In this episode Dr. Michael Stifelman of Hackensack Univesrity Medical Center discusses the introduction of the single port robotic platform into urologic surgery. He will review their early experience with SP and where they see this exciting technology fitting into the urologic minimally invasive surgery.

Minimally invasive techniques to NUx and specifically management of the bladder cuff have evolved over the last decade. Various techniques to managing the ureteral orifice and bladder cuff have been attempted including cystoscopic, laparoscopic and more recently robotic approaches. In this podcast I will review some of the historical approaches and end with my approach to managing the distal urete...

Britt Adamson (Princeton University), one of the pioneers of single-cell screening using CRISPR going back a few years to her postdoc in the Jonathan Weissman lab at UCSF, discusses technical tips, trends and applications of this extremely powerful approach in functional genomics, and highlights the value of a strong multidisciplinary team.

CRISPR Functional Genomics Miniseries, Episode #4: Omar Abuddayeh and Jonathan Gootenberg by

Podcast Summary: In this podcast, Dr. Michelle Jo Semins of the University of Pittsburgh discusses her insights into new developments in the field of stone management. Fluid management dictates your visualization, which coincides with outcomes. More reliable flow leads to better visualization, and better visualization leads to better outcomes and shorter operating time. Therefore, with proper mana...

Stanley Qi, Assistant Professor at Stanford University and Associate Editor with The CRISPR Journal, discusses the development and application of CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) in better understanding gene regulation and pathway relationships.

Podcast Summary: In this podcast, Dr. Ghani discusses laser physics and technical parameters for ureteroscopic lithotripsy. I cover the basics of the holmium laser system, characteristics of the HoYAG pulse waveform, peak power and peak power density, and implications for stone fragmentation and efficiency when considering pulse duration, pulse energy, pulse frequency, pulse modulation, total powe...

In this podcast, Cristina Ghirelli (Team Leader in Immuno Oncology R&D at Horizon Discovery) shares some of the latest tips in screening immune cells, particularly using pooled lentiviral T-cell screens. She also discussed the implications of this new screening application for immuno-oncology and autoimmunity research.

In this episode, physician-scientist Alejandro Chavez (Columbia University) discusses the development and features of the CRISPR activation platform, which is commercially available from Horizon. Chavez also offers his views on the breadth of applications of CRISPRa/CRISPRi technology for genetics research.

In this episode Dr. Miller will review the evidence in support of HoLEP as the new gold standard surgical treatment for BPH and LUTS. She will also critically examine the factors that have played a role in adoption of the technique both in the US and globally.

In this episode Dr. Wiseman will discuss decision making in the laser fragmentation of kidney stones. He will discuss choice of fiber size and look at how laser settings of energy, pulse duration, and frequency allow us to fragment and dust stones.

In this episode Dr. Somani discusses some of the new minimally invasive therapies for BPH including water vapor therapy, prostate urolift, aquablation, and prostate artery embolization (PAE). Apart from the technique itself, he also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these procedures.

Podcast Summary: In this episode Dr. Lingeman discusses insights on how he obtains access for percutaneous nephrolithotomy. His preference for obtaining percutaneous access is a fluoroscopic based triangulation technique.

Drs. Arthur Smith and Ralph Clayman founded Journal of Endourology in 1987, and continue in their role of Co-Editors-in-Chief today. In this interview conducted by Dr. Clayman, Dr. Smith shares the remarkable story of how he pioneered the field of videourology 30 years ago, what led to the launch of the journal Videourology, and how this groundbreaking new resource will enhance physician education...

: In this episode Dr. Lee will be discussing three tips from his experience of robot prostatectomy. The areas of focus during this discussion are the bladder neck dissection, the dissection of the seminal vesicle, and the dissection of the apex and urethra.

Discussing the future is more about opinion than knowledge hence one is never responsible for one’s pronouncements unless they prove to be an “I told you so” reality. Given this low risk proposition, Dr. Ralph V. Clayman - Distinguished Professor/Endowed Chair in Endourology & Dean–emeritus University of California, Irvine, and Co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Endourology - based on his vast exper...
