    Episode 2 - Pancreas matters: Vascular reconstructions & emergencies in pancreatic surgery

    During this episode we turn our focus to one of the more demanding aspects of pancreatic surgery: vascular reconstructions and intra-operative emergencies. These are moments that test not only technical ability, but judgement, preparation, and teamwork. Knowing when and how to perform vascular reconstruction - and how to respond when things don’t go to plan, can be the difference between success and catastrophe. We’re joined by the esteemed Professor Shailesh Shrikhande, former deputy director of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai and past president of the APHPBA.    Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to episode 05:28 Early influences: Heidelberg 15:59 Vascular reconstruction training 20:52 Navigating the complexities of arterial reconstructions 26:16 Managing vascular emergencies 34:03 Technical challenges in surgery 40:28 SMA first approach 49:48 Closing thoughts and remarks   Professor Shailesh Shrikhande is a globally recognised hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) and gastrointestinal surgical oncologist based in Mumbai, India. He is Professor of Surgical Oncology, Head of the GI and HPB Surgical Service, and Deputy Director at the Tata Memorial Centre, and is the immediate past president of the APHPBA. Internationally renowned for his expertise in complex pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancer surgery, he has trained at the Universities of Heidelberg and Bern, was the first Asian recipient of the IHPBA Kenneth Warren Fellowship, and has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed publications while making significant contributions to global HPB education and training.   References: Shrikhande SV, Kleeff J, Büchler MW, Friess H.

    Episode 1 - Presidential notes on redefining success: Legacy and leadership in HPB surgery

    HPB surgery is defined by complexity, high stakes, and constant pressure, it’s easy to measure success in numbers: cases performed, papers published, positions held. But what does a sustainable, fulfilling career in HPB surgery really look like over decades of practice? Dr Malini Bhana and Dr Brian Kiplagat Misoi are joined for our very first episode by Professor Eduard Jonas, President of the E-AHPBA. As head of surgical HPB training at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, Professor Jonas is extremely well published, with a special interest in CRLM and HCC. However, the reason Professor Jonas was chosen to open this series extends far beyond his academic and clinical accomplishments. Having had the privilege of training under him during their fellowship, Malini and Brian witnessed firsthand not only his exceptional expertise, but also his leadership, genuine kindness, and remarkable approachability. These qualities, more than any title or achievement, embody what true success looks like.   Chapters: 00:00    Introduction of hosts and guests 02:16    Career and journey of Professor Eduard Jonas 06:34    The role of mentorship 11:11    Legacy initiatives in HCC 21:05    HPB Training programmes and support 26:20    Defining a meaningful legacy   Articles Referenced: Jonas E, Smith M, Kassianides C, Luyirika E, Wendy Spearman C.
