🎙️ The best surgical outcomes don't happen by accident — they happen because of teams.
In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Prof. Tan Arulampalam is joined by Prof. Marlies Schijven and Prof. Catalin Copaescu for a refreshingly human conversation about what truly drives performance in the operating room.

From psychological safety and communication to hierarchy, OR culture, and the growing role of technology — they explore what separates good surgical teams from great ones. Expect personal stories, practical insights, and a reminder that the future of surgery will be shaped as much by people as by innovation.

A must-listen for anyone who works in — or leads — a surgical team. 🎧

🎙️ What do the latest guidelines really say about groin hernia repair?
Recorded live at the EAES Congress in Athens, this episode of Inside Surgery gets into the evidence. Host Dr. Bright Huo is joined by Dr. Stavros Antoniou, Prof. Salvador Morales-Conde, and Prof. Thomas Carus to unpack the international guidelines on primary groin hernia repair — and what they mean for surgeons and patients in everyday practice.

The panel dives into the case for laparoscopic repair, the long-standing TAPP vs. TEP debate, and the moments where expertise and real-world context matter just as much as the data.

Whether you're a seasoned hernia surgeon or still finding your preferred approach, this one's worth your time. 🎧

🎙️ Surgeons save lives — but who looks after theirs?
Recorded live at the EAES Congress in Athens, this episode of Inside Surgery shines a light on a topic too often overlooked: musculoskeletal pain and ergonomics in the operating room.

Host Dr. Draga Maria Mandi is joined by Dr. Ludovica Baldari, Prof. Rosa Jiménez Rodríguez, and Prof. Selman Uranues to explore how posture, instrument design, long operating lists, and working conditions impact surgeons' wellbeing, performance — and ultimately, patient care.

The panel discusses practical solutions: better training, smarter OR setup, and equipment designed for a more diverse surgical workforce. Including the role robotic surgery may play in reducing physical strain.

A conversation every surgeon — and surgical team — should hear. 🎧
