During the current era of COVID-19 and social distancing, our Grand Rounds lecture series has adapted by temporarily transitioning to a virtual format. On April 8, 2020, we hosted our first virtual lecture via Microsoft Teams, the Master Surgeon Lecture “Peritoneal Surgery: The Evolution of a New Surgical Subspecialty” presented by David L. Bartlett, MD.
