Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

We were lucky enough in June to interview a true Canadian icon, Dr. Liane Feldman (https://twitter.com/lianefeldman?s=20)! Dr. Feldman is the Chief of the Division of General Surgery at McGill University and the newest president of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons or SAGES. We really wanted to try to understand – what does it mean to be a minimally invasive surgeon? Where does Dr. Feldman see SAGES going in the future? And finally, we discuss the work Dr. Feldman did to help create the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy or FUSE program. The FUSE program is now a core part of North American surgery programs and helps residents to understand the actual mechanics of surgical energy devices – in other words, what exactly is the difference between blue and yellow on the bovie??? For all this and more, stay with us.
