Dr. Salazar-Reyes has a warning that catches almost everyone off guard: put an ice pack on a fresh incision and you can choke off the blood flow that keeps the skin alive. Because your sensation is dulled afterward, you won't feel the burn until the damage is already done.Monique Ramsey gathers years of recovery answers into one guide that follows the whole arc — the mindset going in, the first hard days, and what healing actually feels like procedure by procedure.Along the way the LJCSC surgeons and team get specific: why a breast augmentation under the muscle aches more than one placed over it, how long eyelid swelling really lasts, when it's safe to drive again, what a 360 liposuction recovery involves with drains and compression, and the clean-sheets-and-no-pets rule nobody thinks about until they're already home.There's also the part people forget to plan for — where to stay those first nights, the lymphatic help that opens women's eyes the day after their drains come out, and one surgeon's answer to a golfer who wanted to hit balls two days post-op.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a minimally invasive blood-based biomarker, has emerged as one of the most promising advances in cancer surveillance. Today, we will explore how ctDNA is transforming the management of colorectal cancer and anal squamous cell cancer across the disease continuum—from risk stratification and adjuvant therapy decision-making to surveillance and early detection of recurrence. Through landmark clinical trials, real-world applications, and emerging research, we will examine how ctDNA is helping move cancer care closer to the goal of truly personalized medicine.Hosts: ·       Dr. Janet Alvarez - General Surgery Resident at New York Medical College/Metropolitan Hospital Center·       Dr. Wini Zambare – General Surgery Resident at Weill Cornell Medical Center/New York Presbyterian·       Dr. Philip Bauer, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Arthur G.

Contributor; Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Thoracotomy  Thoracotomy is used in traumatic cardiac arrest to replace conventional CPR with direct access to the chest. Goals include identifying and controlling reversible causes of bleeding, prioritizing blood flow to the heart and brain, and performing open cardiac massage. Trauma categories Penetrating trauma: Gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Has a higher chance of survival because the injury may be localized and directly repairable. Cardiac stab wounds may have the highest survivability because the defect can be visualized, repaired, and treated with blood administration. Blunt trauma: Motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Has a much lower chance of survival. Western guidelines EMS must witness the patient lose pulses. Penetrating trauma: CPR for less than 15 minutes. Blunt trauma: CPR for less than 10 minutes. Survival decreases to essentially zero beyond these time limits. Eastern guidelines Focus on the presence of signs of life in blunt or penetrating trauma. Signs of life may include: Pupillary response. Measurable blood pressure. Purposeful movement. Patient selection Thoracotomy should only be performed when the patient has a reasonable chance of survival. It is a highly morbid procedure with significant occupational risks, including needlestick injury. Appropriate patient selection and timing are essential. Procedure Begin on the left side of the chest. Cross-clamp the aorta to restrict blood flow below the heart and prioritize circulation to the heart and brain. Identify and repair visible sources of bleeding involving structures such as the heart or lungs. Perform open cardiac massage as the equivalent of CPR. ACLS medications may still be administered.

Could the biggest opportunities to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) be the ones you've stopped noticing? In this week's special season co-release episode, Garrett Hollembeak sits down with Crystal Heishman for a conversation about seeing SSI prevention through a different lens. With experience spanning Infection Prevention, Sterile Processing, and the Operating Room, Crystal shares how stronger collaboration can help teams identify risks before they affect patient safety. She explains why spending time in the OR, asking thoughtful questions, and understanding workflows builds trust, uncovers hidden opportunities for improvement, and helps teams focus on process deviations -- not "gotcha" moments. If stronger collaboration starts with stronger conversations, this episode offers practical ideas you can take back to your next huddle.

