Excited to welcome our third da Vinci SP robotic system at @HMHNewJersey @HUMCUrology and use it to perform my 2,202nd SP case! The most da Vinci SP systems and the highest volume of SP oncologic cases at any institution worldwide. Grateful for the tremendous support @mdstifelman

Central renal masses are readily approached retroperitoneally with the SP robotic system,whether anterior or posterior. I favor a medial/hilar approach first to define the vascular and collecting-system anatomy early, facilitating controlled tumor dissection.

Amazing how SP can expand options for our patients. A 3-cm retroperitoneal incision in the supine position allowed complete removal of a complex staghorn stone in a single setting—with only 45 minutes of operative time. This is what MIS innovation is about. @HUMCUrology

A privilege to have Dr. Menon join us @HUMCUrology and provide valuable guidance during “prostate de-escalation surgery” using the SP robot. This may preserve continence and erections without compromising cancer control in select patients, unlike focal therapy. @MMenonMD

STEP for BPH: effective for any prostate size or shape, even with an atonic bladder.Heals by primary intention—fast symptoms relief—with no early or delayed bleeding and no need for CBI. @HUMCUrology brings unmatched SP robotic experience.
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 d for episode 2, the laser strikes back.

Now, with mastery of the MIS approach, SP robotic RPLND can be performed completely retroperitoneally through a single 3 cm incision, next day home, making the case even stronger.
🔥@UrolOncol April issue! #TestisCancer
RPLND in stage II ECP NSGCT
1⃣ 85% cured by primary RPLND alone
2⃣Oncologically safe and effective when performed at high-volume centers
3⃣Results in less secondary therapy and reduces treatment burden

@uretericbud @DrSpratticus @dr_coops @Uroweb @BogdanaSchmidt @ChapinMD @wandering_gu @qdtrinh @jeshoag @SFreedlandMD @EUplatinum @UrologyUS SP isn’t here to replace MP completely, yet. But dismissing it as “just hype” ignores where it actually changes what we can offer patients—especially extraperitoneal and transvesical approaches.

Took a break from the SP robot to try the PUSEN 7.5Fr DISS™ ureteroscope with an 11/13 ClearEVAC suction access sheath on a 3.5cm partial staghorn. Excellent visualization-cleared it in <1hr. As this technology continues to improve,it might eventually put PCNL out of business.👀

Happening today @HMHNewJersey Just got our second SP robot, already in use. Did 6 cases today using both SP systems. With 2K+cases on our first, it’s exciting to see growth. 6 urologists & 2 ENT surgeons routinely using SP, with more coming. TY @mdstifelman for all the support.

Another great example of what the SP robot makes possible. 4.5 cm Rt renal mass + 2 cm para-aortic LN near Lt hilum (prior lymphoma)-managed seamlessly. Retro Rt LAA gave direct access to both, saving time, pain. Home <24 hrs. Mastery is within reach—just takes effort, vision. x.com/RoboticsUrolog…
