Opinions are my own.

Davinci Single port robotic surgeon.
Open simple prostatectomy for BPH with a large bladder stone. Our county hospital is missing some equipment required for cystoscopic enucleation and we don’t have a robot, so the residents get to do it old school. Took out a nice classic looking jackstone. Good hemostasis at the end! #urology

Not all barbed sutures are created equal.

Here is a stratafix spiral loosening during a vesicourethral anastomosis. Stratafix symmetric would keep it close, but the barbs are extremely aggressive.

Important to either do a good Rocco or posterior urethral plate sutures. Need to keep tension!
