Episode Summary: In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Mark Katlic, MD, the chair emeritus of surgery for LifeBridge Health System in Baltimore, Maryland. Katlic opens up about his illustrious career, the creation of the Aging Surgeon Program, and the essential topic of maintaining surgical competence as surgeons age. The Aging Surgeon Program: The program addresses the critical issue of age-related competency in the surgical field. It offers a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation that assesses the physical and cognitive functions of surgeons over the age of 70. Aimed to ensure the ongoing safety and proficiency of aging surgeons, it identifies treatable or reversible conditions that, if addressed, could enhance their functional capacity. By fostering a culture of self-regulation within multidisciplinary surgical teams, the program helps maintain public trust in the healthcare system. Key Points: - The necessity of avoiding a mandatory retirement age, as individual capabilities can vary widely. - The role of strict confidentiality protocols in identifying and addressing issues that might affect a surgeon's performance. - Potential solutions that modify work conditions, allowing experienced surgeons to continue contributing without compromising safety or forcing retirement. About Mark Katlic, MD: Katlic pursued education at Washington and Jefferson College, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Massachusetts General Hospital. His extensive career spans private practice, general and thoracic surgery, and academic positions at Geisinger Health System and LifeBridge Health System.

We are going to discuss the topic of scars and cover several topics related to scars on this edition of the DiepCJourney podcast. It is understood, anyone who has surgery will have scars of some kind. There is a mechanism to how scars heal. In plastic surgery, if you think of the Greek word, plastikós (πλᾰστῐκός it means to shape or mold. Scars are a significant consideration in plastic surgery then. I invited an expert in the field to share his expertise on the topic. My guest is Dr. Andrew Gassman joined PRMA in San Antonio, Texas in 2021. Dr. Gassman completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and a general surgery residency, as Chief of Surgical Resident Education, at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood Illinois. Following his residency, Dr. Gassman completed his fellowship in breast and reconstructive microsurgery, with a specialty in facial reanimation at UTSW Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Gassman and his team practice the co-surgeon model in breast reconstruction, meaning each patient undergoing autologous breast reconstruction will have two board-certified microsurgeons in the OR at the time of their reconstruction. They are part of the IFAR (Institute for Advanced Reconstruction) network collaborating with other microsurgeons in the IFAR network to improve patient safety, care, and outcomes. Dr. Gassman discusses the importance of scars and the considerations for plastic surgeons regarding scars for their patients. He tells us, “These are marks that a patient is going to carry with them for their lives.” He tells us about techniques used at his practice and considerations like: ·       Scar placement ·       Scar healing ·       Different types of scars and skin types ·       Scar management after surgery ·       Scar revisions at phase 2 ·       Emotional impact of scars We reference a DiepCJourney podcast in our discussion you can listen to here: Ep. 60: Credibility in the Noise _ Social Media, Breast Reconstruction, and Your Experience.

Surgical fires are devastating yet entirely preventable events that continue to occur in operating rooms around the world. This eye-opening episode features biomedical engineer Mark Bruley and anesthesiologist Dr. Jeffrey Feldman, who share decades of expertise investigating and preventing these catastrophic incidents.The conversation reveals why the seemingly simple recommendation to limit open oxygen delivery to 30% is so critical for patient safety. Through forensic investigations and laboratory testing, we learn how oxygen-enriched environments transform common surgical materials into dangerously flammable substances. The experts describe the "two-fold risk" created when oxygen concentrations exceed safe limits: materials ignite more easily and flames spread exponentially faster, putting patients at serious risk of harm.The experts outline clear, evidence-based approaches to prevent surgical fires, including the use of oxygen blenders for precise control and securing the airway when higher oxygen concentrations are clinically necessary. They share encouraging data showing significant reductions in surgical fire incidents over the past decade, while emphasizing that complete elimination is both possible and necessary.Whether you're an anesthesia professional, surgeon, or perioperative nurse, this episode provides essential knowledge to protect your patients from this preventable complication. Visit the APSF website for comprehensive resources, including videos and algorithms, to implement surgical fire prevention protocols at your institution. By understanding and applying these recommendations, we can work together to ensure no patient is ever harmed by a surgical fire again.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/251-surgical-fires-the-30-oxygen-rule/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Staying Calm When Things Go Sideways: When a complication unfolds in real time, there's no time to panic. Dr. Flanary shares how he handled a challenging situation, and what surgeons learn to do when instincts and training have to carry the moment. Confidence Doesn't Mean Perfection: Through a powerful metaphor, Dr. Flanary reflects on how surgical confidence evolves—not as certainty that nothing will go wrong, but as the ability to keep moving when it does. Conversations After Complications Matter: How do you talk to a patient—and their family—when the procedure didn't go exactly as planned? Dr. Flanary talks about how he approaches these moments with honesty and trust. The Policies Behind the Pressure: In a classic healthcare rant, Dr. Flanary traces how systems like Medicare Advantage add stress behind the scenes—and why real reform, especially around PBMs, can't come soon enough. — We have an active survey going.
