I’ve said it for years - keep your belly button clean! And now we have a 6 point visual scale for umbilicus level of filth.

Knew those bellybuttons were dirty blighters!!

Clean those belly buttons! Actually correlated with outcomes after colorectal procedures .

YES!

Interesting... increasing contamination also correlates with increasing LOS. I wonder if this is not just about cleanliness and is a surrogate for something like frailty?

Ha! Justification for those precious minutes doing what we call 'digging for potatoes' 🥔. #QualityAndSafety I'm almost afraid to ask what other local expressions are used for this procedure? 😳 One of my bosses used to call it 'cleaning the lint catcher'.

I keep waiting for one on REAL postop activity/lifting restrictions post abdominal surgery (MIS especially). 2/4/6 weeks? 10/15 lbs? Feel like this is one of our worst areas of dogma with very little good data, but likely matters a lot to patients.
