"Surgical Pioneering and Surgical Innovation Podcast Intro by Dr Reza Lankarani, General Surgeon and Founder"

Overview:• The Surgical Pioneering Podcast, hosted by Dr. Reza Lankarani, explores advancements and debates in general surgery, featuring discussions on topics like GLP1 agonists versus bariatric surgery and bridging anticoagulation.• The podcast is available on multiple platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon Music, and YouTube, offering accessibility to a wide audience interested in surgical innovation.• The podcast's mission statement emphasizes its role as a global hub for 'Surgical Frontiers: Pioneering Tech Transforming Surgical Care,' highlighting its focus on cutting-edge surgical techniques and technologies.• Listeners can find episodes discussing various surgical topics, including the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index in relation to breast cancer, the Vagilangelo® Procedure Scientific Weaknesses and Limitations, and perioperative hydrocortisone use."Surgical Pioneering Surgical Frontiers: Pioneering Tech Transforming Surgical Care” Mission Statement: Welcome to Surgical Frontiers, a global nexus for surgeons, researchers, engineers, and healthcare innovators dedicated to advancing surgical care through groundbreaking technology. This group is not just a platform—it’s a movement. Here, we explore, debate, and champion the innovations redefining the art and science of surgery. From AI-driven diagnostics to robotic-assisted procedures, augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation, and bioengineered implants, we are the vanguard of a new era in medicine. If you’re driven by curiosity, excellence, and the relentless pursuit of better patient outcomes, you belong here. --- Our Core Values: 1. Innovation First Surgery is no longer confined to scalpels and sutures—it’s a fusion of biology, engineering, and data science. We prioritize discussions on emerging technologies (e.g., nanorobotics, AI-powered predictive analytics, 3D bioprinting) and their real-world applications. Share prototypes, clinical trial results, or even bold hypotheses—if it pushes boundaries, we want to hear it. 2. Collaboration Over Competition Breakthroughs happen when diverse minds unite. Surgeons, engineers, ethicists, and entrepreneurs are all equal stakeholders here. Whether you’re a seasoned robotic surgeon or a startup founder developing smart OR tools, your perspective matters. Let’s dismantle silos and co-create solutions. 3. Evidence-Based Excellence Pioneering doesn’t mean reckless. We demand rigor. Posts about new tools or techniques should be grounded in peer-reviewed research, clinical data, or transparent case studies. Anecdotes are welcome, but they must spark deeper inquiry, not replace it. 4. Patient-Centric Ethics Technology is a means, not an end. Every innovation must answer: How does this improve patient safety, accessibility, or outcomes? We encourage tough conversations about cost, equity, and unintended consequences. Glorifying ”tech for tech’s sake” has no place here. 5. Global Perspective Surgical challenges vary wildly between a high-resource urban hospital and a rural clinic. Share insights from low-income regions, disaster zones, or underserved communities. Innovation thrives when we solve for the margins, not just the mainstream. --- What You’ll Find Here : - Breakthrough Technologies: Deep dives into robotics, AI/ML applications, AR/VR surgical training, IoT-enabled devices, and beyond. - Expert Insights: Q&As with thought leaders, interviews with FDA regulators, and AMAs (Ask Me Anything) with pioneers. - Case Studies: How a hospital in Kenya adopted portable robotic tools, or how a Boston team used AI to reduce post-op infections by 40%. - Ethical Debates: Should AI diagnose surgical complications? Who owns data from smart implants? - Resource Sharing: Grants, conferences (e.g., SAGES, AACR), and regulatory updates. --- Why Join? - Learn: Weekly summaries of JAMA Surgery or Annals of Surgery highlights. - Influence: Shape the future by beta-testing tools, joining global consortia, or advising startups. - Grow: Mentorship threads for residents, grants for underrepresented innovators, and hackathons. --- The Future We’re Building: Imagine a world where: - A surgeon in Mumbai receives real-time AR guidance from a specialist in Toronto. - Bioprinted organs eliminate transplant waitlists. - AI predicts surgical complications before the first incision. ”This isn’t science fiction—it’s the horizon we’re sprinting toward.” Let’s pioneer responsibly. Let’s operate fearlessly. Post, comment, and collaborate. The next surgical revolution starts here. — Reza Lankarani M.D Founder & Curator, Surgical Frontiers ”Surgical Pioneering Surgical Frontiers and SurgicalInnovation: PioneeringTech Transforming Surgical Care”

"Surgical Risk Calculator: POTTER - A Paradigm Shift in Emergency General Surgery Risk Assessment"

By Dr. Reza Lankarani

----------------------------

The POTTER (Predictive Optimal Trees in Emergency Surgery Risk) calculator represents a groundbreaking advancement in AI-driven surgical risk prediction, specifically designed for emergency general surgery (EGS) and laparotomy patients. Developed through collaboration between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Interpretable AI, POTTER leverages machine learning to provide transparent, accurate, and actionable risk assessments. This article synthesizes findings from multiple validation studies, including a pivotal 2024 prospective bi-institutional trial, to outline its clinical utility and transformative potential . The Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) podcast episode and associated studies evaluate the POTTER (Predictive Optimal Trees in Emergency Surgery Risk) calculator, an AI-driven tool designed to predict 30-day mortality and complications in emergency laparotomy patients. This review synthesizes findings from prospective validations and discusses the tool’s clinical implications, strengths, and limitations.

The POTTER calculator represents a significant advancement in emergency surgical care, offering a validated, interpretable AI tool for risk stratification. While its prospective validation and accessibility are commendable, broader implementation requires addressing generalizability and workflow integration. This tool exemplifies the potential of AI to enhance surgical decision-making, provided ongoing refinements align with real-world clinical needs. POTTER redefines preoperative risk assessment in emergency surgery by merging AI precision with clinical interpretability. Its validation across diverse cohorts underscores its potential to improve patient outcomes, streamline counseling, and optimize healthcare resources. As AI adoption grows, tools like POTTER exemplify how technology can augment—not replace—clinical judgment.
