🚨 Check out our new paper in Annals of Surgery : In a large regional cohort of 160K+ GERD patients, low socioeconomic status independently predicted progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma—driven by disparities in access to endoscopy, insurance, and surveillance. 🔓 Full text

📢 Our recent study is out in the June issue of Surgical Endoscopy! We compared laparoscopic pyloroplasty vs G‑POEM for gastroparesis in 314 patients: ✅ Symptom relief: 76% (pyloroplasty) vs 70% (G‑POEM) 📉GCSI improved in both groups 📊Pyloroplasty showed a trend toward

Advanced Practice Provider Spotlight: Meet Margaret Gardner, PA-C, a driving force in foregut care at Allegheny Health Network. From the OR to research leadership, she’s making an impact at every level. #APPSpotlight #ForegutCare #SSAT Shahin Ayazi AHN

📢New from our group in the June issue of JOGS : In patients with anatomically intact Nissen fundoplication, objective reflux control is durable—94% acid normalization at 1 year, 91% at 4 years. Waning acid control is rare (9%) and was not associated with symptom

🚨 New from our group in JOGS First study to evaluate mucosal impedance (MI) after antireflux surgery. MI values after successful Nissen fundoplication resemble non-GERD controls, while failures show persistent GERD-like patterns. MI may serve as an objective

📢 New from our group in Surgical Endoscopy SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! In patients with anatomical failure after fundoplication, an abnormal DeMeester score predicts both the need for revisional ARS and favorable outcomes (PPI freedom & satisfaction) post-revision. 🧪 pH monitoring remains

🚨New in Foregut Journal (Open Access) From endoscopy to legislation, Chevalier Jackson revolutionized esophageal care—and saved countless lives. We explore his legacy in medicine and public health reform: doi.org/10.1177/263451… SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! Keith Siau Dr Celestino Gutiérrez González MD 🇪🇸🍏🇻🇪

📹 Starting GI fellowship? This review in Foregut Journal breaks down how to approach endoscopy before and after antireflux surgery—what to look for, how to recognize failure, and why anatomy matters. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/263451… SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! ACG Keith Siau

👩‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️ Starting GI or Foregut fellowship? A solid grasp of esophageal manometry is key to preop planning for antireflux surgery. This review in Foregut Journal discusses: 🔹 Why manometry remains essential before ARS 🔹 How motility data informs surgical choice 🔹 The rationale

📢 New from our group in Surgical Endoscopy SAGES is in Tampa in 2026!: Can physiology testing help predict risk progression in Barrett’s? In this study, esophageal acid exposure and poor clearance correlated with TSP-9 biomarker risk score for HGD/EAC. 🔍 Especially relevant in patients

Our group’s review in Thoracic Surgery Clinics Surgical Clinics takes a comprehensive look at complications after paraesophageal hernia repair: 🔹 Reherniation: acute vs late 🔹 Mesh: erosion, fibrosis, reoperation risk 🔹 Gastroparesis: when to test and treat 🔹 Perforation:
