Fun day at Penn Urology in the OR with Ben Schurhamer, MD and AJohnyMD working on SP regionalized surgery. Very impressed with this team’s skills, efficiency and creativity with these approaches. Very smooth!

Great day in the OR with my old fellowship buddy Sam Bhayani, MD. Low anterior retro radical Nx and extraperitoneal prostate (SP). Great fun reminiscing about the good old days. Still the force of personality and slick surgeon I remember when he was showing me the ropes at

Low anterior retro SP access for endophytic anterior tumor in horseshoe kidney. Selective clamping showing perfused isthmus and lower pole during resection. Versatility of easily lifting the isthmus and approaching vessels posteriorly and then immediately shifting to anterior

STEP outcomes (transvesical simple prostatectomy) continue to impress me. 4 YEARS of retention despite multiple transurethral procedures (urolift, TURP, treatment of urethral stricture) & failed prostate embolization. Simple outpatient STEP procedure with 3 days of

Splitting the prostate anteriorly at the apex during SP Transvesical Simple Prostatectomy (STEP) preserves the urethral stump and simplifies reconstruction. Easier, faster, safer and more reproducible case to case! (sound on...)

Interesting. I did a STEP today and liked the new instruments. No conflicting and we had quite a small bladder. The force bipolar was great - maybe a game changer for STEP. Needle drivers were nice but not that dramatic a change in that small space. Operated with standard and

Very appreciative of the unwavering support from St. Luke's Health MD in getting this SP program off the ground over the past three years. Privileged to be the sole site within CommonSpirit Health offering this to our patients. Hopefully many more to come. It’s been a great partnership.

Force Bipolar adds a new wrinkle to transvesical STEP procedures -> near tenaculum-like pulls during adenoma segmenting. Brings a smile to the face. However, wish it was strong at baseline with actuation to gentle mode rather than the reverse as now. Requires fancy footwork...

Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) dramatically improves treatment of large kidney stones. BCM Department of Urology and St. Luke's Health MD endourologists are pioneers in using mini and ultra mini PCNL instruments, offering this advanced surgery with same day discharge.

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!

Da Vinci SP regionalized surgery through low anterior access can be particularly valuable for nephroureterectomy. Here's an example of a simple nephroureterectomy published in Urology Video Journal (UVJ) with tips and tricks and suggestions for patient selection. doi.org/10.1016/j.urol…

Big news - potentially opening up a lot of options for #SP surgeons. Excited for the potential of outpatient regionalized kidney donor surgery amongst other ideas. Let’s go!
