Excited for our most recent work published in JCI jci.org/articles/view/…, showing different modes of molecular and clinical progression in distinct molecular subtypes of prostate cancer. A tweetorial thread --> 1/n

Here's what we know already for Aquablation vs HOLEP Juan Justo Quintas recent paper at 6 MONTHS: Aqua = 0% leakage. 95% ejn preserved HOLEP = 4% leakage. 11% ejn preserved #WATER3 to provide early recovery at 1 & 3 months? % of men needing pelvic physio?

Brazil taking another step towards the democratization of #AEEP. Morcelator and nephroscope are no longer barriers here. Using an orthopedic shaver (available at any hospital), we developed a specific kit for suprapubic morcellation. Join us at EAU Madrid 2025

Using a "swoop" technique can ease your transition to low anterior retroperitoneal access with the da Vinci SP. Simple, fast and very reproducible case to case. Here's a short video explanation on a right sided partial nephrectomy. Sound on. Lets go!

Imagine losing a loved one and then continuing to receive healthcare appointment reminders for months afterward. This happens to families across America because there isn’t a coordinated system to notify doctors when people die outside of the hospital. State systems that track

HOT OFF THE PRESS New JAMA Surgery original article from our team Surgical Performance Metrics for 1-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes After Radical Prostatectomy. Using performance metrics (technical skills and surgical gestures) collected from videos, we are able to anticipant

With the ASGBI meeting taking place in Edinburgh, it is prudent to revisit my previous 🧵on the deaths in the movie 'Braveheart'. As you may recall, the goal was to estimate how many deaths were preventable if trauma surgical care was available in Scotland at the time. (1/)

Excited to share our latest study in NEJM AI ! 🚀 We introduce NTEP, a NIH platform that uses large language models to extract data from unstructured medical reports with 99.8% accuracy – bridging AI with real-world medical research 🔗 Free access: ai.nejm.org/stoken/default…

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is the first school in the nation to grant all medical and graduate students access to OpenAI’s educational platform — leading the way in integrating AI into medical education. Fifth year MD, PhD student Joy Jiang recently sat down

Yesterday we celebrated our remarkable graduating residents, Drs. Ramaswamy, Thorogood, Zhang & Zhu and fellows, Drs. Abankwa, Abrahimi, Couvaras & Masterson. Our residents also awarded Dr. Samson with the Excellence in Resident Education Award. Congratulations to our graduates!

SP is like having a camera with a bag of 10 lenses compared to a single lens. The options to approach a given task are much more numerous than the single lens option so more cognitive load. Once you figure out how you like to do things though it starts to even out.

It is easier and flashier to evaluate LLMs on clean data like NEJM cases, but we can't start talking about "medical superintelligence" until we engage with the messy reality of actual real-world clinical data

Lower urinary tract symptoms are common among men and are usually caused by BPH, overactive bladder detrusor, or both. This Narrative Review summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of these symptoms. ja.ma/4eSL0z4

Glad to see Epic outline a vision for AI agents integrated into EHR workflows for clinicians ("Art"), administrators ("Penny"), and patients ("Emmie"). We need it all and I am particularly excited about what this means for our patients (1/4 🧵)
