The Oculofacial Podcast

Join us for part two of the peri-ocular oncology discussion where we provide a window into the orbital tumor board at Wills Eye and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital!   Featuring an in-depth multidisciplinary discussion with experts: Dr. Carol Shields and Dr. Sara Lally (Ocular Oncology), Dr. Jennifer Johnson (Medical Oncology), Dr. Joseph Curry (Head and Neck Surgery), and Dr, Charlotte Marous (Oculoplastic Surgery).  Delivering patient-centered, cutting-edge care, truly takes a village!

Host: Dr. Andrea Tooley Panelists: Dr. Gary Lelli, Dr. Kelsey Roelofs, and Dr. Kyle Godfrey In this episode of the Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club, host Dr. Andrea Tooley is joined by experts across the field of oculofacial plastic and orbital surgery. Dr. Gary Lelli discusses the reimbursements of hospital vs. office based surgical procedures and implications for healthcare spending. Dr. Kelsey Roelofs provides her clinical expertise in ocular oncology to discuss immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced periocular and orbital squamous cell carcinoma and the group chats about the future of neoadjuvant therapies and exenteration surgeries. Dr. Kyle Godfrey shares his robust experience in TONES to discuss surgical approaches in transorbital endoscopic surgery in a new cadaveric study. All three panelists are experts in their field and share helpful insights for clinical practice in oculoplastic surgery.    

We spend years mastering the technical skills of oculoplastic surgery - but almost no time learning how to protect our bodies. In this episode, host Dr. Kelsey Roelofs is joined by Dr Jennifer Sivak-Callcott and occupational therapist Linda Miller to discuss the data behind surgical ergonomics, the specific risks facing oculoplastic surgeons inside and outside the OR, and the evidence-based habits that can make a difference in saving your neck (and career!)
