People in high life are hardened to the wants and distresses of mankind as surgeons are to their bodily pains.

The study further confirms aspirin's benefits for patients with known cardiovascular disease. It also shows there is no increased risk of bleeding, which eliminates the main reason why physicians and surgeons would ask patients to discontinue aspirin therapy.

Scott Wright

Most surgeons will see and do more here in four months than they will in the rest of their career. A lot of advances in medicine can come out of wars.

Col. Elisha Powell

The surgeons here are using minimally invasive techniques.

Dean Thomas

We think it's an ideal opportunity for not only our current medical staff but for other surgeons who can bring their patients into our facility. Our hope in the long term is to facilitate the growth.

Dr. Michael Smith

The death rate in this country from gastric bypass surgery is probably all less than 1 percent. But if you stratify that by ages of patients, risk class of patients and then also the surgeon's (years of) experience, then there are groups that are at a higher risk.

Dr. Kenric Murayama

Even with six surgeons working there it was struggling to get that number because there is not enough theatre time to do the surgery.

David Wood

Iraq is 50 yards outside this tent. We've never put highly skilled, sub-specialized surgeons this close to the battlefield.

Col. Elisha Powell

I do not think that there are strong opposition to the technology in the medical field. To the contrary, more and more surgeons are looking for enhanced tools to help them in their challenges.

Jannick Rolland

This is the first time we worked together as surgeons.

Vance Moss

We're not asking surgeons to change their surgical technique. They don't have to change how they suture, the type of suture needle they use or the suture material that they use.

Steve Blinn

I think the patients, when they're educated to what an ambulatory care center is -- what it does, the same surgeons, the same nurses, the same quality of care -- then those fears are quickly allayed.

Bill Barber

By and large, (bad results) are not happening with dermatologists and plastic surgeons. But we now have podiatrists doing this.

David Goldberg

Some patients are not comfortable walking into a plastic surgeon's office and running the risk that someone they know sees them going in.

Crystal Morrell

Our family of tiny-wheeled robots has the potential to revolutionize the minimally invasive surgery field. It will replace standard surgery and at some point the surgeon's hands won't need to be in the body at all.

Dmitry Oleynikov

It should be noted that these patients were all quite motivated to try this product. Facial plastic surgeons have a responsibility to determine the efficacy of such products to provide unbiased, evidence-based advice to our patients.

Sam Most

Our goal is to provide long-term solutions that work for both the surgeons in the northern panhandle and all physicians in the state.

Bob Wise

In my opinion only surgeons should be doing these cases because sometimes you need more than to use a laser.

Dr. Ron Bush

The drop in mortality is a tribute to Pennsylvania's top-notch surgeons and hospitals, as well as further evidence that public reporting works. The next frontier should be to reduce readmissions associated with infections, particularly hospital-acquired infections.

Marc P. Volavka

For years, surgeons have been struggling to find the best way to avoid the greatest harm in patients with incidentally identified hernias. Avoiding harm in this case is easy — it can best be accomplished by counseling and educating patients and only repairing hernias that cause symptoms.

David R. Flum

I've been told by doctors and surgeons that I have the energy of ten men who have normal jobs.

Gary Busey

With interventional radiology, doctors will use real-time X-rays, called fluoroscopy, to see what the probe is doing inside the patient. Surgeons will be able to enter an artery near the groin area and navigate through arteries and into the heart, brain, to other major organs, snaking all through the venous system to perform surgeries in those areas of the body.

William Peine

Laparoscopy requires a different skill set than open surgery. Surgeons typically view patients from the outside in. When a laparoscopic camera is inserted, they see patients from the inside out. Hand/eye coordination is difficult to master (so) practice on a simulator would allow surgeons to perfect their technique with no risk to patients.

M. Cenk Cavusoglu

This program with one surgeon is a relatively small program that I think is very sensitive to clusters of abnormal outcomes, and very serious about trying to address that. In larger programs we wonder whether they may not be so sensitive because they have many surgeons doing many more procedures.
