Professor & Chair Of Surgery

2011 has been a busy year for the Department of Surgery. We’ve added three new faculty members. Dr. Jennifer McGee has rejoined the faculty after

completing her Kidney Transplant Fellowship. Jennifer is continuing her impressive research into disparities of access and outcomes for surgical care due to racial and gender differences. I believe that Jennifer’s research has tremendous potential and has already provided substantial insight into an important aspect of improving patient care.

Dr. Bob Saggi joined the Department in the Section of Abdominal Transplant Surgery. Bob brings with him experience in abdominal transplantation including intestinal. A goal for the upcoming year is to reinstitute our intestinal failure and intestinal transplant program under Bob’s leadership.

Dr. Sabrena Noria has joined the Department in the Section of General and Minimally Invasive Surgery. Sabrena completed her training at the University of Ohio and has plans to create a state of the art metabolic surgical program in cooperation with Chip Bellows and our Endocrine colleagues. This Center will provide a level of expertise and care which will improve the health of countless people in our region.

Tulane’s Surgery’s international global health initiatives continue to develop and flourish. Under Dr. Bernie Jaffe’s leadership and supported by Operation Smile and the American College of Surgeons, our Department has educated hundreds of f i rst responders throughout Asia. Each of our PGY III Residents travels with Dr. Jaffe for a minimum of two weeks. The latest trip in November 2011 involved first responder courses held in Vietnam and Myanmar. The program is planning to expand to Africa in 2012.

In addition to our international first responder initiatives, we have completed an agreement with the Claude Bernard University in Lyon France. Eric Simms will be living and working as a Surgical Resident in Lyon for the next six months. We’re excited about the opportunities that our global health initiatives have afforded

and the recognition that our commitment to an in te rna t iona l p resence has g i ven the Department.

2011 was also an exciting year for reconnecting with our alumni and others to increase funding and support for critical needs of the Department. In support of resident education, Dr. James “Butch” Knoepp (MD ‘71, General Surgery Residency ‘80) and his wife Dr. Ulla Ule, a graduate of Newcomb College 1970, MD ’73, Residency ’76, Fellowship ’81, and MBA ’91, have provided an endowed fund in memory of Dr. Louis Knoepp. This fund will support resident education and research initiatives. The costs of resident education and research are increasing and the need to support these endeavors through gifts and endowments has never been greater. The generous support of people such as Drs. Knoepp and Ule aid the Department tremendously in its educational and research missions.

Another development initiative that has gained momentum is the creation of an endowed fund for the Dr. Norman E. McSwain, Jr. Annual Trauma Conference. Initially supported by a generous lead gift from Dr. McSwain, this annual trauma conference will provide state of the art education in a multi disciplinary format to first responders and health care teams dedicated to the management of the acutely injured patient. This annual conference will be held in New Orleans and will provide an educational resource that currently does not exist. In addition to Dr. McSwain’s initial support of the endowment, the NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians) Board has recognized the value of supporting this endowment and the NAEMT Board voted to provide funding. We are well on our way to endowing this annual conference, but we still need additional gifts to make this a reality.

As we look forward to 2012, we will continue to work with our alumni and other supporters of the Department of Surgery in order to further strengthen the educational and research missions of the Department. Please feel free to contact me about opportunities for giving and supporting Surgery and Surgical Services at Tulane.

“Surgeon Helps Medical Mission

Aboard Africa Mercy”

By Arthur NeadMedia SpecialistTulane Public Relations & New Wave

Eleven years ago Tulane surgeon Dr. Peter Meade volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone. This summer he returned to the West African country, one of the continent’s poorest, f o r a two -week s t i n t per forming

operations aboard the hospital ship Africa Mercy.

The world’s largest charity hospital ship, the Africa Mercy has six operating rooms and a 78-bed hospital. The 499 foot-long vessel, with six operating rooms and a 78-bed hospital for post-operative recovery, is owned and operated by Mercy Ships, a faith-based medical mission organization headquartered in Texas.

“I heard about this for many years and I’ve always wanted to go. Within the last year I decided to pursue it,” says Meade, an Assistant Professor of Clinical Surgery. “The ship serves people at ports along the coast of West Africa where they determine the need is great.”

