Risk of main duct dilatation in mixed-type IPMN 🌿 in CGH Risk of cancer at 2 and 5 years: ⚠️ 5-9 mm ➡️ 8% and 10% 🚨 > 10 mm ➡️ 16% and 33% 🔥 Hot topic at EPC-Europ Pancr Club 2023 and for the upcoming guidelines !!! cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…

Societies such as GBIHPBA AUGIS should promote and trainees should do fellowships like Derby Pancreaticobiliary & Robotic AWR Unit

One of my favorite attendings from med school gave me advice that I still think about to this day. Over the past 5 years of residency, I've adjusted some items to be more applicable to a surgery resident so here is a 🧵of Dr. Touss' 5 rules of 💩 (w/ surgical modification) ...

Got asked to help out with a nice EMR this week. I've become a big fan of Tip-In EMR for certain polyps. Are you using it in your practice? What would have been your resection strategy of choice on this polyp? Mohammad Bilal, MD Mohamed Othman Robert Bechara Neil Sharma, M.D. FASGE, FACG, AGAF
