A mentor once said to me,"it's okay to commit a mistake, but it's not okay if you don't admit it". Surgeons, being heroic at many times, do have to learn to put down their egos to become truly great people. Are you willing to put down your ego?

! Tobacco use is associated with Ca bladder incidence & mortality. A certain level of economic capacity may be needed to further reduce Ca bladder mortality in countries with a decreasing trend of tobacco use.
I feel very grateful to have >1000 responses in 9 days, and we understand a lot more about the global impact of COVID-19 on urological services. This will never be successful without YOU. This is the power of
#UroSoMe
. I will arrange an online session to summarise the results.
Can urological cancer surgeries be delayed in the pandemic of Covid-19? I am doing a systematic review to sum up the evidence on this, and there are 2910 articles to screen. Active collaborators needed, pls DM me if you are interested to help. Hope to get it done ASAP!
#UroSoMe
Very proud of my student

When I was a trainee, I always wonder, why do we have to rely on TURBT to stage a MIBC? Can we possibly biopsy the detrusor muscle during flex cystoscopy? If so, perhaps we can spare TURBT and proceed to radical cystectomy directly in patients with biopsy-proven MIBC? (1/n)
I must say, it is my absolute honour to review the

This is a very important piece of work. TURBT alone (without TURP) was associated with more recurrences. Does the presence of bladder outlet obstruction increase tumour seeding risk? What are your thoughts?
