    Clinical Challenges in Endocrine Surgery: Adrenal Cases

    There are many acceptable approaches to adrenalectomy. Hypercortisolism with adrenal origin is a challenging topic especially in a population where obesity is incredibly common.  A thorough biochemical workup involving endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons is key to offering the best surgery.   Large adrenal tumors with indeterminate imaging characteristics have historically been removed with an open surgical approach.  However, with modern robotic technology, it is possible to remove these successfully using a minimally invasive approach with a high-volume surgeon.  Today we will discuss some clinically challenging adrenal cases addressing the above issues, and include tips and tricks from an expert, high-volume robotic adrenal endocrine surgeon.     Hosts: - Amanda Doubleday, DO, MBA, Assistant Professor, Waukesha Surgical Specialists, ProHealth Care.

    Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery Series: Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    This mini-series on Behind the Knife will delve into the technical aspects of the Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery, developed through the American College of Surgeons Cancer Research Program. This third episode highlights the Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary cancer operative standard. Hosts: Eliza W. Beal, MD, FACS (X: @ElizaWBealMD) is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary surgeon at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit. She is also an associate professor of Oncology and Surgery at Wayne State University School of Medicine. Morgan Jackson, MD is a general surgery resident at the Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. Daniel Nelson, MD, FACS, FSSO (X: @DWNelsonHPB) is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary surgeon at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center - Chattanooga. Hop Sanderson Tran Cao, MD, FACS (X: @HopSTranCao) is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary surgeon at MD Anderson Cancer Center.  Guest:Alice Wei, MD is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering and associate professor of surgery at Weill Cornell School of Medicine. Dr. Wei contributed to the development of the operative standards for HPB surgery.  Learning Objectives: The goals of this podcast are to provide education about the standards, generate discussion, and offer technical pearls to both oncologic specialists and general surgeons, to all of whom these standards apply. In this podcast we discuss the operative standards for liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, which includes that the surgeon should: (1) perform a thorough inspection of the liver and abdomen, either laparoscopically or open, including performing liver ultrasound, and (2) should resect all lesions to macroscopically negative margins, preferably with an anatomic resection. Our guest Dr. Wei also provides technical tips, pearls for improving skills performing and interpreting liver ultrasound, and discusses the role of lymphadenectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.  References: Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery, Volume 3: Sarcoma, Adrenal, Neuroendocrine, Peritoneal, Urothelial, Hepatobiliary https://www.facs.org/quality-programs/cancer-programs/cancer-surgery-standards-program/operative-standards-for-cancer-surgery/purchase/ Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium: https://behindtheknife.org/premiumOral Board Review: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-boardOral Board Simulator: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-board/simulatorGeneral Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-reviewOBGYN Oral Board Review Coures: https://behindtheknife.org/course/obgyn-oral-board-reviewEPA Playbook: https://behindtheknife.org/course/epa-playbookSurgical Instrument Flashcards: https://behindtheknife.org/course/surgical-instrument-flashcardsABSITE Review: https://behindtheknife.org/course/absite-2026-exam-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

    USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 10 - The Nuanced Approach to Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

    In this episode, we discuss all things abdominal wall reconstruction. What is this new developing field, just patching “holes” with meshes or something more? We delve into the impact of the robot in transforming this speciality in new ways. We also explore the reasons that make the field of abdominal wall reconstruction so special (the creativity in surgical planning and the unique patient-provider relationship).  Joining BTK fellow Agnes Premkumar and ASGBI hosts Elizabeth McLennan and Gita Lingam are Dr. Conrad Ballecer and Dr. Akash Mehta.  Dr. Conrad Ballecer is an internationally renowned minimally invasive surgeon, focused on abdominal wall reconstruction. He currently works at Creighton University in Phoenix with complex hernias and frequently publicizes his surgical videos for education! Mr. Mehta is a consultant colorectal surgeon at St. Mark’s Hospital in London, United Kingdom. He is interested in intestinal failure and rehabilitation surgery. He is also the lead for the region's abdominal wall multidisciplinary team and has successfully established a minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery program.  This episode is dedicated to Professor Neil Smart, a visionary surgeon from the UK who was a lifelong advocate for hernia surgery and patients. His legacy lives on.   Let us know what you think! And be on the lookout for more ASGBI/BTK collaborative episodes.

    Surgical Endoscopy Series Ep. 5: Novel Endosurgical Techniques

    In this surgical endoscopy episode, the BTK team introduces endoscopic surgical procedures that are perhaps less well known. They cover primary endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal plication, intestinal resurfacing procedures, and magnet-assisted enteric anastomoses. Endoscopic options may be viable alternatives to surgical treatment, especially in case where the surgical alternatives may significantly increase morbidity.

    Journal Review in Thoracic Surgery: Empowering IMGs in CT Surgery - the Time to Act is Now

    Navigating the path to becoming a surgeon in the US as an International Medical Graduate (IMG) can definitely have its hurdles. In this episode we sit down with Professor of Surgery, Dr. Ourania Preventza about her journey as an IMG, and how to break down the barriers in one of the most competitive surgical subspecialties. Dr. Preventza teaches us why sponsorship is invaluable, and how we as a surgical community can help support this vulnerable group of providers. With years of experience to offer, both as an IMG herself, and now as a fierce advocate and mentor for trainees, this interview with Dr. Preventza is not one to miss.
