Congratulations to Lindsey Evans and Dr. John Knight for graduating from the UAB Healthcare Leadership Academy this week! 👏 👏 👏 UAB Heersink School of Medicine


The last day in a clinic and OR 名古屋市立大学 My last case was a HoLEP! After a 20-year of practice in Japan 🇯🇵, now I’m ready to join UAB Urology to further explore #endourology field. #UroSoMe #IMG UAB Heersink School of Medicine


#BEAM25 sets the stage for great moments and great discussions. Sima Porten Silvia Proietti Camille Berquin Joyce Baard, Marianne Brehmer bring upper tract urothelial cancer expertise to life. Panel discussions are a great way to deliver expert opinions through dialogue!


Kids following in footsteps r a credit to inspiring parents. Father/son like Larry Baskin UCSFUrology & Avi Baskin, Geert & Thomas Tailly. Father/multi kids (Isaac Kim Yale Urology & Isaac Jr & Juliana Stanford Urology). Mother/daughter pairs Cecilia Cracco & Eugenia rep@ #BEAM25!


Food for thought by Daron Smith at #BEAM25- PCNL and SWL are more cost effective than URS DESPITE URS case numbers growing the fastest! Makes you wonder if we’re doing the right thing with all these ureteroscopes…🤔


The marks of a master speaker- no slides, one prop, one disclosure: “I’m super super biased, this is something I invented 15 years ago.” The inimitable Olivier Traxer at #BEAM25 when tasked to tell people what his favorite disposable tool is. Great communicators are great storytellers!


As Dr. Rais-Bahrami moves on to his new role as chair of Wake Forest Urology, we want to wish him the best of luck! We will miss you in the @uabheersink Department of Urology and thank you for all you have done for us. Soroush Rais-Bahrami, MD, MBA, FACS


#BEAM25 balloon debate: how to treat a 68 y/o W with 1.5 cm renal pelvis & 5 mm upper pole stones, hfu 500. The twist? Factor V Leiden. Feras Al Jaafari put up a good fight with med rx but I took the gold (stent) with ECIRS/Mini pcnl. Sorry Cecilia Cracco Daron Smith Vincent De Coninck
