Anatomy doesn't read textbooks. 11 faces of the cystic artery, one Calot's triangle. The aberrant RHA from SMA is not rare, it's a trap ⚠️. Achieve Critical View 👁️, then clip. The unusual is the usual. #BiliaryAnatomy #Cholecystectomy #SoMe4Surgery #GITwitter #MedTwitter

High time for pharmacotherapy in recurrent acute pancreatitis! While the PAMORA-RAP trial showed no difference in pain flares, hospitalizations, or endo/exocrine function, it’s a massive step forward. #MedTwitter #naldemedine #PAMORA

The UEG Journal best paper prize has been awarded at #UEGWeek 2026 to Mathias Cook for his paper on Naldemedine for preventing recurrent acute pancreatitis. This research brings hope to many patients where this is no preventative options available. Congratulations 👏🏆 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Grateful for the invitation from ASGNA to speak at "Changing Seasons, Changing Practice." Cold snare polypectomy is a topic I love, and I enjoyed sharing it with such an engaged group of GI nurses! 🌵 #Gastroenterology #GINurses #ASGNA

The scout film is an underappreciated starting point for successful ERCP. Before the scope goes in: – Orient with the gastric bubble – Use 12th rib to identify T12 - Then position L1–L3 at bottom right of image – Rule out free air *before* you start and save image

Anastomotic leaks are notoriously difficult to manage and often refractory to conventional endoscopic therapies. Could combining fully covered stents + endoscopic vacuum therapy improve outcomes? tigejournal.org/article/S259… An interesting case series of 5 patients explores this approach. ⚠️ The caveat with small case series: selection and publication bias. Successful cases are more likely to be reported, so results may not reflect real-world effectiveness.

An Adaptive Method of Combined Stenting and Negative Pressure Therapy for Anastomotic Leakage After...

Despite advances in multimodal oncological therapy, major esophageal and gastric resections remain a cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal and gastric malignancies. Anastomotic leakage is...

Biliary Anatomy on call: CBD ≤6mm. Up to 10mm post-chole is ok. IHBD should be invisible. If dilated = obstruction. CBD grows ∼1mm/decade after 60. Red flags: Dilated CBD + IHBD + abnormal LFTs. Correlate clinically. #POCUS #GITwitter #SoMe4Surgery Image: @AliAlmutairiMD

R4U Safety Line during Lap Chole Above the line =😊 Happy surgeon Below the line =😡 Call your lawyer The yellow line is not a suggestion. It’s a property boundary Do NOT cross it unless you want to meet the CBD and Bile Duct Injury Dissect in the green zone. Fear the red zone

How to do a complete Sphinecterotomy Books usually teach to keep 1/3 wire to keep inside to do sphincterotomy But when you go near to the duodenal wall keeping the 1/3 wire inside can injure the extraduodenal wall of CBD and cause perforation. 1/2

Does size of the biliary stents impact resolution of bile leak after fenestrated cholecystectomy? No ! giejournal.org/article/S0016…

Evaluating the impact of different biliary stents for bile leak after fenestrated cholecystectomy:...

Fenestrated cholecystectomy (FC), in which the gallbladder is left open, has been used to reduce the risk of common bile duct (CBD) injury. FC significantly increases the risk of postcholecystectomy...

AI generated papers and AI generated reviews. Not sure where the academic world is heading. Understand it’s hard to find reviewers but there should be strong penalties for such work. #IMO #academicworld #GI #Gastroenterology #medicine

Eight Couinaud liver segments are difficult to remember. Try my technique, let me know if it helps! Basically they are similar to the numbers on the clock 🕝 with "6" being the lowest segment and on the right My handdrawn figure to help understand (or to amuse) better
