    Abstract Introduction: Previous reports show that over 85% of general surgery residents choose to pursue fellowship training after completing residency. There continues to be an increase interest among general surgery residents in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship. Moreover, demographic disparities, particularly gender disparities continue to persist among surgical sub-specialties. In this study, we evaluated the gender disparities and practice patterns among graduating MIS fellows.
    Methods and procedures: MIS fellows were surveyed, and 169 results were received from fellows who completed training in the years: 2010, 2015-2019. Surveys collected were used to create a descriptive analysis of the demographics, practice patterns and job finding measures. Loglinear regression model was performed to assess gender trend variation over training years.
    Results: Fellows self-reported gender showed 65% male, 30% female, and 5% prefer not to say. The cohort of participants was described as 45.3% white, 5.3% African American, and 6.5% Hispanic or Latino. Further, results showed 87.1% of fellows work in MIS surgery with 91.8% reporting their fellowship experience facilitated their ability to find a job. Most alumni pursue a comprehensive MIS practice. Moreover, the proportion of female fellows increased from 29 to 41%, but this increase over time was not significant using loglinear regressions [p-value = 0.0810, Relative risk = 1.1994 (95% CI 0.9778, 1.4711)].
    Conclusion: Overall, there is good evidence to support that fellowship training facilitates future career advancements. Further, MIS fellows have differential practice patterns. Finally, females remain underrepresented among the MIS fellows which should call for leadership action to bridge these gaps.

    Abstract Introduction: Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder characterized by disordered esophageal peristalsis with failed relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter resulting in a functional obstruction.Treatment can include medical, endoscopic, or surgical interventions. Although none of these are curative, they each offer methods to create esophageal outflow.
    Materials and methods: This article discusses our preferred surgical technique used for laparoscopic Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication. This technique has been developed over the author's career.
    Conclusion: The technique discussed provides a safe and effective strategy to manage achalasia.

    Abstract Background: Biliary disease is common occurrence and can make up a large portion of the practice of a general surgeon. Choledocholithasis is a common entity amongst those with biliary disease. Although modern trends favor endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and other imaging modalities for the diagnosis and management of choledocholithiasis, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is likely underutilized.
    Methods: A literature summary utilizing a PUBMED search was performed to provide an up-to-date account regarding the latest data on LCBDE. A video identifying and explaining the critical components of a LBCDE procedure is provided.
    Results: LCBDE is an underutilized procedure which offers equivalent clinical outcomes compared with ERCP along with a shorter length of stay and reduced costs. LCBDE is also noted to be an effective option for common bile duct stones in the setting of altered anatomy, such as a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
    Conclusion: Although modern trends favor ERCP and other imaging modalities for the diagnosis and management of choledocholithiasis, LCBDE is likely underutilized by surgeons. LCBDE can provide many benefits to patients including avoidance of additional procedures, shorter length of stay, higher success rates, and less costs. Out video should act is a guide for those surgeons interested in implementation LCBDE in their practice.

    Abstract Purpose: Postoperative constipation after bariatric surgery is a common complaint, decreasing patient quality of life. No literature exists examining the efficacy of a preoperative bowel regimen in reducing postoperative constipation in this cohort. This study aims explore the efficacy of a well-established bowel regimen, polyethylene glycol (PEG), in reducing constipation frequency and severity after bariatric surgery.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study of adult patients undergoing primary and revisional bariatric procedures. The use of PEG bowel prep for bariatric patients was introduced as an institutional quality improvement measure. Patients during the first 3 months after PEG implementation were surveyed for postoperative constipation. For the year after implementation, patients were followed for 30-day emergency room visits or hospitalization secondary to constipation. This cohort was compared to historical controls from the previous year. Student t-tests were used for statistical analysis.
    Results: During the 3-month exploratory phase, 28/49 (57.14%) patients fully completed the bowel regimen. In total, 0/56 (0%) patients reported preoperative constipation, and 5/28 (17.9%) patients reported constipation at the 3-week follow-up. In the 1 year post-implementation cohort, 2/234 (0.85%) patients had constipation-related occurrences at 30-day follow-up, compared to 8/219 patients (3.65%) in the historical cohort (p = 0.04).
    Conclusions: The implementation of a PEG-based bowel regimen did not eliminate self-reported constipation. However, there were significant differences in rates of constipation-related ED visits and hospital readmissions, suggesting that the bowel regimen decreases rates of severe constipation. Finally, patient compliance was limited. Future work should aim towards increasing compliance.
