What a great pleasure to have a prestigious panel of authors and pioneers in the field, to contribute this important paper to @wjurol, about the history and development as well as the future directions of en bloc resection of bladder tumour. #EBRT #UroSoMe (1/n) Image
The 1st case of ERBT was reported by Kitamura in 1980; he used a polypectomy snare to excise the bladder tumour. In 2000, Ukai reported the basic steps of ERBT, which forms the foundation of the ERBT procedure. Special thanks to @JUrology to allow us to use the figures. (2/n)

Tumour size is the biggest challenge in ERBT. Several methods have been proposed: 1) use of lap instruments through the endoscope, 2) use of endobags, 3) resecting the exophytic part of tumour followed by en bloc resection of tumour base, i.e. modified ERBT technique (3/n) Image

Our paper on #Manels in Urology just published @EUplatinum. For those who do not believe #Manel is a major problem in urology, I sincerely encourage you to read this. (1/n) Free download link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1dBNY14kplnU…
In this study, we reviewed one year of conferences/webinars organized by major urological associations and societies. We investigated the overall proportion of #Manels, which was defined as the composition of all-male chairs/moderators plus all-male speakers. (2/n)
Among the 285 meeting sessions being included, 63.5% of them were #Manels! The mean percentages of male faculty were mostly >85% across different associations/societies, and >85% across the different subspecialties. (3/n)

Sharing the 10 Golden Rules for being a good mentor! Mentoring is a learning process and we should be more mindful about our mentoring approaches. These are the words of wisdoms by Nobel Laureate Robert Lefkowitz. @dukemedicine @dukebiochem @CUHKMedicine @insidehighered (1/n)
#1 Tailor mentoring to each individual’s needs. Every trainee is different. Every trainee has his/her own personality, strengths & weaknesses. Some need a daily pat on the shoulder; some need a kick in the pants. We need to find the specific approaches that work for them. (2/n)
#2 Encourage focus. As a mentor, we should provide guidance on the big picture. It is good to allow flexibility, but it is also easy to lose focus and get distracted by insignificant details. We should gently adjust the fine-tuning knob to keep the student in focus. (3/n)

The global survey investigating the psychological health of surgeons in the time of COVID-19 was finally published @AnnalsofSurgery! It is a combined effort from the whole #SoMe4Surgery community. @CUHKMedicine @NUSMedicine (1/n) journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
This is an international cross-surgical specialty survey. A total of 4283 participants from 101 countries responded within 15 DAYS. This will NEVER be successful without the strong support from the surgical community aka #SoMe4Surgery established by @juliomayol! (2/n)
The survey was developed using a modified Delphi method. There were 66 questions in total, including the DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) and IES-R (For post-traumatic stress disorder) scores. (3/n)

It is my great pleasure to guest edit this Special Issue on #AEEP!! Thank you all contributors in making this happen. #AEEP - It is a Quest for the Best!! #UroSoMe (1/n) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14390272/2…
Dr Reddy / @PeterGilling first gave an overview about the evolution of #AEEP. From the first attempt in #AEEP to #HoLEP, #ThuLEP, #BipolEP, #GreenLEP, etc. Understanding history also means learning from history! (2/n)
Prof. Oh gave an excellent review on the anatomical perspective of #AEEP. For #AEEP, understanding the surgical anatomy of the capsular plane, bladder neck, apical sphincteric area and blood vessel distribution is very important! (3/n)

I really believe Social Media Analytics can be Very Useful. Our team @CUHKMedicine just published an article at @ATSBlueEditor, trying to explore the relationship between public interest in surgical mask and the COVID-19 pandemic. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… (1/n)
We utilized @GoogleTrends to search for public interests in protective measures such as surgical mask, hand washing and social distancing. We were able to retrieve data regarding their Relative Search Volumes (RSV) from a global perspective. (2/n)
This is the heat map showing RSV of surgical mask over the course of COVID-19 pandemic. We noted a divergent pattern with early popularity particularly in Asia-Pacific countries. (3/n)
