I have been doing this long enough to remember the narrative that enucleation is dead, learning curve is too steep , few residency training programs, and morcellator is a limited factor. A new wave is coming stay tuned .
Surgeons at #AUA26 should be watching this space carefully.
That's a 100% autonomous robot from @Figure_robot
Yes the human "won" in this head to head.
But the robot doesn't get carpal tunnel, lateral epicondylitis. It doesn't get tired, lose concentration, take pee brakes, vacations, complain, or need sleep.
Still -> does this extrapolate to completely autonomous surgery? In my personal opinion, no.
#DUST26 will be in Detroit this year. Aug 9-11.
This time it’s a think tank meeting between industry and 30+ faculty. Interested Industry contact me!
Keynote speaker Dr Stoller
Detroit is @wallpapermag design city of the year! This will be a great meeting.
Thank you to the awesome faculty taking part ! @willrobe1@caseydauw@wilsonsui3@UMichUrology@dustcme
@squarrier Thank you for highlighting our work!
Real-world claims data gives us great signals based on codes, but we would need more studies with more objective/subjective outcomes collected to validate these results too!
Dr Chen yueh when presenting their results on augmenting RIRS with Apple vision pro. Interesting idea. And really cool video showing surgeon POV #AUA26
Fan of FANS? So many options these days. Thanks to @richardwolfusa for the opportunity to speak on the ergonomic advantages of the Wolf D-URS hybrid scope in the expanding world of suction sheaths for kidney stone treatment
