Who's going to #WCE2019 in Abu Dhabi, UAE? UCI Urology invites you to come check out what our Endourology Research Team has been working on. #DiscoverTeachHeal Jaime Landman Ralph V. Clayman Robin Patel Zham Okhunov LIFT | UCI Urology


Grateful for the opportunity to be covering #WCE2019 with UCI Urology and UroToday.com !


It was fascinating to learn from Thomas Chi that ultrasound could replace fluoroscopy for percutaneous access in PCNL. I’m all for wearing less lead! #WCE2019 #friends19


What is pop corning? It’s a mixture of dusting and fragmentation. Why do we need it? It creates smaller particulates, defined as < 250 microns, which means fewer passes with a basket and a higher stone free rate! Great talk by Dr. Doizi. UroToday.com #WCE2019

Dr. Glenn Preminger from Duke discussed how suction device Kalera did not increase fluoroscopy time but significantly improved stone free rate for flexible ureteroscopy when prospectively compared to basketing. Is this the future of Endourology? #WCE2019 UroToday.com


Dr. Evangelos Liatsikos brings up an important point about the single use ureteroscope: what is its ecological impact? ORs typically don’t recycle — urologists could be increasingly contributing to landfill waste with single use scopes. #WCE2019 UroToday.com


URS has higher stone free rates compared to ESWL. However, ESWL is associated with shorter LOS and lower complication rates. Ultimately, treatment should be based on patient situation. Great debate between Drs. Dellis and Karavitakis at the #WCE2019 Hellenic Plenary! UroToday.com

2 of 3 urology patients are interested in telemedicine. Are urologists ready to deliver this kind of care? Great talk by Dr. Viers at the Mayo Clinic Rochester. #WCE2019 UroToday.com





Congrats Jimmy Jiang!!

It’s been an honor to work on these projects with the UCI Urology team!

In light of #COVID19 Emory M4s interested in and going into urology like Jimmy Jiang put together a week-long non-clinical urology course for Emory SOM M3s! #learnonedooneteachone


It was an honor to work on this nomination for Viraj Master! I don’t know if I’d be applying into urology today if it weren’t for his mentorship throughout medical school.

Thank you Phillip Pierorazio and Viraj Master for the teaching points! Really appreciate the opportunity to learn from both of you.


My amazing friends and future colleagues Michelle Higgins, MD and Tad Manalo, MD crushin it during their presentations during Emory School of Medicine Med Student Research Day! Michelle's work on sarcopenia is published ! Check it out! --> rb.gy/toascc
