SP enables a lot of creativity which IMO is the best part about surgery.. innovative cases: 1. Intravesical diverticulectomy +/- rasp 2. Intravesical distal ureteral reimplant 3. No incision stoma site RCIC @RoboticsUrology 4. Retro LAA ureteral reimplant in hostile abdomens @urorogerio has example 5. Transvesical Urethrovesical anastomosis breakdown repairs 6. Transvaginal ureteral reimplant 7. Modified template retro rplnd left or right side 8. Retro nephropexy I’m sure there’s tons of other ideas @SimplyUroMD

All can check out what @RoboticsUrology taught me and what we do with SP. This is not a minor improvement like those who don’t adopt say (similar to robotics argument) putting aside obvious benefits when applicable in cases like RALP (no intraabdominal violation - virtually every patient regardless of previous surgery is candidate for surgery, near 0 if not 0 risk of ANY intra-abdominal comps). Even more, As @asajimd and @urorogerio have said, When one understands sp, patient centered direct site surgery allows for more pts to be ideal candidates, reduced unnecessary tissue violation, less anesthesia requirements leading to better postop recovery course. As @RoboticsUrology says, “there is a laundry list of complications that we no longer need to discuss”

Urology community Help teach us non-surgeons the benefit of single port and continence outcomes. Is this something that improves outcomes? @dr_coops @Uroweb @BogdanaSchmidt @ChapinMD @wandering_gu @qdtrinh @jeshoag @SFreedlandMD @EUplatinum @UrologyUS
Justin David@Justindavidmed

Excellent talk by @drjkaouk on Single Port prostatectomy. Data shows early return to continence compared to multiport, consistent with what we’ve seen with our transvesical single port prostatectomies @RamPathakMD

@CanesDavid @SimplyUroMD @uretericbud @DrSpratticus @dr_coops @Uroweb @BogdanaSchmidt @ChapinMD @wandering_gu @qdtrinh @jeshoag @SFreedlandMD @EUplatinum @UrologyUS Agree superficially, it may look like a small step from 5/6 incisions to a single 3 cm incision.But that framing misses the point. When you fully leverage the range of approaches SP enables, it’s not incremental-it’s a fundamentally different,and in many ways revolutionary,shift.

The future of Urology is shaped by physicians like Dr. Akhil Saji. As a former Robotic Urologic Oncology Fellow in the Department of Urology at @KeckMedicineUSC, Dr. Saji sat down with us to share their experience in the program and what they envisioned for their career ahead. We are proud to have played a part in his journey. Learn more about this fellowship here: keck.usc.edu/urology/traini…

Interesting data from #EAU26 2026 comparing BST vs RC. Higher recurrence, cost and anxiety with BST deserve attention. Before committing to BST, refer patients to high-volume surgeons—We routinely perform robotic RC (DV5/SP) in ~3–4 hrs with 0 open conversion, near 0 take back.

#EAU26 Does bladder preservation really improve QoL? Dr. Gessner reviews the CISTO study (n=570) BST vs RC in recurrent high-grade NMIBC. 🔹 Physical function at 12 mo: similar between BST and RC 🔹 RC: better emotional function, ↓ anxiety/depression, ↓ financial burden 🔹 BST: better bowel & sexual outcomes 📊 Oncological outcomes: • CSS similar (99% BST vs 96% RC) • BST → higher recurrence rates • RC → higher perioperative toxicity (90-day mortality ~2.5%) @uroweb @UroToday

A time honored tradition of the @NYSAUA -Chief Resident Debate. Great turn out from @HUMCUrology supporting our chief resident Larry Hou who won his debate in favor of no biopsy for elderly man with elevated PSA. Super proud of our team!

Single Port-reproducible, demonstrable advantages, less invasive. Spend a day or 2 learning with us- busiest SP program in United States. @RoboticsUrology @HUMCUrology . Reach out to your intuitive CSR @IntuitiveSurg
Mutahar Ahmed@RoboticsUrology

Great having you back @urorogerio at @HUMCUrology. Proud to see how far you’ve come since your training—now one of the busiest SP surgeons on the West Coast. Always a pleasure working together and advancing SP robotic surgery.

For anyone looking to advance their sp skills this is a must listen to and pairs well with the ongoing #narus2026 conference.

Naysayers are coming around as the data matures and collective experience with single-port robotics continues to grow. The value of retroperitoneal and extraperitoneal approaches is becoming harder to ignore, especially as innovation challenges us to step beyond our comfort zones

Over the years I’ve received thank you notes, contributions on my behalf,and gifts from patients, but I’ve never been mentioned in an obituary. Reading this brought tears to my eyes. I’ve never been more grateful to serve as a healer. northjersey.com/obituaries/pny…
