Incoming UrologyMSK Oncology Fellow and current WashU Urology Chief Resident Nick Pickersgill, MD giving an update to the MO/KS Urologic meeting on the new Amer. Urol. Assn. guideline on UTUC.

Always a great discussion with world-expert Rachel S. Rubin, MD who gave updates in female sexual medicine at the 2024 Missouri/Kansas Urologic Meeting. Many germane topics for both benign urologists and oncologists alike.

Enjoying the celestial show between cases with H Henry Lai and Lauren Elson WashU Urology

I love this approach to large meetings like #AUA24 and I also think leaving some uncommitted time in between the must-do items allows for spontaneous networking, catching-up with peers, and further enjoyment (and some exercise to feel well).

Loved Jack Andrews plenary presentation at #AUA24 on modern utilization of PSMA imaging strategy in BCR after local treatment for prostate cancer. Earlier detection and treatment must lead to prolongation of first metastatic lesion, disability, and death to add value.

More WashU Urology residents and fellows present their work at #AUA24, including PGY3 Kendrick Campbell who won Best Video and PGY4 Connor McCormick who is competing in the Residents Bowl with the South Central Section of the AUA team.

Congratulations to the South Central Section of the AUA residents bowl team and WashU Urology PGY4 Dr. McCormick for 1st place in the Amer. Urol. Assn. Residents Bowl.

Pretty packed day at #AUA24 watching my fellows present, having mentee lunch and hearing the latest as they all start the job search, hearing bladder cancer updates IBCG program, and then attending Nesbitt reception with Michigan Urology and then Vanderbilt Urology Uro Onc

Excited to launch this trial WashU Urology/Siteman Cancer Center in the coming weeks to offer another option for our high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The expanding portfolio of options for bladder salvage and preservation is great news for patients.

Happy Mother’s Day to a super mom and super doctor!

Bittersweet day as my interns from my Chief year The University of Kansas Department of Urology graduate and move on to the next phase of their career. Exceptional group of men and surgeons. Go forth and conquer.

Washington University surgeons developed the Surgical Prehabilitation and Readiness (SPAR) program to better prepare their complex, medically fragile patients for their procedures, which could improve their health afterward. Learn about the SPAR program: surgery.wustl.edu/patient-care/s…

The audio recording of this BackTable Urology was great, but you can also watch on YouTube and see Vanderbilt Urology prodigy Jeff Tosoian, MD, MPH’s beaming smile live while he is discussing #AUA24 highlights in prostate cancer. youtu.be/yAJpzR4gWEE?fe…

Congratulations to our newest WashU Urology graduates.

Last event of the academic year WashU Urology with Judd Moul of Duke Urology as the Cordonnier Visiting Professor. We’ve enjoyed state of the art talks on prostate cancer detection, treatment, & research from Dr. Moul,Ippolito Lab, and others. Looking forward to Dave Penson in 2025!

Excited to get Dr. Weiss to join our great group of GURS faculty WashU Urology!!!

Pretty sure this concludes my media recaps of urothelial carcinoma advancements from #AUA24. Looking forward to new breakthroughs for patients with bladder cancer reported at #AUA25 in Las Vegas.

I don’t recall which OR circulator suggested it, but these trays from robotic instruments make good no-spill craft platforms for kids (such as this dressmaking going on) and would otherwise go in the trash.

T-5 minutes until I get to give (virtual) Grand Rounds to Vanderbilt Urology on robotic intracorporeal urinary diversion.
