For retro SP cases I do lower quadrant. For trans Sp cases i use umbilical. Cosmetically I really like the umbilical incision. Welcome any thoughts from friends @NYCRoboticTeam @SimoneCrivella2 @drjkaouk @jimhumd @drpalese @RoboDocX @UABRenLec @lee_c_zhao

Thanks david for the shout out. Any residents/fellows/attendings looking for some full length videos check out . You have inspired me to add more like renal vein transposition and double buccal.

This works as I have used same technique as described by LZ. Don’t have these size balloons so use 30 fr 10 cm. Works well and easily able to pass 26 fr resectoscope after

It must be stressed-Nathan prepared for this moment by completing our state of the art simulation program @IntuitiveSurg , assisting bedside and reviewing our extensive video library. He will also participate in our @CSATSinc program - we invest heavily in resident training.

Getting excited to start the Congress. The superbowl of Robotic Urology. 26 live multiport; 6 single port and 28 semi-live in 3 days. Going to Lear a lot. Special thanks to Vito Pansadoro for spearheading this Congress for 20 years.

Just over 4 weeks away! Opportunity to learn robotics and focal therapy with hands on for both! If you are a SUO or Endourology fellow this is not to be missed. Designed for transitioning attending and those looking to explore some new skill sets.

Congrats. As I like to say “if not reproducible it does not matter how good an individual results are, still not a good operation” we are seeing this technique being reproduced around the world! ? Less learning curve than holep

Big thank you to my friends and colleagues @drjkaouk @SimoneCrivella2 @RoboticsUrology @NYCRoboticTeam This morning I took all the knowledge you shared and applied to a redo pyeloplasty. 70 minutes and so much easier going in away from previous surgery. Before/after below