Here's a question most surgeons have never asked themselves: how many patients do you need to see in clinic to get the number of operations you want each month? In Episode 239 of BOSS: Business of Surgery, host Dr. Amy Vertrees walks through the full patient-to-OR pipeline — from referral to completed case — and shows you how to calculate your own conversion rate so you can predict your operative volume, identify where patients are dropping off, and have a data-driven answer ready when an administrator asks why your case numbers are low. This is the clinic math framework. It covers every step in the funnel: referral source and referral volume, appointment scheduling drop-off, no-show rate, clinic-to-OR conversion rate, OR no-shows and cancellations, and how to calculate how many clinic patients you actually need per booked case. Dr. Vertrees also walks through how subspecialty mix affects your ratio — why a breast or colorectal surgeon with a high proportion of non-operative visits will always need to see more patients per case than a hernia-focused surgeon — and what to do about it. Real numbers included: 100 referrals → 90 appointments → 80 shows → 30 booked cases → 27 completed operations. If you're seeing that kind of attrition and didn't know it, this episode will change how you think about your clinic. Whether you're a new attending trying to build volume, an established surgeon whose numbers have quietly slipped, or a surgeon preparing for a difficult conversation with hospital leadership, this is the episode to hear first.

In today's episode, we spoke with Neil D. Gross, MD, FACS. Dr Gross is the medical director of Perioperative Surgical Services, section chief of Oropharynx Cancer, Surgery, and professor of head and neck surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In our exclusive interview, Dr Gross discussed the key biological and clinical distinctions between cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), noting that although BCC is more indolent and less responsive to systemic therapies, including immunotherapy, CSCC carries a meaningful risk of nodal and distant metastases and has demonstrated robust responses to anti–PD-1 therapy, with approximately half of patients achieving a significant response.He emphasized the importance of early multidisciplinary evaluation, with resectability serving as a critical first branch point in treatment planning. For patients with unresectable or metastatic CSCC, anti–PD-1 therapy is now the established standard of care. For borderline resectable patients, such as those at risk for significant functional loss from surgery, upfront systemic therapy offers the potential to preserve function and achieve cure. For resectable, high-risk patients, Gross highlighted the role of adjuvant cemiplimab-rwlc (Libtayo) following surgery and radiation, based on data from the phase 3 C-POST trial (NCT03969004).The discussion also addressed toxicity considerations in elderly and immunocompromised patients, populations Gross described as particularly high risk and underserved. He noted that although anti–PD-1 therapies are generally well tolerated, serious toxicities remain possible, underscoring the importance of careful patient monitoring in both adjuvant and investigational neoadjuvant settings.Finally, Gross highlighted the actively accruing phase 3 NRG-HN014 trial (NCT06568172), a National Cancer Institute–sponsored cooperative group study open across the United States, Canada, and Australia, which is evaluating a neoadjuvant approach vs upfront surgery in patients with advanced resectable CSCC. He also noted that more mature data from C-POST, as well as long-term phase 2 neoadjuvant findings, are anticipated later this year. [CS1]https://faculty.mdanderson.org/profiles/neil_gross.html

When your doctor recommends surgery, there is one question most runners never ask. But it may be the most important question of the entire conversation. In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains why runners should not simply accept a recommendation for surgery without understanding how confident the surgeon is that the procedure will actually get them back to running. Using a recent second-opinion strategy call with an experienced ultrarunner, Dr. Segler discusses how asking for a "guarantee" isn't really about demanding certainty—it's about understanding your surgeon's confidence, expectations, and reasoning. In this episode, you'll learn: • The one question most runners are afraid to ask before surgery • Why "Can you guarantee I'll get back to running?" is really about confidence, not contracts • How surgeons think differently about different injuries • Why vague surgical recommendations should prompt more questions • How to decide whether surgery truly supports your running goals • Why reassurance and clarity matter before making a permanent decision The goal is not simply having surgery. The goal is choosing the treatment that gives you the best chance of getting back to running.

Elizabeth Wehrle of Montezuma went into the hospital in February and this week she gets to go home. In March, she received a first-of-its-kind lifesaving surgery, a quadruple organ transplant. On this episode, we talk with Wehrle and Dr. Ankit Bharat of Northwestern Medicine, the lead surgeon for this groundbreaking procedure. We hear about the health issues that led to these transplants, what this surgical advancement means and what goes into the decision to perform a surgery that hasn't been done before. Then, we talk with Suzanna de Baca, Iowa author of 'You Were Never Lost: Poems From The Tallgrass Prairie.'

