Fully agree. For UK pioneers I would add: Sir James Cantlie and James Hogarth Pringle, Sir Roy Calne. Then those who established liver surgery in the UK: Graeme Poston, Andrew Wu, David Sherlock, Merv Rees, Nigel Heaton. #liver #surgery #transplantation Many others - please add.

I don't agree. Sometimes I choose robotic surgery (cancer operations) sometimes laparoscopic (cholecystectomy, hernia & appendectomy), sometimes open when I want to do it properly ( redo, emergency and trauma). The more tools in the toolbox the better. #surgery

Dear predatory journals and conferences. I grudgingly respect your persistence. I have a Chinese name, but it's not Doreen Chung!
