Lovely day yesterday spending time with @Kazumi_Taguchi doing three transvesical simple prostatectomies. @UABUrology is building quite the powerhouse in bph treatment (looking at you @jfunkmd 👍🏼). Thanks to Ryan Winn for organizing.

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.

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!

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 @urovidjournal with tips and tricks and suggestions for patient selection. doi.org/10.1016/j.urol……

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!

Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) dramatically improves treatment of large kidney stones. @bcm_urology and @StLukesHealthMD endourologists are pioneers in using mini and ultra mini PCNL instruments, offering this advanced surgery with same day discharge.

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...

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

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…

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...)