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN — a physical therapist and holistic nurse with over 30 years of experience in pelvic health, and one of the country's leading experts in shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Stacey breaks down why up to 30% of women may experience vulvodynia (and why that number is likely underreported), how chronic low back pain can actually be rooted in a tight, "upregulated" pelvic floor, and why men are even less likely than women to get evaluated for pelvic floor issues. We dig into the emotional and physical toll of being told "it's all in your head," the fascia's role in referred pain, and how shockwave — a completely external, non-invasive technology originally developed to break up kidney stones — is now accelerating healing for incontinence, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and vaginismus. Stacey also shares an eyebrow-raising pilot finding on shockwave and testosterone.

What if the best Sleep Apnea ENT solution isn't surgery?In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Madan Kandula, MD, board-certified ENT, founder and CEO of ADVENT, to explore a different approach to treating obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, breathing problems, and other ENT-related conditions.Dr. Kandula challenges the idea that seeing a surgeon must lead to surgery. Instead, the conversation focuses on understanding the whole patient, identifying the underlying causes of their breathing and sleep problems, and finding the treatment that best fits their individual needs.We discuss:• Why surgery is not always the answer• Non-invasive and minimally invasive approaches to obstructive sleep apnea and breathing problems• Why listening to the patient is essential to finding the right solution• The importance of understanding each patient's struggles, goals, and treatment preferences• Why a patient-centered approach can lead to better care and better outcomes• How putting patients first can also contribute to the long-term success of a healthcare organizationDr. Kandula also shares his perspective on building a different kind of ENT practice—one focused on simplifying the patient journey and offering multiple treatment pathways rather than approaching every problem with the same solution.This conversation goes beyond ENT and sleep apnea. It's about rethinking healthcare around the person who matters most: the patient.

When sunny summer days come around, it makes some dermatologists shudder. They would prefer we behave like bats and hide in caves until nightfall. Failing that, they stress the importance of always applying (and re-applying) high SPF sunscreen, wearing sun-blocking clothing with long sleeves and keeping a big-brimmed hat firmly on the head. A beekeeper's outfit might be perfect. But must you really shun the sun completely to save your skin? Our guest describes how to practice moderation safely. He also explains why some people are addicted to sunshine, while others are allergic to it. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems.

