2 years ago: NO laser enucleation of the prostate available in Alberta. This week: we combined to laser enucleate >1000g of prostate tissue from patients across the province. #HoLEP #ThuLEP @Nick_sDean @fadl_hamouche @UAlbertaUrology @saiuCalgary

Sold out enucleation for BPH course at the AUA 2024. It takes a village to get one of these courses off the ground and I truly appreciate all the experts- from clinicians to industry -who dedicated their time. Thank you!@NM_Urology @EndourologyNm @AssmusMark #AUA24

24 fr scope for HoLEP has similar efficiency, but poorer subjective flow/visualization compared to 28 Fr. No difference in postoperative continence recovery, hematuria or complications. Lower same day cath removal rate. @Nick_sDean @AssmusMark @MSLee_MD @KyleTsaiUro

Single transverse chest roll is safe and effective for prone PCNL positioning compared to double transverse! An easier method with some potential patient benefits @JennyGuo_Uro @Nick_sDean @AssmusMark @amy_krambeck @MSLee_MD
