NEW YORK — Before introducing a new technique or piece of technology, surgeons should prepare for all possible outcomes, according to one speaker here.
“I think we’re really lucky because we’re in a specialty that’s really continually evolving, and it seems to be at an exponential rate,” Mitchell P. Weikert, MD, said during a presentation at OSN New York. “It keeps our life interesting and invested in our profession, but it can be stressful.”
Weikert shared a “common sense approach” for introducing new techniques and technologies.
