@VUMCurology @nkavoussi Nick is an absolute superstar and one of the best people and surgeons that I know. We knew as a fellow at VUMC and with his work at VISE and were fortunate to keep him at VUMC. Already carving an impressive line on the slope of academic urology and will be a force for decades.

@urogeek @JenniferARegala Dave. Now that you have that beauty, can I have your nice lululemon one that you wear most days ?

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

@urogeek @VUMCurology Thanks Dave. VUMC Urology plays great “team” ball and has allowed @VirtuosoSurg to get to this point. Appreciate AUA and the leadership to make Innovation Nexus a great success. Grateful for the support and looking forward to next steps.

Honored to be in this groundbreaking AUA event. “Shark tank”style judging commented Virtuoso Surgical pitch / tech as favorite. Check out this revolutionary surgical robot. Poised to change rigid endoscopy and improve outcomes. Not FDA approved or for sale.

American Urological Association Announces Innovation Nexus Showcase Selections https://t.co/Rr5w9YyNUm

VIRTUOSO SURGICAL to be featured as one of 10 super select companies at the AUA Innovation Nexus ... which is focused on the "best" "most exciting" next products in Urology !!

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

SESAUA 2023 Amelia Island. Looking forward to seeing our attendees and guests soon. Executive Committee work starts today….a little sun to start the day !

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

@drjnwarner @drjkaouk Have seen your work and is awesome ! Hope what we are doing can help translate advanced endoscopic skills like yours to many more and add more complex procedures to the mix.

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

@Dr_KevinZorn @bsc_urology @DrDeanElterman @RahulMehan1 @RRGonzalezMD So this was a “greenLEP”?

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

The potential of Virtuoso platform to change surgery is vast !!

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

@drjkaouk Imagine if we could do it all endoscopic and bring down mucosa so no abdominal incision. Probably needs better tools and a truly endoscopic robot. Should we work on at Virtuoso Surgical ?

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

Kudos. I’ve often wondered if this was feasible. Opens up some interesting possibilities!

[Rafael Sanchez-Salas @RSanchez_Salas]

Thinking outside the box: Moving forward

@aghazimd @RoboUroMD @GMBadalato @lindsayahampson @urojdr Another amazing move to improve our specialty by Ahmed Ghazi. Proud to count you as my my friend, colleague, and collaborator. Excited to see your work at JHU with an exceptional team and more support.

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

@AustenSlade Yes I remember the resident noting that in a similar case we did it was like “Vesuvius” of pus. Amazing what the human body can wall off and survive.

[S. Duke Herrell, MD @RoboDuke1]

Big news as urology flexible robotic Endo lane opens with the great work of Jaime Landman and Mihir Desai. Kudos also to J&J/Auris (Pete Schulam& Fred Moll). Excited for them and tech as these “Zero to One” moments take tremendous work + change fields and practice! Congrats team!

[Jaime Landman @jaimelandmanuci]

Delighted to announce that the @UCI_Urology @UCIrvineHealth team completed the world's first robotic-assisted removal of kidney stones using @Ethicon MONARCH™ Platform for Urology. Special thanks to @DrMihirDesai for collaborating.

Fletcher Spaght, Inc. deep dived into where surgical robotics companies are aiming for or competing. Virtuoso Surgical & unique proprietary approach to robotizing and improving rigid endoscopic surgery cited w open lane. General lane = flexible bronch and GI. Rigid=blue ocean !!
