In this video to STS members, President Jenna C. Romano, MD, MS, talks about the importance of maintaining purpose, and focusing on ways to bolster wellness and maintain balance so they can be the best version of themselves inside and outside the O.R.

In this panel discussion, STS members exchange viewpoints on a new study that found patients with postoperative PE had increased 30-day mortality, reintubation, and readmission rates, which was presented at the 2024 STS Annual Meeting.

In this video, Dr. Leah Backhus, thoracic surgeon and professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford Medicine, discusses the surgeon’s role in managing patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Abdominal Complications (AC) after cardiac surgery are devastating with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition, diagnosis and intervention are prudent to potentially rescue cardiac surgery patients. This video describes the most common AC after cardiac surgery, the presentation, associated mortality rates, and recommended management.
