This is our social media review for March 2022. Many interesting things related to the BJS community were shared on social media, but all of them occurred on Twitter.
March 2022 started with a “Yes, but” tweet by Derek O’Reilly (@DerekAOReilly) citing Kjetil Soreide’s (@ksoreide) open-access Needle Point on the use of perioperative chemotherapy for resectable colorectal liver metastasis. He was surprised that “post-chemo liver toxicity” wasn’t cited by Soreide as an argument against it.

Good opinion piece in @BJSurgery."Time to halt perioperative #chemotherapy for resectable #colorectalcancer#Liver metastasis?" Surprised you didn't cite post-chemo liver toxicity as argument against, @ksoreide.@CLiFF_Study@CoNoR_Studyhttps://t.co/4EoYkS9DbT' Derek O'Reilly (@DerekAOReilly) March 1, 2022
Yes, could have mentioned that point to, but most of this was aluded to use of adjuvant chemo for which liver tox is less of an issue. For neoadjuvant I agree with you.' Kjetil Søreide (@ksoreide) March 1, 2022
On the same date, @BJSurgery posted a high-impact tweet (11 retweets, 22 likes, accessed on April 17th 2022) sharing a paper on the contemporary inguinal hernia management by Stina Öberg and Jacob Rosenberg published in March’s issue. Inguinal hernia repair never goes out of fashion and the authors recommend “Mesh repairs, as opposed to sutured repairs, are generally recommended as they have lower recurrence rates without an increased risk of chronic pain”

Educational opportunities in Europe and UK for global surgery are scarce. Mapping centres and programmes is very relevant because safe, timely and affordable surgical care is a global unmet need. That is why @BJSOpen tweeted a research letter on this topic by Lotta Velin and colleagues (@DVervoort94)
