Surgery Myths And Facts, Heli Patel
Surgery Myths And Facts, Heli Patel
Gibbon Surgical Review
Throughout social media, television shows, movies, and “public perception”, surgical residents and attendings are often stereotyped into a personality that is most often incorrect. Unless you are a surgeon, it is often hard to understand what exactly the life entails. Add in some Hollywood drama and social media, and what you get is a wildly disproportionate picture of what surgeons’ personalities are like. As a medical student, it is often difficult to separate fact from fiction, so here are some of the most common myths debunked.
Bedside To Bench: Basic Science Research During General Surgery Residency, Signe Caksa
Bedside To Bench: Basic Science Research During General Surgery Residency, Signe Caksa
Gibbon Surgical Review
Clinical, basic science, and quality improvement research is becoming increasingly integrated into general surgery residency programs, providing aspiring surgeons with an avenue to engage with academia and improve patient care early on in their careers. For example, as an essential part of their training, general surgery residents at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH) complete one to two years of research, usually between their PGY3 and PGY4 years. The goal of this protected research time is for residents to gain hands-on surgical research skills and work on translational research projects that correlate with clinical cases, while also becoming more competitive for …

Interview With Dr. Dawn Salvatore, Preeyal Patel
Gibbon Surgical Review
A medical student’s path to surgery is notoriously long and arduous. Traditionally, students who are interested in the field begin to prepare their qualifications from day one, especially given the competitive nature of acceptance into surgical programs. For students who develop an interest in surgery during their later years of medical school, it can be a daunting task to pursue a track in which they already feel behind. Often times, these students are discouraged from applying to surgical residencies, worrying that their non-traditional path may hinder their success. However, Dr. Dawn Salvatore can reassure students that a non-traditional path to …

Primum Non Nocere: Surgeons And The Politics Of Firearm Trauma, Kaushal Desai
Gibbon Surgical Review
The crisis of firearm violence in America continues to worsen and the call to action cannot be ignored. If we are to make a real impact, we must be just as skilled policy makers as proceduralists. We must wield the pen as well as we wield the scalpel. All the clinical knowledge and surgical skills in the world will make no difference if we do not reduce the number of firearm injuries. The skillset we need is policy analysis and lobbying, which can only be developed through political activism and engagement, not more practice questions and Online MedEd.

Longevity In Surgery: A Conversation With Two Temple Surgeons About How They Continually Find Joy In Their Careers, Kelsey Muir
Gibbon Surgical Review
Both Dr. Daly and Dr. Pontari describe the stress and pressure that comes with a long career in patient care, however intertwined with the stress is their overwhelming gratitude and joy for surgery. Maintaining that perspective for medicine and patient care has required two things: community and an outlet. Dr. Daly and Dr. Pontari expressed the need to be able to share their anxieties and struggles with someone to process the stress, the difficulties, and the demands of a surgical career.
John H. Gibbon, Jr., Md
Gibbon Surgical Review
Dr. John Heysham Gibbon, Jr. graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1927, and in a brief series of events, he was named Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1930, he found himself assisting Dr. Edward Churchill in an emergency pulmonary embolectomy. At that time the procedure was one of desperation, as no patient in the U.S. had survived the removal of blood clots in open-heart surgery. As Dr. Gibbon recorded the patient’s waning vital signs prior to the procedure he thought, “If only we could remove the blood from her body by bypassing her lungs, and oxygenate it, then return …

Gibbon Surgical Review
The John H. Gibbon, Jr. Surgical Society (GSS) at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC) at Thomas Jefferson University is a unique student interest group that has been working hard to increase interest in the field of surgery among medical students for the last 37 years. The society has over 400 total active members on a year to year basis, spread across the four-year curriculum.

The Utility Of Surgical Simulation In Student Education, Jared Raikin
The Utility Of Surgical Simulation In Student Education, Jared Raikin
Gibbon Surgical Review
The use of simulation in the field of surgery has become a heavily researched topic over the last few decades, but it is by no means a new concept. The first recorded use of surgical simulation dates back 2,500 years with evidence of nasal models for flap reconstruction made of leaf and clay.1 But simulation as we know it today did not take shape until the 1980s with the invention of the Comprehensive Anesthesia Simulation Environment (CASE) mannequins. The use of nonorganic simulation tools revolutionized the field and continues to play a large role in medical education. These modalities have …

General Surgery 101: Nissen Fundoplication, Kelley Yuan, Tyler Bauer
Gibbon Surgical Review
The first time that medical students enter the OR can be a jarring experience. Successfully maintaining sterility is hard enough, but remembering relevant patient history, answering “pimp” questions, and performing basic suturing skills can make the third year medical student experience difficult. In this article we describe a common surgery performed by both general and thoracic surgeons with a specific focus on “medical student level” understanding. This piece is the product of a collaboration between an MS1 and MS4, both of whom are interested in a career in surgery. We hope you find it helpful!

Building A Legacy Of Hope Against Ovarian Cancer
Jefferson Surgical Solutions
Cancer – let alone a rare form of ovarian cancer – wasn’t on Sandy Parvin’s radar when her 11-year-old daughter Sarah was nauseous and vomiting for a few days in the spring of 2005.
“Honestly, we thought she had the flu,” Sandy said. The virus had been going around so Sandy took her daughter to their family physician.
The doctor sent Sarah to the hospital to get some IV fluids. It quickly turned into a parent’s worst nightmare. Sarah was put on a heart monitor and four physicians were there asking questions. Her calcium levels were far too high.
“They …

Jefferson Researchers Identify Potential Diagnostic, Prognostic Tools For Pancreatic Cancer
Jefferson Researchers Identify Potential Diagnostic, Prognostic Tools For Pancreatic Cancer
Jefferson Surgical Solutions
When it comes to diagnosing and treating cancer, early detection is important. While other cancers can be identified through routine screenings, pancreatic cancer has been notoriously difficult to diagnose early. After pancreatic cancer is diagnosed, the optimal course of treatment is not always clear.
Hwyda Arafat, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University and co-director of the Jefferson Pancreatic, Biliary and Related Cancers Center, and Jordan M. Winter, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, are working to change that.
Together with Mon-Li Chu, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology, Dr. Arafat …
