Resection Details, Donor Segment Volume, and Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer and Liver Transplant —Reply
In Reply We thank Chen and Wei for their comments on our study. The report included all patients who underwent transplant in various prospective trails at our institution. Three of 61 patients were included in the Resection and Partial Liver Segment 2/3 Transplantation With Delayed Total Hepatectomy (RAPID) study with transplant of segment 2 + 3 grafts and 2-stage hepatectomy. The technical characteristics of the RAPID protocol have been published. Chen and Wei question whether 3 weeks between the first-stage transplant and second-stage liver remnant hepatectomy was sufficient time for donor graft survival without liv...

Resection Details, Donor Segment Volume, and Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer and Liver Transplant
Liver resection remains the primary treatment for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. However, more than 80% of these patients are not eligible for liver resection. For patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases, Dueland et al performed a 2-step liver transplant using the Resection and Partial Liver Segment 2/3 Transplantation With Delayed Total Hepatectomy (RAPID) procedure, which was first described by Line et al in 2015 and demonstrated excellent clinical results. We have some questions for the authors. (Source: JAMA Surgery)

Who Looks Like a Surgeon? —Evaluating Reflections From a Digital Mirror
As the number of publicly available tools using artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly expanded, innumerable attempts to find beneficial applications for such tools in medicine follow close behind. Perhaps one of the most promising uses for such natural language processing systems was as a tool to address systemic bias in academic medicine by eliminating human subjectivity in decision-making. Some hoped that a computer-derived platform would bring objectivity with respect to such tasks such as writing letters of recommendation, selection of job candidates, and evaluation of performance.

“Choose Your Own Threat”—A Modern Paradigm for Academic Surgery
This Viewpoint discusses a potential shift from academic surgery ’s triple-threat paradigm (provide high-quality clinical care, perform primary research, and train residents and students) to defining success in ways that allow individual surgeons to focus on their own path based on intrinsic motivation and curiosity.

Mobilization, Just 1 Component of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery
To the Editor I read with enthusiasm the study by Turan et al examining the association between the amount of postoperative mobilization and incidence of cardiovascular and pulmonary adverse events as a composite outcome and finding a linear association between decreased mobilization and the composite outcome. I want to describe an unrecognized confounder not addressed in the study limitations that may in part account for the results. The study methods consider several important patient- and procedure-related confounders, finding that their distribution was essentially equal between those who experienced and those who did ...
