I was very lucky to be able to perform the first Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy using the latest da Vinci dV5 robotic system in Australia at @Epworth Freemason today. Thank you our staff, Device Technology reps, Epworth medical foundation for the generous supports.

Breaking the stigma around penile cancer. Coverage continues following our recent media release, with the Daily Mail sharing Wayne Earle’s story and advocacy. USANZ Member, @DixonWoon reinforces the importance of early detection and seeking medical advice. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Proud moment and HUGE news from #EAU26: #PRIMARY2 shows PSMA PET/CT can safely halve prostate biopsies in men with equivocal MRI, avoiding biopsy in 49% without missing cancer. uroweb.org/news/scan-that…

Discussion #EAU26 about the future of cystectomy neoadjuvant treatment and radiotherapy in muscle invasive bladder cancer. Things are changing rapidly. With pCR rates >50% for EVP many patients will want to keep their bladders. An era of ‘EVP 1st and ask questions later’ maybe a reality soon. Generation of EVP bladder sparing data is a priority. @Uroweb @EUplatinum

MRI role #PCascreening Current evidence by @mrsprostate - less frequent biopsy - more csPCa diagnosed - less ciPCa - systematic biopsy not needed #eau26

We have done 10 cases of 2-stage level 4 RCC cava thrombectomy for patients with or at risk of rare Budd-Chiari syndrome with very good results. Our work has been published in medical journals and now in Herald Sun. Happy Chinese new year to Mr. Yap. @USANZUrology @Uroweb

Would surgery add survival benefit to the systemic treatment in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer ? A new data highlights this; 👉Adding radical prostatectomy to best systemic therapy cut 5-yr cancer-specific mortality from 23% to 13% (HR 0.39, p=0.045). Early termination of study, OS benefit not statistically significant; 14% had major surgery complications. 👉Supports further efforts for local therapy + systemic treatment in oligomet prostate cancer. doi.org/10.1016/j.euru… @EUplatinum @OncoAlert @ONCOassist @APCCC_Lugano

We have completed our first Robotic Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection @Austin_Health. Patients potentially only need to stay overnight. Again we are thankful to have the Da Vinci Xi robotic system. Thank you Prof. Lawrentschuk’s proctoring and Prof. Damien Bolton’s support.
