While in town for the #WCET25 @Endo_Society meeting, @DerekLomas and I had to stop by @MayoUrology Arizona and observe @dfrendl perform two IRE cases. A true tri-site collaboration. Thankful for this opportunity.

Fantastic to see a full house at the @FocalSociety session with @RSanchez_Salas leading the way #AUA25 🇺🇸
We had a fantastic joint #IPFTSMasterclass2025 in London two weeks ago - here is to ongoing trans-Atlantic collaboration!

@SBoorjian highlights updates to AUA Microhematuria guidelines at #AUA2025 for INTERMEDIATE Risk group
-Women cannot be high risk based on age only
-Should RECOMMEND Cysto + US
-May offer urine cytology/tumor markers to help decide on cysto
-Persistent microhematuria →cysto
Compelling arguments by @LondonProstate1 at the Focal Therapy crossfire debate at #AUA2025
-Treatment side effects are reduced 5-10 fold
-Iso-effective to radical therapy at 5-10 year
-Focal therapy should be offered as a standard option for (eligible) intermediate patients
Thanks @LondonProstate1 and @IP_London for another fantastic meeting! So great to connect with old friends and make new ones.
Thank you for engaging with us this year at the first joint #IPFTSmasterclass - see you in London in 2026! @FocalSociety

🤔 Can it estimate bladder tumor size?
🔢 Assist with tasks like counting instruments?
👩🏻⚕️Assess surgical skills, incorporate into education
😱 Will robots replace surgeons??!
Tip of the iceberg!

Had a great time at the @MNUrological fall meeting in Duluth. It was great to connect with colleagues from across the state, including several @MayoUrology alums. After my talk, it was great to take in the views as we cruised on Lake Superior and through Duluth Harbor.
Today’s @MNUrological meeting had it all!
⚡️ Great talk about focal therapy for prostate cancer from @DerekLomas
👨⚕️ Catching up with @drvandersteen
🍁 Fall colors (and a boat ride!) in Duluth Harbor

Excellent HoLEP talk by @MayoUrology alum @DrIlyaSobol1 at #FOCAL2023! In addition to the great talks so far on focal therapy, the BPH talks have been excellent this morning. Couldn’t be there in person this year, but thoroughly enjoying the livestream! @therapy_focal
Thanks @dfrendl for hosting me at @MayoClinic Arizona this morning while I’m in town for #NCSAUS23! Great #NanoKnife IRE case this morning! @MayoUrology
One of the best parts about going to conferences is getting to see your mentors! Great to see Prof. Moore @mrsprostate at the @FocalSociety meeting!
