Buccal graft ureteroplasty makes ureteral recon simpler, even for long strictures. In this case, 5cm stricture, prior pyeloplasty. Supine retro approach. Full length case, 93 mins @societyGURS youtu.be/ibuYZiL_DkY?si… via @YouTube
Posterior urethral stenosis after ablative therapy complex. Ablation affects the tissue planes affected by ablation & precise excision is needed to maintain continence. full length SP robotic transvesical excision and primary anastomosis youtu.be/W4Z_RKVBu_o?si…
At meetings such as @SocietyGURS @AmerUrological, I frequently wear the @Apple Vision Pro while using my laptop. Ppl ask why the VR? I like having a large screen projection while being able to see my surroundings. Great for video editing & spreadsheets at work @nyulangone
NYU Reconstructive Urology Fellowship has opening for 2025-2026. High volume (600+ cases) in cutting edge innovative surgery. Contact me for details. [email protected]
What a great experience giving a talk and sharing the stage with some of the top minds in robotic reconstruction today @surgquest webinar! An attendee asked me what are good sources to learn about the basics and some advanced techniques, and these are my two comprehensive…
During reconstructive surgery, sometimes you want to make a sharp cut, but how to get the scalpel blade inside safely? Use a sheath--made from sputum trap tubing, closed on one end with suture. Idea inspired by discussion w @UABUroOnc @ZLeeGU during @surgquest webinar.
Ureteroenteric strictures can be performed in a straightforward fashion using SP robot w endoscopy to ID ureter/diversion. Narrated video @surgquest Bilateral ureteroenteric stricture after neobladder, full length uncut, 70 mins. surgquest.com/library/video/…
Great time hanging w @md_eun @CILR2025 if you missed it, here is the ChatGPT recreation
Debates on multiport vs single port surgeries @CILR2025 in Florence Italy. @lee_c_zhao and I debating on robotic reconstruction. Wish you were here. Let’s go!
Everyone is looking forward to learning SP reconstruction from experts @ZLeeGU @mdstifelman @SimoneCrivella2 @UABUroOnc @KirtishriM. June 19! Please register @surgquest @orsiacademy. AI video by Veo3
Great video on performing pyeloplasty without transection via Y to V advancement flap. Congrats to @UrologieParis Looking forward to seeing the SP retro version next!

Fantastic talk by @md_eun on buccal graft ureteroplasty. It’s a story of innovation, friendship, and ultimately great patient benefit. vumedi.com/video/aua2025-…
It’s been >decade since buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty was first performed robotically by @lee_c_zhao and @mdstifelman. Since then it’s now the standard approach for most ureteral strictures. I just presented this at the AUA. Now available on VuMedi. urldefense.com/v3/__https://w…$
I watch surgical videos to improve technique. Question is where to find content. Join @surgquest for high quality surgical education videos. Clip from my narrated SP retro pyeloplasty, non-transecting with mucosal advancement and Y-V flap. Full length uncut 24 mins.
Excellent thread on options for ureteral recon by @moeltemamy @CleClinicUro.

Honored to have illustrated for the “Complex Flaps and Grafts in Urology” section in the @AmerUrological Update Series 2025 working with @lee_c_zhao and @Uro_Jeff — both of whom I learned from during my away @NYUUrology last year. Time flies - thank you for including me!
Fantastic dinner! Looking forward to visiting @UICUrol
@lee_c_zhao is in town… @SimoneCrivella2 @ricautor @UICUrol
