Great to catch up with Hashim U. Ahmed and Mark Emberton at #AUA2023! Great discussion on #focaltherapy and #HIFU . Their mentorship (along with Caroline Moore of course!) has been so valuable as I have expanded the prostate cancer focal therapy offerings at Mayo Clinic Urology

Excellent HoLEP talk by Mayo Clinic Urology alum Dr. Ilya Sobol at #FOCAL2023! In addition to the great talks so far on focal therapy, the BPH talks have been excellent this morning. Couldn’t be there in person this year, but thoroughly enjoying the livestream! FOCAL+ 2025

Had a great time at the #ipmasterclass24! Great programme and good to see so many friends and colleagues. Was even able to sneak in a little sightseeing around London with Dan Frendl!

Had a great time at the Minnesota Urological fall meeting in Duluth. It was great to connect with colleagues from across the state, including several Mayo Clinic Urology alums. After my talk, it was great to take in the views as we cruised on Lake Superior and through Duluth Harbor.

Great talk on #AI in the OR by Abhinav Khanna at Minnesota Urological 🤔 Can it estimate bladder tumor size? 🔢 Assist with tasks like counting instruments? 👩🏻‍⚕️Assess surgical skills, incorporate into education 😱 Will robots replace surgeons??! Tip of the iceberg!
