    It is with great sorrow That I post this dutiful tribute to the 131 Italian doctors already died in the war against #Covid_19 ... regardless their safety has not always been a priority for NHS managers, they have alwAys put #patientsfirst #RIP brave colleagues šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ is #proudofyou

    #enbloc resection of #NMIBC by means of #thulium laser by #QUANTA ... precise resection control avoiding damages to ureteral Origice in a completely bloodless field. #bladder #cancer

    Sometime older open surgeons r still necessary šŸ˜‰ a #RALP could not b done because of multiple adherences due to previous peritonitis: so young robotic colleagues gave up & the old 1 performed it open What a fun! Still able šŸ’ŖšŸ»! #notonlystones don’t worry I still love #endourology

    I’m strongly convinced that sometimes more (aggressive) is less (invasive) .. in presence of a big #staghorn #renalstone only doing such aggressive #PCNL u can offer good clearance with acceptable complication rate. having a great team as I luckly have @ #ETCE is also crucial!

    U know what ?!? When I have to destroy such a beautiful #renalstone….. I feel a bit guilty! šŸ˜‚ isn’t that awesome?!? 🤫#ilovestones #ETCE

    The best success 4 #endourologist:dissolving a big stone in 3 mos of alcalinisation in an octogenarian pt already scheduled for #PCNL elsewhere Always check HU on CT: all stones r white but below 500HU they r #uratic and dissolution is possibile & must b attempted before surgery!

    Do u think u’d have seen the orifice of this #calycealdiverticulum without #bluespritztech?!? I don’t! 1) identify diverticulum on CT 2) #FURS: if orifice not visible, inject dye+blueāž”ļøevacuate & wait 3) look for blue dropping out 4)incise the mucosa & remove stones! #ETCE

    Have u ever seen scaring smoke in #TFL lasertripsy #MINIPERC? This isn’t water vapor due 2 ā¬†ļø temperature but smoke due 2 rupture of disulfide bond #cystine stone with typical smell.Bottomline: #TFL laser not strong enough in #miniperc where my choice is still highpower #holmium!

    Everything u wanted 2 know but u were afraid 2 ask about #supine #PCNL! Watch our video paper @urogoldjournal video journal doi.org/10.1016/j.urol… with open access to know all tips to ease the switching from prone #pcnl! big thank @mariobasulto & my team 4 the effort! #pronexit

    2day effective dusting of 1.3cm HU 1400 #calciumoxalate monoH #renalstone with my #QUANTA 100w holmium laser set at 0.4J 60Hz with #VIRTUALBASKET tech! this is the challenge: understanding whether #THULIUMFIBER is really superior to #HOLMIUM in order to get the best dusting!

    Never trust a #nephroStomy placed by a #radiologist in emergency in view of a #PCNL! Always check it first: Do not use it to do your tract... and re-puncture the kidney! bottom line... kidney puncture is not #radiologists business but #urologists one!

    After this aggressive 4 accesses #supinePCNL 4 #staghorn I can say that I feel fully established in the new hospital @SanRaffaeleMI: of course this is possible thanks to my #ETCE team ... new hospital but same team & same passion for #endourology teamwork is key to succeed!

    When #UTUC is only within intramural #ureter & complete eradication is achievable, deep #TUR is the way 2 go: some experience is required but complete ureteral detachment is really difficult even in deepest resections. Whichever laser ablation would imply higher risk of ureteral
