Annual review: 2024 was productive. ~600 cases, ⬇️urethroplasty (due to Optilume), ⬆️ureter recon, ⬆️robot, πŸ“ˆinnovation. Lucky to be in the right place @nyulangone.bsky.social, privileged to train residents, fellows, colleagues, & grateful for the trust patients have placed on me. Happy New Year!

>11 years ago, Michael Stifelman & I performed 1st robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty. Dan Eun joined us after learning of the technique and formed #CORRUS. Here is our decade long follow up: n=163, 92% success.

Robotic ileal conduit, no stents, uncut
YouTube video by Lee C. Zhao MD Robotic ileal conduit, no stents, uncut
