Dr Shubha De is doing URS with no anesthesia. Flexible URS only, no UAS, no baskets. Laser dusting and no stent. Avg time: 39 min. Amazing

I know, i know the robotic mini suction cath (Monarch Robot, Johnson & Johnson) is not yet available and only under clinical trial right now. Who has used some of the other technologies and what do you think?.

Can't wait to see everyone at AUA. i'll be talking at plenary on Suction devices: Should we be using them? Read it in the AUA News here: or tell us which ones you use and why?.

this new validated questionnaire will make looking at stent symptoms so streamlined and is easy to use. Naeem has been working with others at EAU to get this translated into several other languages! way to go!.
🙏 to @MattBultitude for highlighting our work at the Best of Stones session #EAU25.Our NEWLY Validated stent symptom score can be completed in <7 mins! Hopefully this will facilitate stent research going forward.@DrBenChew @EndoLuminalEndo @thomastailly @DrKScotland @emiliani_e

This registry data shows SOLTIVE TFL laser is good for both hard and soft stones with 3mo SFR of 73% (kidney) and 85.7% (ureter).

I couldn’t agree more Fábio. From the stone side, we saw more suction URS, robotic URS and PCNL access and more research on intrarenal pressure and temperature from URS!.
This was a GREAT #WCET24, congrat to all @Endo_Society! My feelings: with high power lasers, suction, FANS, Burst Wave Lithotripsy, Ultrasound, Intraop CT and robots, we must redo ALL our studies, because the outcomes and parameters will be totally different, a new Endouro 2.0!.
