Ecstatic to share my children's picture book, "The ABC's of Anatomy" is now published @AmazonPub: amzn.to/3VwLOi8 for Kindle or paperback. So grateful for my co-authors Jordan & @LaneMoore28, & mentors in both medical humanities & anatomy. Sharing a sneak peek here!

Let’s start your journey for HPB experts! See you later at liver illustration session! #IHPBA

Thank you for the opportunity to contribute! Very cool project. IR 🤝 Urology

🚨 VOLGA: chemo-free durvalumab + enfortumab vedotin beat surgery alone in muscle-invasive #bladdercancer 🚨 @NEJM today 🧵1/2 👥 n=695, cisplatin-ineligible or declined MIBC 📊 Phase 3 RCT, 1:1:1 💊 Perioperative durva + EV vs durva + tremelimumab + EV vs radical cystectomy alone ⏱️ Estimates at 24 mo ✅ Durva + EV EFS 63.5% vs 45.1%, HR 0.51 (0.38-0.67), p<0.001 ✅ OS 78.4% vs 69.4%, HR 0.58 (0.40-0.83), p=0.003 ✅ Durva + treme + EV EFS HR 0.61 (0.47-0.80), but grade ≥3 AEs 79.5% vs 71.1% ⚠️ The 2 durvalumab arms were not compared head-to-head, so the CTLA-4 add is not clearly worth the added toxicity 🎯 Another cisplatin-free ADC + IO backbone for cisplatin-ineligible MIBC

Had the opportunity tonight speak about Transvesical radical prostatectomy at SP symposium @CleClinicUro 1. Patient had history of quadruple transplant, mesh, 4 ureters. Simultaneous cystoscopy proved valuable 2. Anastomosis can be done without tennis racket or other maneuvers

Urology In-Service Exam season is almost here! 📚 We’ve rounded up #BackTableUrology episodes covering study strategies and updated guidelines to help you prepare. 🎧 Listen to our Urology In-Service Exam Prep playlist: backtable.com/playlists/d2a1… #UroSoMe #Urology #Residency #MedEd #UrologyResidency

SWIU proudly congratulates Dr. E. Ann Gormley on her election as president of the AUA! Her election marks an historic milestone as she will become the first woman to serve as AUA president. @AmerUrological

Vacation nails ✅ @wearfigs rolled up and all. First vacation of PGY3 incoming! 💅🏼

🆕 UROLOGY UPDATE: The FDA has expanded approval of Anktiva + BCG to include BCG-unresponsive, high-grade papillary-only NMIBC. ‼️ HIGH-YIELD:
Anktiva = IL-15 receptor agonist
BCG = intravesical immunotherapy Goal: bladder preservation with high-risk disease

The view from the staff parking lot @MayoClinic this morning! Good morning! 🚀

Many of my followers are urologists, and I'm talking with some of them this week, so I thought they might appreciate one of my early 🧵on the novel ways that Foley catheters have been used *other than* for draining the bladder. 🧐

With all the discussion about radiation as a gold standard for intermediate-risk prostate cancer, I have one request: Please do not radiate a patient with a peak flow <10 mL/s or PVR >150 mL without having them evaluated by a non-oncologic urologist first. Multiple studies suggest a benefit to addressing significant bladder outlet obstruction before radiation. Treating obstruction afterward can be far more complicated—and sometimes you’ve lost the best window to intervene.

I’m so grateful to everyone who came out to support Boo’s Big Achoo and everyone who preordered/ordered, and everyone who sent messages —thank you all so much. I feel so loved and I hope the kiddos love Boo’s messages to tackle the cold season! @Mayoclinicpress @SmithPublicity

ERAS signed, sealed, and delivered✅ Hey #MedTwitter #UroSoMe! My name is Tae-Hee Kim, an MS4 from @OhioStateMed applying to Urology. I’m passionate about mentorship, research, high value care, and my 2 cats 🐈‍⬛🐈 Excited to connect on the interview trail! #Match2027

Oral boards prep hasn't appreciably changed in decades, so I built MockUro, an AI examiner that walks you through ~250 canonical urology cases in Socratic Q&A format, grades your free-form answers across key domains, and adapts your study plan to your weak spots 🧵

Reconstructive urology is broad. A @SocietyGURS fellowship built on urethroplasty and AUS is a different year from one built on gender-affirming surgery or ureteral reconstruction. A resident asked me which program focuses on what. I didn't have a good answer. This is my attempt at one.

Mark Your Calendar! Join us for the Mayo Clinic Urology Review 2028, at the Ritz-Carlton Maui in Kapalua, Hawaii! This course provides urologists with a comprehensive update in the field of clinical urology! February 7- 11, 2028 #MayoUroHawaii28 #MedEd mayocl.in/4Agc7OP

Preoperative illustration will make you a legend! Come on, young surgeons! #IHPBA ihpbacongress.org/registrati…

Transfer center call: Patient presented with E. coli bacteremia and was found to have a ureteral stent extending from her bladder through the IVC directly into her Right Atrium. What would you do?

For those doubting that the Modifier 25 fight will affect urology, look at the ACS data. Urology is one of the most affected specialties: ~597,000 urologic procedures were performed with a same-day E/M. Common affected codes include cystoscopy, bladder irrigation/instillation and Foley placement. Can anyone say with a straight face that placing a Foley means you did 50% less E/M work? Why should putting in a catheter diminish the separately identifiable evaluation you performed? Yet the AUA has still not publicly taken a stance. Regardless, urologists can speak for themselves.

Important change in the 2026 @AmerUrological NMIBC Guidelines: all high-grade Ta tumors are now classified as high-risk. This reduces a long-standing source of heterogeneity in the intermediate-risk group and should improve risk-appropriate treatment for patients, while creating cleaner, more meaningful populations for clinical trials. Great to see the evidence translate into practice. @IBCG_BladderCA @UrogerliMD @pjhensley11 @AmirHorowitz @mouwlab @spsutkaMD @shilpaonc @AndreaNecchi @LAUrology_NL @karima_oualla @PGrivasMDPhD @marigfern @SpiessPhilippe @UroCancerMD
