Look who I bumped into!
With the legendary Jim Peabody ⁦Vattikuti Foundation⁩ #AUA24

Jim is the most patient mentor in #roboticsurgery that I know. Calm, cool and encouraging even in the toughest of situations.

No wonder he received the Menon Medal for achievement #NARUS24

Winner of the 2024 #BJUIAmericasPrize at #AUA24 is Hiten Patel for his role on the BJUI Paper 'A prostate biopsy risk calculator based on MRI: development and comparison of the PLUM and PBCG risk calculators'

So excited to see rock-🌟 Jethro Kwong present his #AI tool to predict ECE and inform nerve-sparing decision making during RARP.

😳Would you believe that their model outperforms surgeons in deciding when to do safely nerve sparing???

Amer. Urol. Assn. #AI podium session

This study from ⁦Rashid K. Sayyid⁩ at #AUA24 got me really worried 😧

Proton pump inhibitors increase the risk of #prostatecancer

Is this real?
Would you stop PPIs for reflux based on this??

Ignore the minds of your #ProstateCancer patients at your peril!

Key message at #AUA24 from Oliver Brunckhorst Kamran Ahmed King's Health Partners & colleagues from 8UK centres from King's MIND-U Group group

45% have mental health issues
8% suicidal

Risk factors =
Younger age
Prior psychiatric h/o

Results of a non-randomised, multi-centre, large study in >3k patients from ⁦Association Française d'Urologie - AFU⁩ comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) and HIFU (not focal) presented at #AUA24

The HIFU patients were older

HIFU was non-inferior to RP

Many firsts for #AI in Urology today at #AUA24

It was a privilege to moderate the first AI-focused Amer. Urol. Assn. plenary discussion on:

🧩what are the basics of AI
🧩what are its immediate applications in prostate cancer and bladder ca
🧩how do we evaluate AI with rigor
🧩how…

Fantastic plenary session on #AI in Urology at #AUA24 by Andrew J. Hung, MD Prof. Prokar Dasgupta OBE Joseph Liao, MD Geoffrey A. Sonn, MD

A real privilege to meet the person that sparked my interest in Urology and Robotics 🤖 Prof. Prokar Dasgupta OBE
A truly magnanimous man with a human spirit! #giantsofbritishurology

These two pictures are nearly 10 years apart! A lot has changed but not the kindness and humbleness of great Prof. Prokar Dasgupta OBE
