Rare privilege this week: performed the inaugural case on the new Da Vinci Xi at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad โ a robotic ureteric reimplant in a redo patient.
Full circle moment: my father, @DrKandarp_Uro , inaugurated Sterling's first robot years ago.
Ureteric avulsion is one of the most challenging situation that a urologist can face.
Also, when faced with such a situation, a good reconstruction is a must : sharing a link of robotic Ileal replacement on the left side using a single dock .

The session witnessed active participation and meaningful interaction, making it a valuable and informative experience for all attendees.
@adityaparikh_
The talk will be delivered by Dr. Aditya Parikh, a distinguished Uro-oncologist and Robotic Surgeon at Shyam Speciality Hospital, Ahmedabad. With advanced fellowship training from University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and MPUH,
MUST READ for urologist and radonc!
Real world data on late GU toxicity after radiotherapy for prostate cancer
Short term is underestimation of the real burden for the patient. Important when counselling patients for decision making.

What a pleasure Professor Traxer to have had your expertise in demonstrating challenging cases and pushing the boundaries forward for at AIE 2025 @DrKandarp_Uro
BN179: INDIA, Dec.19th-2025 very privileged to perform the very first Clinical evaluation of the new TFL Laser of IPG Medical : ยซThe TFL LUROS 60sย ยป. With new STONE SENSE- MRP (Minimal Retropulsion pulse) and New Fragmentation Pulse modulation: 20 to 30 J and 1Hz for kidney stone

โCan surgery still matter in metastatic prostate cancer?โ ๐ฉบ
๐ฅ RAMPP trial says maybe yes - even in low-volume mHSPC.
๐งช Design:
De novo low-volume mHSPC (โค5 bone mets ยฑ nodes)
๐ฅ Fit for RP + systemic therapy (ADT ยฑ ARPI)
๐ Radical prostatectomy (RP) + BST vs BST alone
๐ฏ Primary: Cancer-specific mortality (CSM)
๐ Results (~5 yrs):
โข๐ฉธ CSM: 13% vs 23% โ HR 0.39, p=0.045 โ
โข๐งญ Progression: 59% vs 60% (NS)
โข๐ OS: 81% vs 74% (p=0.13)
โขโ๏ธ Complications โฅ G3: 14%, no peri-op deaths
๐ฌ Takeaway:
RP added to BST reduced CSM in low-volume mHSPC โ mirroring the STAMPEDE RT signal ๐
But OS gain unproven โ discuss in MDT before adopting.
