Congratulations to Dr. Morris on presenting her work at UT Research Day. Currently in her dedicated research years, she is contributing to advancements in pediatric surgery. @HMethodistGME @orinmorris22

Incredible talk by Dr. Hoof, “From Simulation to Reality: Methodist First Robotic Lung Transplant”. A masterclass in planning, teamwork, and innovation—and a powerful example of the cutting-edge experience our residents are part of. @MethodistHosp @HMethodistGME

Congratulations to @SamarSemaanMD @HMSurgery for getting her study "Comparative Long-Term Outcomes of Heller Myotomy and Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy" accepted for publication in @SurgEndosc !

Excellent Grand Rounds by our chief resident, Dr. Zia, on “Shaping the Future of Surgery—inspiring the next generation through surgical education”. Representation. Opportunity. Dedication. That’s how we build the future of surgery. @HMethodistMD @HMethodistGME

Proud of our chief resident, Dr. Brumer, for bringing back to Methodist the medal for off-axis laparoscopic suturing at the Atlas training system competition! @SAGES_Updates @HMethodistGME @HMethodistMD #SAGES

Proud to represent Methodist at #SAGES with our outstanding residents Dr. Au and Dr. Wu presenting their MIS research. Great work showcasing innovation and dedication in minimally invasive surgery! @SAGES_Updates

Grateful to our outstanding speakers for sharing their expertise in minimally invasive surgery—giving our residents invaluable, hands-on insight from leaders in the field. #MedEd #Surgery #MinimallyInvasive #Residency

Thanks to @scopdoc and all the speakers for organizing such outstanding and educational symposium!

Congratulations to our new class of surgery interns! Welcome to the team! @MethodistHosp #Match2026 #GeneralSurgery

Our thoracic surgery division, under @DrMinPKim’s leadership, has set new benchmarks for outcomes and innovation thanks to a data-driven culture, robotic adoption & enhanced recovery pathways. spr.ly/6015B6E8wh

Dr. @scopdoc completed the first minimally invasive surgery using 4K 3D spatial computing with a head-mounted virtual monitor in June 2025. He explains how it improves surgeon vision, ergonomics, and integrates imaging and patient data in real time. Watch: spr.ly/6016B6uZ1G

Tonight's Surgical Skills Round-Up was nothing but a "stitch"! Residents got to show off their skills and compete for a monetary grand prize. The winners of the Round-Up were @HMSurgery! @AmCollSurgeons

What is a two-peat? Resident teams competed in Jeopardy to test their surgical knowledge. Although the competition was tough, the reigning champs, @HMSurgery, took home the win! @AmCollSurgeons

Congratulations to all of our winners! Thank you to everyone who presented and participated at STCAM events over the last three days. Incredible work by everyone! @AmCollSurgeons

I was thankful to be invited to present our ongoing work at the 2026 annual SAGES NBT Innovation Weekend at the Woodlands in Texas. During the “My Favorite Digital Tool to Improve My Performance” session, I presented our work on Spatial Computing in the OR to improve visual acuity and ergonomics in monitor-based operations and procedures. In the poll of the audience following all presentations, we received the highest number of votes for “the technology presented which I would like to have now”! We are using the @Apple Vision Pro and our @KARLSTORZ system to provide surgeons with 4K 3D virtual monitors that always allow 4K 3D viewing and placement of that monitor in the best ergonomic position. Our system allows for a primary laparoscopy and multiple secondary monitors. Intra-operative endoscopy, vital signs, intra-operative cholangiograms, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, and intra-operative EndoFlip measurements have all been utilized on second and third virtual monitors. There are many additional advantages to this system and we believe that this is the future of digital visualization for monitor-based operations and procedures.

The reigning national champs are seeking to reclaim their title! Catch @RBrumer and @ethyngl at Surgery Jeopardy finals tomorrow night 🤓@STXACS @AmCollSurgeons

Happy to see that two of my residents, @JuliaSchroerMed and @priyalarun got to meet with a fantastic role model, Sallie Matthews, at the annual Women In Surgery Career Symposium in Tampa. Sallie is just one of many leaders in their field who shared the stories of their journeys to success. I hope that Priya Arunachalam and Julia Schroer absorbed that shared knowledge and made connections that will serve them and last throughout their careers. Creating tomorrow’s leaders today. @HMSurgery @HMethodistMD

when in Tampa… you find a @HMSurgery alum who is now breast surgery faculty at Moffit! and eat some good food, of course

Post-ABSITE brunch = best brunch 🍽️

Here at Houston Methodist Hospital we are collaborating with Karl Storz, Apple, and Fujifilm to provide our physicians with the highest resolution visualization during their monitor-based operations and procedures by viewing them with the Apple Vision Pro(AVP). This video depicts the AVP view of the completion endoscopy following repair of a large, Type IV paraesophageal hiatal hernia. From left to right, 3 virtual monitors show: 3D 4K Karl Storz laparoscopic image 1080p Fuji flexible endoscopic image** (Soon to be 4K!)

This is a software issue, soon to be resolved! @HMethodistMD @HMethodistCV @Apple @KARLSTORZ_USA @FujifilmUS @TommyKornMD @HMSurgery
