It is with deep sadness that the we mourn the sudden loss of our co-founder, past-president, mentor, colleague and friend Dr. Sean Cleary. A gifted surgeon and passionate advocate for the HPB community, his impact and friendship touched us all.
Our hearts are with his family 💐

Thanks to all the amazing patients, surgeons, and researchers who made this trial possible.
TXA did not reduce bleeding or blood transfusion but increased periop complications after liver resection.

Concerned that organ donation conflicts with your religious beliefs? Most major religions see it as an act of love and charity. If you're unsure, speak with a spiritual or religious advisor to understand how donating organs can align with compassionate values. #MythBusters
