You know it’s an excellent SP course when attendees stick around for 30 min after course end to ask questions. Awesome course faculty @RoboDocX @ZSchwen @oooitsjulz covered a breath of topics . We even had some pearls from the worlds expert in SP @drjkaouk in an avatar form

Great graphic highlighting this access @RoboDocX always looking to simplify SP surgery 💪



Join us at #WCET2025 for the #SP Instruction Course at 5pm to discuss practical tricks to make low anterior access retro #SP surgery easy and repeatable. Struggling with low anterior access? We boil it down to the solid basics that will make your journey easy and fun.

Enjoyable time moderating a poster session on laparoscopy and robotics at #WCET25 with colleagues @RamPathakMD and Jinsung Park. Great job by the presenters in the hot seat.

Lovely day yesterday spending time with @Kazumi_Taguchi doing three transvesical simple prostatectomies. @UABUrology is building quite the powerhouse in bph treatment (looking at you @jfunkmd 👍🏼). Thanks to Ryan Winn for organizing.

SP is like having a camera with a bag of 10 lenses compared to a single lens. The options to approach a given task are much more numerous than the single lens option so more cognitive load. Once you figure out how you like to do things though it starts to even out.

Just had this conversation with one of my chief residents last week who did the SP cases that day with me & mentioned at the end of the day how he just felt mentally more tired. The cognitive load is definitely higher early on but thankfully it becomes more muscle memory in time



This was a lot of fun to record. An honest discussion of the transformative power of regionalized single site robotics - both pluses and minuses. @mdstifelman and I have witnessed a lot of radical change in the MIS world over the past 20 years but somehow SP hits harder than…

Big news - potentially opening up a lot of options for #SP surgeons. Excited for the potential of outpatient regionalized kidney donor surgery amongst other ideas. Let’s go!

Da Vinci SP regionalized surgery through low anterior access can be particularly valuable for nephroureterectomy. Here's an example of a simple nephroureterectomy published in @urovidjournal with tips and tricks and suggestions for patient selection. doi.org/10.1016/j.urol…
