Highlights of the Fellowship:
|
In Sept 2013, the Mount Sinai Medical Center acquired 5 NYC hospitals to become the Mount Sinai Health System, the largest healthcare organization in New York City (37,000 employees). To capitalize on the immense educational opportunity, the Mount Sinai endocrine surgery fellow will rotate equally between 2 MSHS hospitals in Manhattan: Mount Sinai Hospital (Upper East Side) and Mount Sinai Beth Israel (East Village). Five fellowship-trained endocrine surgery attendings split time between the 2 sites but continually collaborate through health system-wide endocrine tumor boards, research and quality initiatives. In addition, the fellow works closely with the minimally invasive surgery faculty. The fellow will be exposed to the following:
a. Minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid procedures (local anesthesia, video-endoscopic, robotics, transora & BABA, nerve monitoring) as well as conventional approaches
b. Laparoscopic/robotic adrenalectomy (transabdominal and retroperitoneal) as well as open adrenalectomy for ACC
c. Hepatic and pancreas endocrine surgical oncology (RFA/resection neuroendocrine hepatic metastases, carcinoid, islet cell tumors)
d. Office-based procedures (cervical ultrasonography, fine needle aspiration, laryngoscopy)
e. Head and neck oncology (neck dissection, parotid, melanoma, squamous cell cancer)
f. Multidisciplinary Endocrine Neoplasia Center office hours and conferences [which includes the Thyroid and Parathyroid Center (staffed by endocrine surgery, endocrinology, cytopathology, nuclear medicine and medical oncology) and The Adrenal Center (staffed by endocrinology, endocrine surgery, cardiology, medical oncology and other ancillary specialists)].
g. Robotic endocrine surgery including the BABA technique (Dr Hyun Suh at Mount Sinai Beth Israel)
In order to provide advanced training in laparoscopy and to prepare our trainees for a career after fellowship, the Endocrine Surgery fellow will also receive wide exposure to Advanced Laparoscopy, and Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The Endocrine Surgery fellow partners with the MIS fellow to share call, split teaching responsibilities, etc. The Endocrine Surgery fellow will participate in a large number of diverse procedures including:
a. Metabolic surgery: GI procedures designed to address Type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome
b. Foregut: fundoplications, paraesophageal hernia repairs, Heller myotomies and gastric/small bowel resections
c. Bariatric: laparoscopic gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band placement, sleeve
gastrectomy, duodenal switch and revisional procedures
d. Transplant: laparoscopic donor nephrectomy
e. General Surgery: laparoscopic inguinal and ventral hernia repair; diagnostic laparoscopy,
appendectomy, cholecystectomy
The Fellow participates in several clinical research projects during the year and is expected to present at a national meeting, generally AAES, IAES, SAGES, ACS, and/or ASMBS. To facilitate the production of academic videos, the fellow is provided with access to professional quality video recording and editing equipment. The fellow is expected to assist in writing review articles and book chapters. The fellow presents Grand Rounds to the Department of Surgery and plays an active role in the education of Mount Sinai residents and medical students.
