Dr. Mark Lessne was recently on the BackTable VI Podcast with Dr. John Martinie. They discussed the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, patient-centered care, and the role of interventional radiology and surgery in treating benign and malignant biliary diseases. He was on Episode 434 titled “Biliary Disease: Surgical & IR Insights”. It can be found on the BackTable website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
In this episode, the physicians explore various scenarios, including challenges in biliary decompression, the decision-making process behind choosing the right intervention, and the impact of such diseases on patient care plans and outcomes. Dr. Lessne and Dr. Martinie emphasize the importance of viewing interventional radiologists and gastroenterologists as physicians who not only perform procedures, but also provide comprehensive care and follow-up for their patients. Through their dialogue, it becomes clear that successful treatment of biliary diseases requires a combination of technical skill, thoughtful patient engagement, and collaborative practice among specialists.