At screenings, crowds of people stand in line for hours to see a Mercy Ships doctor. Once approved, they are given a date to return to the ship for surgery. The need is always greater than the capacity the ship has for treatment.

“I dealt with things that general surgeons are well versed in dealing with. Basically, I did a lot of hernias and hydroceles,” Meade says. “I did 32 cases during my eight operating room days, about four a day. There is a tremendous backlog of people who need these procedures.”

During Meade’s tour the volunteers who staffed the ship were f rom 36 d i f f e ren t coun t r ie s . Spec ia l i s t s i nc luded ophthalmologists, maxillofacial surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists. Physicians, however, make up only a small part of this floating village. There are also nurses, physical therapists, cooks, engineers and writers on board.

Through the cooperation of the entire Mercy Ship’s crew — medical and non-medical —lives are transformed every single day. “Mercy Ships is very well organized,” says Meade, “and we all worked as a team — nobody functions by themselves.”

Care In The Line Of Fireby Fran SimonSenior Editor

Tulane Publications & New Wave

Tulane trauma expert Dr. Norman McSwain has returned from Ecuador, where he led doctors and medics from 10 Latin American countries in tactical combat casualty care training. Dr. Norman McSwain is an expert in prehospital trauma

life-support training who led doctors and medics from 10 Latin American countries through rigorous scenarios.

McSwain, a professor of surgery, taught training techniques to a group of 25

caregivers. These, in turn, will relay the skills to front-line caregivers who, according to McSwain, “have to take care of wounded patients while the bad

guys are still shooting at them.” McSwain pioneered the development of prehospital trauma life-support training in 1981, and worked with the National

Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) to publish the textbook on the subject. The textbook is now in the 7th edition and has been translated into 11 languages. Since that

time, about 700,000 emergency medical technicians in 55 countries have been trained to care for injured persons until they can receive hospital care.

A combat version of the textbook was published in 2002 providing the curriculum for training military, doctors and

medics.

Once in Ecuador, McSwain and an NAEMT colleague learned to adapt the curriculum to the specific needs of Latin American countries, including Mexico, where combat situations might include bank robberies, battles with drug lords

and hostage situations, environments that McSwain says are “far more common events than we think about in the United States.”

Combat situations require basic skills for treating trauma but also require specific considerations such as the caregiver

knowing how to quickly put a tourniquet on himself while caring for the wounded at the same time. Foremost is learning skills to keep the caregiver and the patient out of harm’s way.

“You wouldn’t put in an endotracheal tube in that kind of environment,” says McSwain, “because the minute you turn on

the laryngoscope, the light would draw fire.”

Tulane Department of Surgery

Collaborates with

Slidell Memorial Regional Cancer Center

Plastic Surgery and the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery are collaborating with Slidell Memorial Hospital (SMH) to open a Head and Neck Cancer Clinic at the new SMH Regional Cancer Center, located in Slidell, Louisiana. The new clinic, which opened on January 6th, expands the cancer care offered at Slidell Memorial Hospital and provides a more convenient office location for head and neck cancer patients living on the North Shore and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Working at the clinic will be:

‣ Dr. Rizwan Aslam, Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery and a Fellowship trained head and neck oncology / microvascular reconstruction surgeon.

‣ Dr. Ernest S. Chiu, a specialist in facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, is an Associate Professor of Surgery and Director of Plastic Surgery Research at Tulane. Dr. Chiu, along with Dr. Paul Friedlander, has recently developed a unique surgical approach to reconstruct the pharyngeal and esophageal lining of

patients who have had a significant portion of their neck and larynx removed as part of their cancer treatment.

‣ Dr. Paul Friedlander, a Fellowship trained head and neck surgical oncologist and Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology. Dr. Friedlander was one of the first Head and Neck surgeons in Louisiana to offer robot-assisted trans-oral surgery for head and neck cancers, which provides patients an effective, minimally invasive alternative to traditional approaches for oral cavity surgery.

Over 75,000 new cases of head and neck cancers are diagnosed in the United States each year. Head and neck cancers include cancers of the mouth, lip, tongue, salivary glands, tonsils, larynx and pharynx. The number of head and neck cancers is growing each year due, in part, to the increasing number of HPV related oral cancers. Tulane and SMH are working jointly to raise community awareness about head and neck cancers and the importance of early detection.
