So great to have my friend Alexander P Cole at Yale Urology to talk about health disparities and climate change pertaining to urology. Phenomenal talk and very relevant to everyday practice

We did it!! I am really honoured to lead this important FIH study! A novel transurethral robotic system that can make ERBT much easier, and hopefully we can generalize the technique to every urologist globally. A better surgery will lead to better outcomes!! 🌎 #UroSoMe

A 🧵 on our recent study on surveillance for IR-NMIBC European Urology Oncology authors.elsevier.com/c/1l7pU_wtP00L… There is limited evidence on follow-up for IR-NMIBC. We used data from >2000 primary Ta–T1 NMIBC to stratify IR-NMIBC by recurrence risk and propose a risk-adapted follow-up approach.
