17 HoLEPs last week, a new record for me, many after prior therapies including this case a few years after Aquablation. Until it's been enucleated it hasn't been enucleated! #HoLEP

Thrilled to lead the first U.S. cases with the @BostonSci Asurys Fluid Management System! 🚀
In surgery, eliminating variation is key to safety and efficiency. Automated fluid management optimizes focus to the task at hand.
Takeaways:
🔹 FANS & LithoVue Elite: Next-level stone clearance and visualization. On-demand flush = multiple fragments follow the scope out at once with less chasing.
🔹 HoLEP: Steady-state surgical field. No more manual bag height adjustments.
🔹 Efficiency: Easy setup for the OR team and fluid bag change alerts.
Standardizing the environment leads to better outcomes - Asurys is leading the way. #Urology#HoLEP#KidneyStones#BostonScientific#Asurys#Endourology
Had an incredible visit with @RahulMehan1 today.
Different surgeons. Different techniques. Same mission.
From Aquablation to HoLEP, we work together-not against each other-to bring the best technology to men struggling to urinate.
Because it's not about the tool... it's about the outcome.
Stay tuned for episode 2, the laser strikes back.

I read the 420-page SIU-ICUD 2026 Consultation on Male LUTS carefully. It deserves an equally careful critical reading.
Full disclosure: 10,000 HoLEP, 600 urologists trained, commercial ties with HoLEP manufacturers. I'm not neutral — but neither is this document.
Key findings:
→ Every sponsor's product has a dedicated chapter. PROCEPT funds the document; the WATER trial PI co-chairs the Aquablation committee.
→ 4 corporate PROCEPT images appear as "scientific figures." No other procedure gets this.
→ HoLEP: Level I, Grade A — restricted to >80 mL with NO justification. EAU imposes no such limit.
→ Aquablation: Level II, Grade B — gets a procedural video. HoLEP gets none.
→ Zero individual COI declarations in 420 pages.

Looking forward to speaking with the LatAm urology community about my experience transitioning from TURP to HoLEP and the evidence to support this switch. Few know I'm also fluent in Spanish, I've been privileged to engage with Spanish speaking urologists at past AUA hands on HoLEP courses, and I'm honored to expand access and insight into this wonderful procedure.

If you have a minute, a very insightful read from my friend @DrIlyaSobol1 on how to navigate through tough times in a private practice while still doing the right things for patients, business and yourself.

It may have been 5 degrees outside in Fargo but Dr. Wanzek was on fire getting started with HoLEP. 6 cases over 2 days all successfully passed a same day void trial and went home catheter free!
Privileged to be apart of his start, thanks to Boston Scientific and Wolf Medical for supporting! @bsc_urology@RichardWolfGmbH
Ended my second full year in practice with 379 HoLEPs, 44 in December alone. It's amazing what this surgery can do for patients and I can't wait to see what the future has in store!
HoLEP is heating up in the northwest, honored to host Dr. Adam Daily & Dr. Will Fuller from Virginia Mason University in Seattle for a great day of cases. They'll be laying Foleys to rest and delivering the best in no time. Thanks @bostonsci Urology for supporting!
