@MayoMitch@DrShakuriRad What is a no incision radical prostatectomy?
Multiport simple prostatectomy is significantly more invasive than HoLEP, but SP transvesical is catching up. Especially when you consider the low but possible risk of incontinence/urethral stricture with HoLEP
One of the best parts of this job is learning from the surgeons that taught the surgeons that taught me.
Wonderful lecture on the evolution of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy from visiting professor @DrewWagnermd

@moeltemamy@RossKrasnow@RoboDocX Not necessarily, I’ve also experienced persistent arterial bleeding from the hilar stump after stapling a previously embolized renal artery. I think the coils prevent the staples from completely sealing the artery and safer to oversew the stump.
@RoboDocX I’m usually not too stressed about bleeding during a partial. I typically have a 3-0 barbed suture for the inner layer renorrhaphy ready inside the body. If I can’t stop a vessel from bleeding during tumor resection with either bipolar or weck clip I’ll suture ligate it.
@akankshamehtamd @chrisfilson_uro @emory_urology Sad to see you leave Chris. You taught us so much about oncology, professionalism and how to educate our patients.
