Fascinating talk by @caycedomarula on magnetic compression anastomosis at #FCACS26 today. ✅ The barrier to intracorporeal anastomosis has never been evidence — it’s been technical complexity and access. ✅ If this technology performs as today’s cases suggest, surgeons who could never offer intracorporeal anastomosis will be able to do so routinely. A pivotal moment for colorectal surgery. @orlandohealth @FloridaACS #ColorectalSurgery
Rethinking Surgery - Dr @caycedomarula discusses how we go from Lembert anastomosis to magnetic anastomosis. #FCACS26 @orlandohealth

Had a great time presenting our work at @FloridaACS this weekend. 🩸We looked at revascularization strategies for primary SMA dissection and how practice has evolved over time. Grateful for the opportunity and fun to see Mayo residents take the win at Residency Jeopardy. 🎉 @ErbenYoung @MayoJaxGenSurg @AmCollSurgeons @diegosancal @PolaniaPolania9 @CamilaEsquetini #FCACS

Today @AmCollSurgeons FL chapter what if intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis became seamless? Magnetic 🧲 compression is quietly rewriting colorectal sx starting on the right side. We are in the middle of it @OrlandoHealth The most disruptive shift since robotics is underway

Our debates are showing that many surgical specialties (like acute care and bariatrics) are moving toward multidisciplinary care, similar to oncologic care! The Knife is still king/queen but we are better together !!
