Great job by our @CleClinicUro MS3 Haitong @eric000714 who crushed his presentation on integration of US guidance in PCNL access. Key point: US guided access is safe with similar complication rate to standard fluoro access. Go Haitong! #WCET2025

Amazing to see how far we have come with single use scopes, now to see where robotics will go!
Very helpful presentations by Drs Bechis and Stern reviewing single use scopes in ECIRS and handheld robotics in pcnl access. Also, big thanks to @SSivalingamMD and @anna_zampini for moderating these semi-live surgery presentations! #WCET2025

Agree—as long as the science is sound, it helps overcome #language barriers, balances the currency of #communication, and improves the dissemination of #knowledge

Why are only 15% of medical decisions backed by randomized trials? 🤔 In the latest Ditch the Labcoat episode, Dr. Allan Detsky and Dr. Mark Bonta unpack the complexities of evidence-based medicine and what it means for patient care. From the opioid crisis to climate change's

Some food for thought when using single-use devices, esp #ureteroscopes: While definitive evidence on #carbonfootprint of single-use vs. reusable scopes limited, thoughtful use tailored to case-specific indications can promote sustainability @CleClinicUro #endourology #RIRS
Viewpoint: Moving towards a more "green" practice of medicine, by prioritizing sustainability and reusable devices, allows us to reinvest in the health of patients and the health of future generations. https://t.co/GXB99KIA5i
