That beautiful moment when you are digging the ureter out of dense scar tissue on top of the iliac vessels waiting for sudden bleeding and then....the veil lifts and all is well. Isn't surgery awesome? SP retroperitoneoscopic ureteroneocystostomy, duplicated ureter, low anterior access (#SP).

Interested in why a single site laparoscopic surgeon (>2k LESS Nxs) might find #SP highly valuable for selected radical and simple nephrectomy cases? A topic that doesn't get much bandwidth but should! Join me alongside an amazing faculty for the 2024 SP Marathon.

A simple shift of instrument locations -> left and right pedical/NVB dissection can really improve exposure during extravesical #SP RALP. No need to flip camera above/below & struggle. Mileage may vary but this simple trick was a game changer. (Green = direction of retraction. #roboticsurgery

Great experience spending time with colleagues and the residents in Kansas City exploring #SP transvesical surgery. Discovered the OR is a lot colder than in Texas this time of year…

Ex vivo ureteroscopy and stone extraction after single site laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. A versatile technique to spare the donor a second endoscopic procedure. Lowers the risk of complicated management in the future for transplanted asymptomatic small renal stones.

Strength of #SP LAA retro access is the ability to easily access both posterior and anterior tumors. Here's a side by side showing R posterior and L anterior tumor exposure and resection - same access location. Same access for all tumors = greater efficiency.
