Risk factors and mitigating measures associated with bile duct injury during cholecystectomy: meta-analysis
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zraf…
This meta-analysis examined risk factors and preventive measures for bile duct injury (BDI) following cholecystectomy. The results, based on 31 studies involving over 6.5 million surgeries, identified male sex and acute cholecystitis as significant risk factors. The study suggests that preoperative risk stratification could help improve decision-making and potentially reduce the risk of BDI.

🤖 AI in medicine will be more transformative than 💻the internet, perhaps even Edison’s 💡
… but needs the human touch
What an inspiration morning it’s been

This would not be possible without the help of @ewenharrison @Katie_Shaw24 @NIHR_GSU and the wellcome leap SAVE program, which has made it possible to equip the simulation center of the @fssuac and aims to improve the training of surgeons through simulation

Lots of talk about potential benefits of AI in T&O at #BOACC24.
There is however a massive gap between early promise and subsequent clinical implementation.
Our new CPI-AI framework aims to solve this issue and support safe/trustworthy AI development

I am absolutely over the blooming moon!
12 years of juggling research, hospital shifts & 2 feral children, I've been given a Wellcome Early Career Award.
Thank you SO much to all of you who have loved and supported me on the way and believed I could do it, even when I didn’t.
