There isn’t losing here. If an untrained “kid” could beat me, I’d say this is technology at its best. This is exactly what technology is for - to make us all better. Enabling those that might not be able to complete a task otherwise to do so efficiently. #roboticsurgery

Still so cold in Baltimore but no stopping meal prep on this Saturday. The chicken needs to be smoked! Don’t tell me chicken is boring until you taste this. 😍 🍗 You can’t be your best self without taking care of your body. #protein #livingwell

Saw a pre-op patient in clinic today. As she was leaving she had a big smile on her face & says “I can’t wait for you to cut me”! That should probably be seen as weird but I thought it was awesome 😎

Another example of robotic surgery decreasing LOS, thus increasing throughput, allowing us to help more patients! Awesome work by my colleagues Jin He and Marty Makary MD, MPH #roboticsurgery Hopkins Surgery

Think surgeons make too much? Interesting data & discussion from J. Bart Rose & Dr. Angela Sickels UAB Surgery We need to do better to encourage the best & brightest to enter the field! Surgeon Compensation Is Not on Pace with Increasing Student Debt facs.org/for-medical-pr…

I started my American College of Surgeons abstract reviews later than I should have. I’d say I’m a procrastinator but it’s just life & priorities. On little sleep today & last minute - but I made the deadline! Only to see it was extended 😆. #academicsurgeon Hopkins Surgery

Life hack. Carry your own air compressor in your car. Who wants to stop after a long day when you can top off a tire in the hospital parking garage.

Turned 45 this year. No one is excited for a colonoscopy but I’m less excited about not preventing cancer, finding it late, & not being around for my family. Today was colonoscopy day! Honestly, not a big deal. Go schedule yours if you’re putting it off. #coloncancerprevention

Another great day spreading knowledge. Robotic surgery, hernias, field trip to Temple University, receptive young residents demonstrating great potential AND interested in MIS - what more could this robotic hernia girl want? 😊 Eric Pauli #roboticsurgery #hernia #surgicaleducation

So excited to be at Intuitive Connect 2025! I’ve attended the 1st Connect & moderated several times, but this time is extra special as I’m attending at the request of American College of Surgeons as they explore the best ways to help their surgeons in the current surgical landscape.

Love an opportunity to see my colleagues at conferences - learning & sharing their expertise. Jin He is speaking on “The Art of Da Vinci Pancreas Surgery” tomorrow morning. I agree Dr He is a master of his craft! Hopkins Surgery Intuitive #Connect2025

Does force feedback (haptic feedback) actually make a clinic difference? Laila Rashidi shares her experience and her passion for “gentler” surgery. #IntuitiveConnect2025 #roboticsurgery

A productive & fun few days! Such an honor to share my knowledge & passion with American College of Surgeons as we explore ways to better serve our faculty. #roboticsurgery Intuitive

Honestly, it’s always the best part! We have our own little family of robotic surgeons. Good to see everyone!

Last week was a whirlwind! Hopkins Surgery received the latest version of DV5 (Intuitive 5th gen robot) & I completed my training on it, taught a group of awesome Hopkins residents robotic surgery, & my mini me won 2nd 🥈 overall in her state gymnastics meet! This week? LG!

Great 2 days at the inaugural HERnia Surgeons Alliance (HERSA) summit. Thankful to Bard sponsorship that supported a gathering of amazing hernia surgeons! Grateful to be included & walking away with new friends & new knowledge. Salvatore Docimo Andrea Pakula MD, MPH, FACS Gina Adrales herniabarbie Jenny Shao, MD, FACS (she/her)

A very special event! Learned tons & really enjoyed the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.

Roles flipped for me today & I get a turn being the patient. Thank goodness for antibiotics & lean cuisine, which is amazing when you haven’t been able to eat all day. Hoping to get out of here quickly! Take care of yourselves folks - I was super sick by the time I sought care.
