Russell Wilson has never received a single MVP vote.

Our team published "Randomized Comparison of Techniques for Control of the Dorsal Venous Complex During Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy" in "BJU International". onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bj…

Here's an article published in the The Times in London yesterday about a robotic surgery case using telementoring to assist my colleagues in London. Thanks to my friends Ben Challacombe and Archie Fernando for this unique collaboration that saved this young man's life.

Society of Robotic Surgery Review: Recommendations Regarding the Risk of COVID‐19 Transmission During Minimally Invasive Surgery doximity.com/doc_news/v2/en… via @doximity

Today I led 45 of my colleagues to demand that @realDonaldTrump ensures any #coronavirus vaccine or treatment developed with U.S. taxpayer $ is accessible & affordable. That goal can’t be met if #BigPharma sets prices & determines distribution, putting profits over public health.

Never been more jealous of a curve in my life. Man they nailed it. Via Time. time.com/5809038/corona…

@roboticenthusi1 @SAGES_Updates Agree! We have robotic surgeons doing open procedures based on the SAGES statement. I think we should be cautious if we don't know, but this is expert opinion level evidence. Open surgery means longer LOS, comps and strain on health care system.

@JamesPorterMD Agree! Basic science and basic evidence should still be foundation of guidance!! #EvidenceOverImagination !! @SAGES_Updates society stated Vision is “reimagining surgical care”...fine IF true data supports your “REIMAGINING” efforts.

Statements like this are creating confusion in the US as well on lap/robotic surgery. There is no COVID plume without COVID in the blood. Does anybody know the data on COVID in blood? Our blood banks are taking donations from asymptomatic patients who could be infected. ???

@benchallacombe @RCSnews Apparently the RCS has back tracked. New statement dated 3/27. They changed point 4 on the recommendations and removed the questionable reference from Annals of Surgery. The misinformation from statements like 3/25 and others in the US, create confusion and impact patients.

Totally agree John. Why would a controlled lap/robotic op with suction through a specialist filter provide more #COVID19 exposure than a laparotomy? Plus reduces surgeons exposed, length of stay & chest complications at a time when these are key @RCSnews need to clarify.
