#RCT comparing #RYGB and #LSG shows at 3-year postop, RYGB is better in weight-related QOL, reflux, weight loss, DM2 remission. No difference in abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea, dumping, & depression and binge eating. This info should be included in the preop consent

This is comforting to know for days when I don't feel I'm optimized for efficiency. Helps get rid of some of the guilt!

This is some of the most compelling evidence that closing mesenteric defects in RYGB reduces SBO-related surgery up to 10 years postop. Very curious to see if this significantly changes surgeons' practices

Not just any certificate. It's the Emory Surgery certificate. Congrats Carrie (Poorman) Hall Adriana Ramirez Kat Fay Danny Mou, MD MPH

How often do you see an #RCT in Surgery? Congrats to Elizabeth Hechenbleikner, MD and Emory Surgery for showing that the use of suction calibration system does not reduce stapler load firings or OR time when compared to use of EGD for sleeve calibration Edward Lin

Hot off the press! The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in cost per sleeve gastrectomy, leading to a precipitous decline in profits that crosses the break-even point in Q3 2022 #EmorySurgery Edward Lin Scott Jyotirmay Sharma @surgendosc

New study examining the cost of bariatric operations in the US. It highlights significant variation between hospitals and suggests a potential cost reduction in high-volume institutions. Standardization of costs could enhance the value of bariatric care. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

In the Nice Guys Finish First category: Today was Dr. Pardon Kenney's last operative case after a storied career in Surgery. Pardon trained hundreds & led Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital as Chief of Surgery for many years.

Happily, Dr. Kenney will remain a part of our teaching faculty.
