Shunt checklists are commonplace in pediatric neurosurgery. One key component is limiting OR traffic. Does it make a difference? While we couldn't answer that question, we did look at who came in and out of the OR in 50 cases with surprising results.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3957…

Will start posting our projects as they get published, more to give recognition to all those that contributed to the process. I welcome any and all comments and criticisms. Let me know what you liked and disliked about our work. @MemphisNSGY

Around the time COVID hit, I pulled back a bit on research and writing for a number of reasons. I had lost some of the excitement and passion. I feel the energy and desire returning...

What an incredible honor it was to host Dr. Jeff Blount as our 2024 Talley Family visiting professor. A giant in our field whose impact will be felt for many years. A kinder and more humble soul you will not find. On behalf of @MemphisNSGY, a heartfelt thank you, Jeff. – at Arlington, VA