Can You Really Be Addicted to Sunlight? Dermatologists do their best to discourage people from using tanning beds. They describe the damage that ultraviolet light can cause, ranging from wrinkles to skin cancer. For some people, though, those arguments just don't make a difference. Our guest, Dr. Steve Feldman, conducted a study several years ago. The volunteers were accustomed to using tanning beds. In the study, there were two beds, one with the usual ultraviolet light and the other, identical in appearance and temperature, had its UV blocked. After a session in each bed, volunteers were allowed to choose their bed for the last session. They almost invariably chose the bed with the active UV. To follow up, the researchers administered naltrexone, the opioid-blocking medication. When volunteers had taken it, they were no longer able to distinguish which bed was active. It seems that, for these people, ultraviolet light activates pro-opiomelanocortin, which in turn triggers the production of natural opioids called endorphins. Further research imaging the brain during tanning sessions confirmed that the UV exposure was activating areas of the brain associated with pleasure (Psychiatry Research. Neuroimaging, May 30, 2016).  Dr. Feldman and a colleague found that excessive indoor tanning is similar in pattern to substance use disorders (Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, May-June 2025). Can You Save Your Skin and Still Enjoy the Outdoors? Dr. Feldman offers advice on avoiding sunburn that is tempered with this fact from epidemiology: people who go out in the sun live longer (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, July 13, 2020).  The goal here is not to shun the sun completely, but rather to exercise enough caution and good judgment to avoid burning your skin. (Who wants to burn, anyway? It hurts, and it looks bad.) Timing your sun exposure carefully is crucial to save your skin from sunburn. You may also be interested in the new sunscreen ingredient the FDA just approved, bemotrizinol. What Can You Do About Heat Rash? When the weather gets hot and bodies get sweaty, heat rash becomes a common complaint. Sweaty skin may develop bumps that can sometimes be very itchy. What do you do to ease the discomfort? If you can cool the skin off, it might help a lot. Of course, people may also suffer from other types of rash. Babies get diaper rash. Women sometimes experience under-breast rash, just as men may develop jock itch. Zinc oxide ointment can often be helpful for these types of rash. Managing Psoriasis Psoriasis is one of Dr. Feldman's special research interests. The red scaly plaques of this skin condition have raised borders. They look a lot like a fungal infection, but there is no fungus present on the skin to cause them. Something else seems to trigger the skin's immune system to react along the same pathways as if there were a fungus. Most of the time, psoriasis is mild enough to manage without costly medications. It actually responds very well to ultraviolet light exposure. UV downregulates the immune system's over-response. While many dermatologists offer UV exposure within their office walls, in the summertime patients could get exposure to sunlight outdoors. This is practical if they avoid the middle of the day, when they might get burned. Another option? Tanning beds also offer an easy way to calibrate the appropriate amount of UV exposure to save your skin from psoriasis. (Most dermatologists don't approve of this one, so don't tell.) One other practical but unorthodox tip for dealing with mild psoriasis. OTC cortisone may not be strong enough to help heal up a red spot. But you could buy Flonase nasal spray or a generic version, fluticasone, over the counter. Spray it on your skin and appreciate the relief. In fact, this could work for a mild case of poison ivy or other skin irritation as well. Severe cases still need a dermatologist's care. What to Do About Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is the medical term for eczema. People with allergies or asthma also appear to be more vulnerable to eczema. Dysregulation of the immune mediators interleukin 4 (IL4) or IL13 may be responsible. This condition may appear in a mild form, which can be readily managed, or a more severe form that might require prescription medication. A topical corticosteroid such as triamcinolone will often clear it up. Or you could try spraying on some Flonase nasal spray for a cost-effective low-key approach. Those will actually help the majority of people with mild eczema. Using mild soap rather than detergent-based body wash, moisturizing well and following an anti-inflammatory diet are the pillars of home management. People with more severe atopic dermatitis covering a large portion of the body may need powerful prescription medication rather than topical steroids. Trying to cover so much skin with steroid would probably result in side effects from the cream. Dupixent (dupilumab) is a relatively new self-injectable medication that blocks IL4 and IL13. It works well for most people with atopic dermatitis and has a good safety profile. Certain other drugs in this category, such as Skyrizi (risankizumab), are also pretty safe but very pricey. Stelara (ustekinumab), has been around longer. Biosimilars for Stelara have been approved and are more affordable. Ustekinumab blocks IL12 and IL23. TV ads tout other medicines for this condition as well. Rinvoq (upadacitinib) is three or four times more effective than Dupixent, but it is also super expensive. It is a Janus-kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Xeljanz (tofacitinib) is another potent prescription JAK inhibitor, but it carries an elevated risk of heart attack. Beware of Bug Bites Another summer skin hazard is bug bites. Here unquestionably the best approach to save your skin is avoidance. Appropriate clothing is key. (That beekeeper's suit will come in handy here again.) Dr. Feldman recommends spraying DEET on your pants legs, socks and sleeves rather than directly on your skin. If there are grasses or brush where you have walked, run or played, a tick check immediately upon coming inside is critical. Can AI Help Patients with Skin Problems? It doesn't make sense to tell people to stay off the internet. Some searches can be quite helpful and guide patients in asking their dermatologist the right questions. Dr. Feldman is enthusiastic about DermNet, a New Zealand dermatology website. https://dermnetnz.org  Joe and Terry recommend SkinSight. This Week’s Guest Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD, is Professor of Dermatology, Pathology, and Social Sciences & Health Policy, at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.  His research has been published in over 1,000 peer reviewed, Medline-referenced articles. Expertscape.com ranks Feldman among the top experts in the world on psoriasis, acne, dermatology, and treatment adherence.
