@MarcoKoschier@Christenfuchs Germans, you make very good cars and very tasty beer. But warfare is clearly not your strongest suit. Save your energy for something more productive.
1890, Kyiv: Sapezhko takes lining from inside a patient’s cheek and uses it to reconstruct a damaged urethra.
It works. Then the idea vanishes for decades.
Why?
The “adjacent possible” wasn’t ready.
Today buccal mucosa grafts + robotic allows complex ureteral reconstruction with no bowel harvest, no lifelong stents, excellent results.
I was lucky to help pioneer the robotic version @nyulangone w @mdstifelman. & link with @md_eun@ZLeeGU to validate the technique.
This is how real surgical innovation works: not leaps of faith, but just walking through doors as they slowly open.
