One of my FAVORITE tools for endoscopic necrosectomy in... pts with pancreatic necrosis is a trapezoid basket. Works great and allows you to remove a lot of necrosis in each session. What are your favorite tools? Please reply. #gitwitter #surgery Aslak Gottlieb GIEshow more

Where does endoscopy end & surgery begin? I think... it is not so clear anymore. Endoscopy is going places that only surgery went in the past. Video from a recent EPOEM for achalasia. Does this look like endoscopy to you? Thoughts? #gitwitter #surgery #medicine #medtwittershow more

Duodenal peptic stricture with PINHOLE lumen. Patient miserable. 20x60mm... Resilience stent placed to good effect! #gitwitter #surgery Endotekshow more

Chronic severe pyloric stenosis. Scarred and fibrotic. Failed dilations.... Treated with a Resilience stent to good effect! #gitwitter Endotek #surgeryshow more

Amazing "fly through" video of an EndoMaxx stent. Pt... had near total dysphagia from esophageal cancer, now fully open. #gitwitter #surgery #esophagus Endotekshow more

What amazes me about EUS-guided gallbladder drainages is how... they have gone from *nonexistent* to widespread in 10 yrs. When I started doing these a decade ago I got tremendous pushback from surgery/IR/etc and now they are essentially routine. #gitwitter #surgery #medicine #medxshow more

The moment Sarkodie said he wants to be like... Drake without getting surgery😌😂show more

Pt with complete dysphagia. Tumor ingrowth through the uncovered... part of a partially covered esophageal stent. Distal uncovered part had hyperplasia. Treated with a new stent inside the tumor ingrown part to good effect. #gitwitter #esophagus #surgery #medx #medtwittershow more

So. Many. Gallbladders. Elderly patient. Not a surgical candidate.... Axios placed into GB via EUS in 5 minutes to provide definitive gallbladder drainage and decompression. The world has changed. #gitwitter #surgery Douglas Pleskow Boston Scientific Endoscopy Tamta Chkhikvadze Praneeth Kudaravallishow more

This video shows one of the best moments of... GPOEM procedure - when the pyloric musculature first becomes visible. During tunneling & dissection of submucosal tissue, suddenly you can see the pylorus through the remaining tissue to dissect. #gitwitter #surgery #gastroparesisshow more

Wtf! My Windows laptop battery is draining like water 😭

Patient came for an ERCP and found to have... copious blood in stomach. Duodenum showed the following findings. What would your next move be? #gitwittershow more

Perfect example of surgery can be scary 💀

Robotic surgery in pancreatic cancer care: *Quo vadis?* 🩺🤖... In 2000, one of the first robot-assisted cholecystectomies in Belgium was performed UZ Leuven using the ZEUS system. Shortly after, the technology was acquired by Intuitive — a company that would become the global leader in robotic surgery. In 2013, this pioneering trajectory continued with one of Belgium’s first robotic Whipple procedures, using the da Vinci platform. After several cases, however, the robotic approach was paused due to its high cost and limited advantage over laparoscopy at that time. Today, robotic surgery is deeply integrated in complex abdominal procedures — including pancreatic resections. Industry investment in conventional laparoscopy has declined. Intuitive’s business model has evolved, and the cost of robotic surgery is now approaching parity with laparoscopic approaches. Technology has evolved. The market has too. **Is now the time to fully embrace robotic surgery – even for complex procedures like the Whipple?** 👇 Curious to hear your thoughts: Vote in the poll below and feel free to elaborate in the comments. #RoboticSurgery #Pancreaticcancer #Whipple #MedTech #SurgicalInnovation #Healthcare #MinimallyInvasiveshow more
