Great work team! #neurosurgery

More strong work from the #cranial #neurosurgery research group!

Wisdom from the past & present from two pioneers of #neurosurgey - #Cushing & #Almefty Definitely wise to stage these large cases as it helps both the patient and the surgeon. Neurosurgery Publications academic.oup.com/ons/advance-ar…

While driving my son to school, he asked, “Why don’t you play video games all day?” I told him it was because it I get to “play” #neurosurgery. And as I stepped into the OR this morning, I realized - as I do every day - that this job is a #privilege and REALLY awesome!

The #endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). Simple, elegant, & effective @VUMC_Neurosurg #anatomy #neurosurgery

Great day in the #mountains skiing the Highland Bowl! One step in front of the other & relentless forward progress - just like #neurosurgery

#Teamwork in #neurosurgery. Everyone is all smiles after the #brain tumor is out! @VUMC_Neurosurg

#Meningiomas and miles… great way to end a busy tumor rotation with Pete Morone, MD, MSCI and Reid C. Thompson , just missing @lola_chambless @VUMC_Neurosurg

Well said! Shout-out to Neurooncology team @VUMC_Neurosurg @VUMCneurology @VUMCradiology. Such multidisciplinary collaborations fuels our passion for excellent outcomes. #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth @lola_chambless Reid C. Thompson Pete Morone, MD, MSCI @VUMC_Cancer bit.ly/3w8jnMy

Proud to scrub a #neurosurgery case with our #AMAZING chief residents before their graduation! The days are long, but 7 years couldn’t go by faster! @VUMC_Neurosurg

No significant difference in onlay vs sutured dural repair after #meningioma resection. #neurosurgery

After a great day at #CNS2022 I went for a run. #neurosurgery CNS

Greater than 2x more likely to have SDH recurrence if using cold saline vs. warm saline. I also use body temp saline on all #neurosurgery #tumor resections and have found it helpful for hemostasis.

Check out this amazing #brain that one of our patients crocheted after #neurosurgery! Presented with seizure & diffuse glioma involving the motor cortex. Using intraop mapping, we found a safe entry and removed >95% of tumor while preserving function. :) @VUMC_Neurosurg

Late breaking at #ASCO23: Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 are common in low-grade glioma. The IDH inhibitor vorasidenib improved progression-free survival as compared with placebo. Full results of the INDIGO trial: nej.md/3N8N5dU

I wasn't a math major, but a 3.4% #Medicare #physician cut, coupled w/a 4.6% increase in practice cost inflation = an 8.0% cut! #Congress must act this yr. to prevent these cuts & enact long-term reform (#HR2474) so payments keep pace w/inflation. Ask Congress to #FixMedicareNow!

Love this! Now that I understand “technical pearls” of removing the leg from the joint maybe I will have some success.
