⁉️What happens when 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣surgeons across 220+ hospitals track the quality of their own #surgery?
RESECT is the BIGGEST #TURBT study ever - 15,000+ #bladdercancer patients worldwide.
@kmj_gallagher & @veerukasi discuss the results with @UroDocAsh on @urotoday 👇

It was great to be part of this amazing collaboration improving quality of TURBT in bladder cancer patients. @AUBMC_Official @AUB_Lebanon
1/ 📢 PUBLICATION ALERT!
#RESECT is one of @BURSTurology’s most ambitious studies, with a novel #trial design - a cluster RCT with 200+ sites with 15000+ patients, now in @EUplatinum ⚡
Can private, personal feedback and education about endoscopic surgery (TURBT) change surgeon behaviour and improve outcomes in bladder cancer? 🤔

The Changing Landscape of Urinary Diversion Post Cystectomy: A 15-Year Analysis of the NSQIP Database - #AuthorCommentary - New NSQIP analysis (2009–2023): Continent urinary diversions after radical cystectomy are declining nationwide—even among young, male, and otherwise ideal candidates. Despite surgical advances, incontinent diversion use is rising, reflecting shifting practice patterns, institutional norms, and patient preferences. #ReadMore on UroToday > bit.ly/4pYoqJi

🚨 RESECT Trial
Randomised Controlled Trial of Audit & Feedback in NMIBC Surgery
buff.ly/MwfEviw
📊 In 201 sites / 14,915 pts:
✅ Improved documentation of tumour features & resection completeness
⚠️ No improvement in detrusor muscle sampling, single-instillation chemo, or early recurrence
🧠 Possible control-arm learning effect attenuated clinical impact

#BladderCancer #OncoAlert #GUOncology – at Llanquihue, Los Lagos
RESECT: A Randomised Controlled Trial of Audit and Feedback in Non–muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Surgery
buff.ly/MwfEviw
Cluster randomised controlled trial evaluated whether audit, feedback, peer comparison, and education improved surgical performance after transurethral resection of bladder tumour for non–muscle-invasive #BladderCancer . Across 201 sites and 14,915 patients, the intervention significantly improved documentation of tumour features and resection completeness but did not increase detrusor muscle sampling, single-instillation chemotherapy use, or reduce early recurrence.
Improvements in the control arm may have attenuated intervention effects on clinical outcomes.

Check out this @urotoday highlight of our paper on the use of ChatGPT by patients after BPH Surgery.
Glad to share that our paper on the role of ChatGPT in answering patient queries following BPH surgeries was highlighted in @urotoday
