Agree. When things get rocky it gets very quiet. Pin drop quiet. When emergency and out of control it can get noisy but the sound level falls with the heart rate and inotrope requirements. Well functioning teams have a level of background noise far below ambient urban or jungle
Interesting. I always thought noise in theatre was a poor metric. I have known surgeons who like a quiet theatre, and others who like chatter and music.

Thank you all for feedback and critique of this video. We aim to post videos that stimulate lively discussion. BJS is not in a position to endorse equipment, specific procedures, or different approaches. Some use 3 ports routinely others use 4 for better critical view. Opinions?

📽️ Advancing surgical techniques: three-port robotic cholecystectomy
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn…

Robotic cholecystectomy has gained popularity over the past few years since the introduction of robotic surgery in general surgery units worldwide
However, most surgeons have used a four-port approach
Here, the authors describe the procedure using a three-port approach

Great video by Fanourios Georgiades and Kanapathi Rajaratnam

It should be 2D+2.5cm where D is diameter of defect. Lyons M et al; Biomechanical abdominal wall model applied to hernia repair. Br J Surg. 2015; 102(2): e133-9.
“The old dogma of 5 cm of overlap is not valid anymore.”

“The diameter of the mesh should be 4x the diameter of the hernia”

In a think of many more who deserve to be listed - not me. I filter and sift gold from the muddy creeks of academia. Educators like you are the true nuggets Sean
