The latest podcast episode is with Dr. AJ Copeland- a general surgeon, retired Colonel in the Army, former President of the Association of Women Surgeons and current Regent for the American College of Surgeons, and a personal hero of mine. She describes her rise in leadership in major national surgery organizations. She is a self-described "joiner" and if there was a position that seemed right for her, she would always raise her hand to do it. Once involved in a position, she notes the importance of doing the work. She found meaningful work in AWS as a contributor on numerous projects including the AWS Pocket Mentor found here and creating the guide for patients on "What is a surgical resident" (found here) as an ACS governor. On this episode, she shared some tips on leadership: - if you find a need- either something that needs to get done, or you think you can do it better- then raise your hand and get involved - When in the position, do the work - Bring others along. You may see their potential before they do. Tell others about opportunities, and encourage them to apply. She stressed the importance of getting involved in national societies, especially the American College of Surgeons. The ACS is the umbrella organization for all surgical subspecialties. Unlike smaller societies, the ACS has the numbers to help lobby for change, advocate for what surgeons need, and provide other services like education (SESAP, ATLS, the Clinical Congress), quality (NSQIP), and other benefits. She is one of 24 Regents of the ACS, a part of the organization that is responsible for the big picture and directives for all surgeons. She was a Governor prior to this, a body of around 300 surgeons who act as representatives of the Fellows. Governors represent the Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, and are the official communications link between Fellows and the Board of Regents. https://www.womensurgeons.org/ https://www.facs.org/

Two or more of these findings means a probable appendectomy.  Peritoneal irritation is not a subtle finding and even the most stoic patients will grimace with palpation of the abdomen. Localized pain versus diffuse pain in all four quadrants can help determine if there is a rupture. Additional work up includes, as always, a good history, plus lab work an x[ray of the abdomen in this case, and finally, a CT scan with oral contrast. The CT is the gold standard and has decreased the number of negative appendectomies to 1-2%. Ultrasound can be used, and is often for pediatric patients, but has limitations. CT scans are more sensitive and specific for appendicitis. A white blood cell count is included in the lab work-up, but a patient with appendicitis may present with a normal white count. Conservative treatment is possible, but per the literature does have a failure rate, with anywhere from 25-50% of patients still requiring an appendectomy. A perforated appendix does not guarantee an immediate OR visit. Depending on the patient and the surgeon's comfort level, treatment may include a delayed appendectomy with antibiotics, plus or minus a percutaneous drain if an abscess is present. IV piperacillin tazobactam would be given as an inpatient, and oral Augmentin as an outpatient along with very close follow-up. For patients with a penicillin allergy, a fluoroquinolone plus metronidazole is appropriate. Surgery could occur approximately 8-12 weeks later after clinical and laboratory improvement. Stump appendicitis occurs when a patient presents with a classic presentation of an appendicitis, post a previous appendectomy. It happens most commonly with patients who had an appendicolith and the entire base was not removed in the original surgery. CASE 2:  Abdominal pain for patients that are pregnant can be complicated. Initial assessment includes a fetal exam, and assuring the viability of the fetus. Further consideration would include using ultrasound instead of CT for reduced radiation exposure. In this case, a woman presented with right upper quadrant tenderness, fever, and hyperbilirubinemia indicative of cholecystitis. If she had jaundice, this would be Charcot's triad and would indicate cholangitis. Early surgical consultation, especially for a pregnant patient is important. Failed conservative treatment for these patients can have adverse outcomes. For other work-up modalities, MRCP is an option, but if the patient is already going to the operating room, a cholangiogram can be performed in the OR with GI on standby for an ERCP, thereby eliminating the need for an extra test. MRCP is for patients that are not good operative candidates, and are too acute or sick to tolerate a procedure. A HIDA scan can evaluate whether the cystic duct is open and is good for non-toxic appearing patients where ultrasound is unremarkable or with fever of unknown origin. The ongoing treatment of cholecystitis whether surgical or nonsurgical depends on the patient and the severity of their illness. It turns out, antibiotic choice for cholecystitis is similar to that of appendicitis with perforation. Antibiotics can range from cefazolin to zosyn or even meropenem. For severely penicillin allergic patients, a fluoroquinolone plus metronidazole can be used. For patients that are higher acuity, whether due to calculous or acalculous cholecystitis, and are not good surgical candidates, a percutaneous drain may be indicated. Post-cholecystectomy, 85-90% of patients will not notice a change, 10% will report a looser bowel pattern, and 1% of patients will experience severe diarrhea. These patients can be treated with a bile binding medication like cholestyramine. A key point today, the gallbladder is a surgical disease and Dr. Elftmann recommends early surgical consultation.

Post hoc analyses What is a post hoc analysis? Analyzing data after a study has already had conclusions made and looking for patterns that were not prespecified. Dr. Streiner’s advice for researchers: Pick a small number of primary outcomes and develop a narrow hypothesis. Then use post hoc analysis as a means of assessing future questions that can be investigated in a subsequent study. Dr. Streiner’s advice for clinicians: Treat a post hoc analysis as a hypothesis that requires further study. It should be viewed with some degree of suspicion because it may have been significant only by chance.

International Exchange Program at Clinical Congress 2016 Listen as members of the Resident and Associate Society (RAS) interview International Exchange Program (IEP) scholars who attended Clinical Congress 2016 in Washington, DC. Each year, international scholars travel from their home countries to attend the annual ACS Clinical Congress, while scholars from the U.S. travel to attend the equivalent surgical congress abroad. In this podcast, we hear about the differences in training paradigms around the world from our scholars Shirley Potter (Ireland), Christine Goh (Australia), and Andrea Peloso (Italy). We also speak with Edward Shipper, the current RAS Communications Vice-Chair and recent IEP scholar, regarding his experience attending the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress last May.

This week we bring you a special episode to track the current ACS Clinical Congress in Chicago.  We (Kevin, Jason, and John) couldn't attend, but Dr. Steele is in attendance and gave up us some highlights thus far.  He also got us hooked up with Dr. Ali Salim who discussed the conference and gave us some potentially practice changing updates!   Finally, we welcome Dr. Luke Selby who gave us a resident's perspective on the conference as well as new thoughts at the conference on resident training. Enjoy!.....especially if you couldn't make it like us!
