March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️

Today, the Surgical Consortium proudly joined the Bowel Run spearheaded by PSCRS and hosted by one of our colorectal surgeon Dr. Gutierrez, in support of raising awareness about colorectal cancer—the third most common cancer worldwide.

Beyond advocacy, this run reminds us that caring for others also means caring for ourselves. Amid the demanding life of surgery residency, moments like this allow our residents to recharge, stay active, and fight burnout through physical fitness, camaraderie, and shared purpose.

Leading the charge (and stealing the spotlight 🐶) was the department’s beloved canine, Luffy the Corgi, proving that even the smallest runner can inspire the biggest smiles!

Together, we run for awareness.
Together, we run for prevention.
Together, we run for stronger surgeons and healthier communities.

Fortiores Una! 💙

The FUMC-VMC Consortium once again proves its excellence — both on the national and international stage!

Last 27th of September, our very own Dr. Christian Sergio G. Guerra with the guidance of our hepatobillary consultant, Dr. Rene Luis Filarca proudly represented our institution during the Surgical Grand Rounds at the Philippine Heart Center, organized by the Philippine College of Surgeons (PCS) and the Philippine Society of General Surgeons (PSGS).
He presented an outstanding case entitled:
“Descending Colon Gallstone Ileus Treated with Focused Incision Cololithotomy in a Geriatric Filipino Patient.”

This remarkable case was further showcased at the 10th Biennial Congress of the Asian-Pacific Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (A-PHPBA) held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand last October 28–31.
It was accompanied by both case and research presentations by our recent graduates — Dr. Cavaneyro, Dr. Malibiran, and Dr. Flores — highlighting the academic strength and research excellence of our program.

This achievement reaffirms that our training program stands at par with global standards, producing competent and world-class surgeons ready to represent our country with pride.

So, what are you waiting for?
Join us. Grow with us. Represent the nation with us.

✨ We’re proud to share an incredible milestone for our department! ✨

One of our research works titled “Utility of a Novel Ultrasound Scoring System for Preoperative Prediction of Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy” was recently presented on the international stage at the 5th World Congress of the International Laparoscopic Liver Society held in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷.

This study was led by our very own former chief resident Dr. Mirinisa Cavaneyro, along with our recent graduates Dr. Kristine Flores and Dr. Carllinni Malibiran, under the mentorship and guidance of our dedicated training officer Dr. John Mendoza.

Their participation not only showcased the excellence of Filipino surgical training but also served as a reminder that our residency program meets international standards—in both clinical skill and research innovation. 🌍🔬

Team building is a vital component of a successful surgical residency program. In the high-stakes environment of surgical care, patient outcomes heavily depend on seamless coordination, communication, and trust among team members. Residency training is not only about acquiring technical skills but also about developing the interpersonal dynamics that foster a culture of safety, efficiency, and mutual respect among consultants, residents and staffs. 😎🍻🍷
