Behold… a BCI Rockstar! Exciting milestone with a rockstar team at @UMiamiHealth 🌴 Also, these guys must have the secret sauce because I’m not sure a neurosurgery department could get much higher on the cool factor …looking at you @AllanLeviMD @BuonicontiFund #jonjagid…

Thrilled to share that our new manuscript on brachial plexus lipomas has been published in Neurosurgery. Grateful to my mentors @AllanLeviMD, @KhalafallahAM, and the @UMneurosurgery team for the opportunity to first-author this paper. #Neurosurgery #PeripheralNerve
Rare but real: Brachial plexus lipomas can hide in plain sight, causing nerve deficits. Our @NeurosurgeryCNS review guides diagnosis, surgery, and recovery. 🔗 doi.org/10.1227/neu.00… #Neurosurgery #PeripheralNerve

Thrilled to share that our recent publication is officially in press today! This work explores the impacts of heatsinks on LITT outcomes for primary CNS tumors and reflects the dedication, innovation, and collaboration of the Miami LITT team and Brain Tumor Institute. Go team 🙌🏼
Can patients with brain tumors safely go home the same day after LITT? Our pilot study shows it's safe & feasible in selected patients. 🔗:rdcu.be/elLyv

Hearing Dr. @jacquesmorcosmd say, "I am none of those things, because quite simply, I am all of those things," stirred deep memories. Grateful for the humility, resilience, grit, and strength he instilled in us at @UMneurosurgery, lessons that shaped who I am.


What a great AANS meeting in Boston - everyone enjoyed 🙌 neurosurgery alumni session and honoring our former cochair - @jacquesmorcos for his presidential year. My wife @tererodrigueztv did an awesome job interviewing Bob Woodruff and Dr. Rocco Armando at the opening session.
Welcoming the newest members @UMneurosurgery Familia 🙌🏻🤩
