When should Barrett’s surveillance end—and should we screen patients without GERD?
Join me today, 5:15–6:30 PM, at posters P0614 & P0615 to discuss our findings on age, comorbidity, and cancer risk. I’d welcome your perspective!

Publication in @AnnalsofSurgery marks a milestone for mucosal impedance. A review by @Sayazi, @SvenESEriksson, and @JRappaportMD highlights its role in surgical decision‑making & outcome assessment for GERD.

Honored to receive Poster of Distinction at #DDW2026 for our work:
Su1698 – Gastroparesis in Parkinson’s disease
A >400,000 patient analysis highlighting the broader autonomic-enteric phenotype and its clinical consequences.
Appreciative of the mentorship and collaboration that made this possible.
At the poster session now at #DDW2026.
Presenting:
Su1125 – Barrett’s esophagus: antireflux surgery vs medical therapy
Su1698 – Gastroparesis in Parkinson’s disease (400,000+ patients)
Stop by if you’re here—happy to discuss the data and implications.

Honored to receive an Outstanding Presenter Award at #ACG2025 for our study on clinical and demographic predictors of peptic stricture among over 5 million GERD patients.
Grateful to my mentors and collaborators for their support and insight along the way.

📍 Live at #ACG2025 Poster Hall!
Excited to share two of our TriNetX studies:
1️⃣ Cannabis use and surgical outcomes in gastroparesis
2️⃣ National trends and predictors of stricture in GERD
Stop by to talk data, methods, and what these trends mean for foregut practice.

First study to evaluate mucosal impedance (MI) after antireflux surgery.
MI values after successful Nissen fundoplication resemble non-GERD controls, while failures show persistent GERD-like patterns.
MI may serve as an objective marker of surgical success.

📢 Our recent study is out in the June issue of Surgical Endoscopy!
We compared laparoscopic pyloroplasty vs G‑POEM for gastroparesis in 314 patients:
✅ Symptom relief: 76% (pyloroplasty) vs 70% (G‑POEM)
📉GCSI improved in both groups
📊Pyloroplasty showed a trend toward better gastric emptying (70% vs 50%)
