Congrats. As I like to say “if not reproducible it does not matter how good an individual results are, still not a good operation” we are seeing this technique being reproduced around the world! ? Less learning curve than holep

Not everyday you get a shout out from the CEO of the largest surgical robotics company in the world. Had to share! IRIS has been extremely helpful for complex partials and⁦ should be a useful too for those starting out as well. Thank you @IntuitiveSurg

First time used the #SP access port, easy to use, can reduce $ compare to gel port and most importantly can help to eliminate plus one for those who use it. As always ⁦ @HackensackUMC ⁩ leader in use of new technology, ⁦⁦ @mdstifelman ⁩. ⁦ @RUCgroup ⁩. Pt consent
