“A stented ureter is either an optimist or a liar.”
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. The full story 👇 leezhaomd.org/post/the-adjac…

10 vaginoplasties that I’ve assisted the one and only @pariserj with during June alone. The joy these patients experience knowing that some of their dysphoria is relieved is one of the many things that fills my tank. Happy #pridemonth and future uro’s come join @UMNUrology!!!

So proud of @mdewittfoy for publishing this. What a capstone publication to an awesome year with a superstar fellow.
Written about a patient at the MAGICAL haven that is @GilletteChildrn urology clinic for adults with disabilities. Thanks to @EricKleinMD for publishing this sappy piece even though it has no citations or data or mention of PSA :).

I think Dr Smith stands alone amongst us department Chairs in terms of casual eloquence in writing.
As Dr. Smith says, no one wants to hear from him again about the Covid pandemic. Yet here we are. We will continue to share our memos here. #COVID19 COVID-19 Update: Tuesday, 12/21/21 columbiasurgery.org/news/cov…

Had a relatively focal RPF patient who was living with stent for years. Dissected out with some difficulty, but on scope still looked stenotic so augmented with appendiceal onlay. Great surgery for select patients. Thanks for the paper. @SocietyGURS @md_eun @lee_c_zhao @DrMinJun
