Demystifying Topical Hemostatic Agents: A Mental Model for Surgeons
The scrub tech holds up two boxes, “SURGICEL or EVARREST?”, and you realize nobody ever taught you the difference. Patrick Georgoff, MD, John McClellan, MD, Kevin Kniery, MD, and Nick Teman, MD, break down topical hemostatic agents, one of the most used and least taught tools in the OR. You’ll get a simple two-question model for picking the right product: can your patient make their own clot, and can a patch reach the bleeding? Through trauma, vascular, and cardiac cases, the team covers when these agents earn their keep and when two minutes of pressure (no peeking!) will do the job. Bottom line: hemostatic agents speed up hemostasis, but they’re a targeted adjunct to good surgical technique, not a substitute for it!Hosts: Patrick Georgoff, MD, Duke Nick Teman, MD, University of Colorado John McCllelan, MD, UNC Kevin Kniery, MD, Madigan Army Medical Center Topical Hemostatic Agent PDF link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qv9V_0l20CTXKQ_83newveIahmxzlpcb/view?usp=sharingPlease visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.

Building a Career in Global Surgery - Purpose, Mentorship, and Impact
In this episode of the Behind the Knife Global Surgery Series, we explore what it actually takes to build a meaningful career in global surgery. Global surgery is not a single specialty or job title—it is a broad field that intersects with clinical care, education, research, policy, advocacy, implementation science, and health-system strengthening. So how do trainees and early-career surgeons find their place in it?Host Mike M. Mallah is joined by Dr. Barnabas Alayande and Dr. Lacey LaGrone for a candid discussion about the personal and professional paths that brought them into global surgery. Dr. Alayande shares how experiences with limited access to healthcare in Nigeria shaped his decision to pursue medicine and ultimately global surgery, while Dr. LaGrone discusses her focus on translating evidence into clinical practice and building scalable approaches to knowledge dissemination.Together, they discuss why purpose matters, why global surgery should be viewed as a field rather than a job title, and why aspiring global surgeons should first become excellent at something that allows them to add real value. The conversation also examines mentorship, the difference between visibility and impact, the importance of integrity in partnerships, and the personal sacrifices that can accompany a career devoted to this work.For medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty interested in global surgery, this episode offers practical advice: develop meaningful expertise, seek mentors who are genuinely invested in your growth, focus less on recognition and more on impact, and keep doing the next right thing—excellently.

Clinical Challenges in Bariatric Surgery: Marginal Ulcers
Open the capsule, quit the cigarettes, and know when to cut: the essentials of managing marginal ulcers after bypass.Marginal ulcers are among the most common complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, with a pooled prevalence around 4.6%, and they span everything from mild postprandial pain to perforation with peritonitis. In this episode, our expert panel works through three clinical scenarios (an uncomplicated early ulcer, a refractory ulcer with recurrent stricture, and a perforated ulcer with peritonitis) to build a practical framework for prevention, workup, medical therapy, and surgical escalation.Hosts Matthew Martin, trauma and bariatric surgeon at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) Adrian Dan, bariatric and MIS surgeon, program director for the advanced MIS bariatric and foregut fellowship at Summa Health System (Akron, Ohio) Crystal Johnson Mann, bariatric and foregut surgeon at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida) Katherine Cironi, general surgery resident at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) Learning objectives1. Identify the established and debated risk factors for marginal ulcers. Recognize smoking, diabetes, NSAIDs, and larger pouch size as key contributors. Appreciate that the role of H. pylori remains unsettled because of heavy heterogeneity across meta-analyses.2. Perform a complete etiologic workup for a new marginal ulcer. Assess NSAID and immunosuppressant use, smoking (including cotinine test), H. pylori status, and visible suture or staple material at the anastomosis, and know that endoscopy, not CT, is the diagnostic tool of choice unless perforation is suspected.3. Optimize first-line medical management. Use PPI therapy with instructions to open the capsules for faster healing, understand the limited evidence for adding sucralfate, confirm healing with repeat endoscopy, and individualize treatment duration, including when lifelong prophylaxis is reasonable.4. Define and evaluate the refractory ulcer. Apply the 6- to 12-month definition of refractory disease, rule out gastrogastric fistula, hypersecretory states (serum gastrin), and PPI rapid metabolism (CYP2C19), and recognize ulcer-related gastrojejunal stricture and the perforation risk of serial dilation.5. Weigh escalation options for refractory disease. Compare endoscopic suturing and stenting, truncal vagotomy, and GJ revision, including their mixed durability data, and address nutritional optimization and remnant access before reoperation.6. Manage a perforated marginal ulcer. Prioritize resuscitation, antibiotics, and IV PPI; take unstable patients straight to the OR, use primary repair with omental patch as the default approach, and reserve revision or damage control for select patients based on physiology, tissue quality, and expertise.7. Counsel patients on long-term recurrence risk. Communicate substantial recurrence rates after both repair and revision and emphasize that quitting smoking early (more than a year before surgery) meaningfully lowers reoperation risk.Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.

Journal Review in Emergency General Surgery: STOP-IT - What a Decade of Data Has Taught Us
It’s postoperative day four after surgery for a perforated colon. The source appears controlled, but the patient is still intubated, the white count is eighteen, and nobody feels comfortable stopping piperacillin–tazobactam. Is four days really enough? Does the ICU buy another four—or is it time to ask what we’re missing?Join Drs. Rushabh Dev, Skye Shultz, Kelly Ray, Desra Fletcher, and Brycen Ratcliffe from the Emergency General Surgery team in Tiger Country at Mizzou as they revisit STOP-IT and examine what more than a decade of evidence has added to the management of complicated intra-abdominal infection.In this EGS Journal Review, the team appraises the landmark trial, explores its subgroup analyses and limitations, and puts contemporary SIS, IDSA, AAST, and Surviving Sepsis guidance into context. The discussion moves from source control and antibiotic duration to resistant organisms, cultures, de-escalation, ICU dosing, and the role of procalcitonin.For most complicated intra-abdominal infections, approximately four days after adequate source control remains the default. Persistent illness should prompt a search for failed source control, ineffective therapy, or another diagnosis before simply extending the stop date.Hosts Dr. Rushabh Dev, MD, FACS – Moderator and Acute Care Surgeon, University of Missouri Dr. Skye Shultz – Surgical Critical Care Fellow, University of Missouri Dr. Kelly Ray – General Surgery Resident; STOP-IT appraisal and antimicrobial selection Dr. Desra Fletcher – General Surgery Resident, University of Missouri; post-STOP-IT evidence and implementation Dr. Brycen Ratcliffe – General Surgery Resident; society guidance and microbiology Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this episode, listeners should be able to:· Describe the design, principal results, strengths, and limitations of STOP-IT, including why adequate source control is essential to applying its findings.· Apply short-course therapy after adequate operative or percutaneous source control and explain why sepsis alone, obesity, or diabetes does not automatically require a longer course.· Distinguish the four-day default from the weaker SIS recommendation supporting up to eight days in selected critically ill patients after adequate source control.· Recognize persistent or worsening illness that warrants reassessment of source control, drain function, microbiology, drug exposure, or alternative diagnoses.· Differentiate the treatment scope of SIS guidance from the diagnostic and microbiology focus of IDSA 2024, the AAST surgical ICU consensus, and broader sepsis and antimicrobial-resistance guidance.· Select and de-escalate antimicrobials using infection setting, resistance risk, cultures, local susceptibility data, and patient-specific dosing considerations.· Explain the limited adjunctive role of procalcitonin in antibiotic discontinuation when duration remains uncertain, including the implications of ADAPT-Sepsis.References 1.
