A very sad day learning that a giant in urology passed, Donald G. Skinner MD His impact was profound. His commitment to surgical excellence was only matched by his devotion to pt care and teaching. Simply the best mentor, colleague and friend RIP Boss @UroOnc @AmerUrological

Such a privilege to take care of this community. @RoyalColumbian Royal Columbian Hospital - Join our team in New Westminster, B.C., Canad... youtu.be/irmw9dY1X10?si… via @YouTube

Amazing progress with robotics and real time image recognition software using AI in Urology #EAU25 #renalarterycanthidefromAI

$65M raised for urologic research @UBCUrology @VanProstateCtr - truly remarkable! To quote the lead fundraiser @larrygoldenberg "the best is yet to come!"

Now published in @UrologyPractice by @UrologyMSK @WesleyYipMD @NathanCWongMD @lucasmnnogueira et al.: Changes in the perioperative management and outcomes of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma undergoing radical nephroureterectomy at MSK auajournals.org/doi/10.1097/UP…

S1605 tested 12 months of atezolizumab in 74 patients with BCG unresponsive CIS±Ta/T1 and 55 patients with Ta/T1. There are many similarities with other trials in this space that were all designed based on early discussions between AUA/SUO/FDA – but also some key differences 1/n

@MTDawidek @pcvblack @UBCUrology @UrologyMSK @arihakimi Congrats Mark! You are a skilled surgeon and kind person. Looking forward to all the great things you with do at @UrologyMSK

As @pcvblack might say on completing one step of the case and preparing to move to the next - "okie-dokie"! Eternally grateful for inspiring mentors and co-residents at @UBCUrology. Brimming with excitement and as I start urologic oncology fellowship at @UrologyMSK @arihakimi .

Fraser Health emergency room wait times are now online. ow.ly/ORb750OAZgF Have a life- or limb-threatening issue? Go to your nearest emergency room or call 9-1-1.

That's a wrap @UBCUrology Lorne Sullivan Research Symposium! Great to work with residents Alec Mitchell and Jono Suderman assessing readability in stone/SRM resources, and MSI @saffar_moe finding regional differences in kidney stone risk factors @VanProstateCtr

Public health would dramatically improve if Gleason 6 (grade group 1) wasn’t called cancer. Agree or disagree?

Before you leave Chicago, come check out our educational session on oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma tomorrow (Tuesday) at 945 CDT in E451 and online ! @DrKarieRuncie @Raquib_Hannan #ASCO23 #ASCO2023

Honoured to discuss the development of our robotic surgery program at @RoyalColumbian at the Chairman’s Circle. Thank you for the invitation and to all of the donors! Looking forward to bringing state-of-the-art care to patients throughout @Fraserhealth

Accelerated approval for EV+pembrolizumab- ORR Cohorts A &K of 68%! Potentially transformative for advanced urothelial ca- all eyes now on EV-302. Kudos to an amazing study team! @MSKCancerCenter @MattMilowsky @DrChrisHoimes @DanielPetrylak @TomFlaigMD bit.ly/3zvmvnI

A young colleague, who had trained with us for awhile, recently diagnosed with metastatic cancer. From him: “Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it.  You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back” -H.McKay

@shawndason I’m excited that there is now competition in the market place to deliver robotic surgery to help more patients 🤖

@NathanCWongMD Yeah Nathan give us the dislikes or are you team Hugo all the way 😂

Trialing the new Medtronic HUGO robotic surgical system in the lab (robotic prostatectomy). Portable and scalable platform compatible to the Da Vinci. Ps. Put on your 3D glasses to see the screen clearly! 🤓

@shawndason I like the open concept of the console screen allowing for little neck strain as your head is always looking forward (not down), maneuverability/portability of the individual arms (each are separate), and easy locking mechanism to the ports with compact instruments 👏👏👏

@NathanCWongMD What did you like/dislike about it compared to Xi?
