Ureteroenteric strictures can be challenging. Tips to make it easier: SP robot for access in prev op abdomen, antegrade URS to ID ureter, cystoscopy in diversion, move diversion to ureter to reduce ischemia. bilat repair to neobladder, 70mins

I love the way @CanesDavid is able to use technology to allow doctors to recapture the magic of medicine. Inspiring talk!.
🔮I have a vision for a future where doctors only have to focus on connecting with patients and providing the best possible care. All other noise fades into the background. 🕊️. I won't stop working in this direction, and I appreciate @AmyPearlman1 and @UrologyTimes for giving.

what an incredible year! @AmrElbakryUro will be missed. loved by patients and key contributions to innovations in free flap urethroplasty, transvaginal ureter reimplant, transvesical BMG posterior urethroplasty, sp retro donor nephrectomy, ProACT, & countless more.
Walking out of NYU one last time as my fellowship ends. What an incredible experience! Amazing year, of innovations, amazing surgical experience and learning from the best @lee_c_zhao who never held back knowledge. Grateful for everything I learned and everyone I met @NYUUrology

At meetings such as @SocietyGURS @AmerUrological, I frequently wear the @Apple Vision Pro while using my laptop. Ppl ask why the VR? I like having a large screen projection while being able to see my surroundings. Great for video editing & spreadsheets at work @nyulangone

Buccal graft ureteroplasty makes ureteral recon simpler, even for long strictures. In this case, 5cm stricture, prior pyeloplasty. Supine retro approach. Full length case, 93 mins @societyGURS via @YouTube.

During reconstructive surgery, sometimes you want to make a sharp cut, but how to get the scalpel blade inside safely? Use a sheath--made from sputum trap tubing, closed on one end with suture. Idea inspired by discussion w @UABUroOnc @ZLeeGU during @surgquest webinar.

Fantastic talk by @md_eun on buccal graft ureteroplasty. It’s a story of innovation, friendship, and ultimately great patient benefit.
It’s been >decade since buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty was first performed robotically by @lee_c_zhao and @mdstifelman. Since then it’s now the standard approach for most ureteral strictures. I just presented this at the AUA. Now available on VuMedi.

I watch surgical videos to improve technique. Question is where to find content. Join @surgquest for high quality surgical education videos. Clip from my narrated SP retro pyeloplasty, non-transecting with mucosal advancement and Y-V flap. Full length uncut 24 mins.
