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)
We then presented step-by-step descriptions of four #AEEP procedures. Prof. Cho (@kmoretry) first explained about #BipoLEP. Instruments that you may need, precise descriptions of each step... (4/n)
@FCAFigueiredo / @scoffonecesare wrote a masterpiece on #HoLEP! They provided detailed descriptions about the problem-based modifications of #HoLEP. Two-lobe technique / En-bloc / Totally En-bloc techniques… Great paper! (5/n)
#ThuLEP from the Inventors’ Perspective by @trwherrmann!! Excellent overview on the evolution and variations of the technique. Instructional video and surgical atlas are available - Let’s learn from the Master! (6/n)
Next up - #GreenLEP! @enrique_rijo / @VMisrai explained the technical aspects, complications, advantages & disadvantages, tips and tricks, and provided a visual step by step guide in performing #GreenLEP! (7/n)
After the step-by-step descriptions of each technique, we then reviewed the treatment outcomes of #AEEP. First is a meta-analysis on the efficacy of #AEEP. In essence, #AEEP is superior to #TURP, and at least equivalent to #OP! (8/n)
Next is a Key Question in #AEEP. How can we optimize urinary continence in patients undergoing #AEEP? From patient selection and surgical technique for prevention, to treatment of post-AEEP urinary incontinence. (9/n)
How about Sexual Outcomes after #AEEP? Erectile, ejaculatory and orgasmic functions are all important aspects to consider. Ejaculatory-sparing technique may be something that we can consider? (10/n)
How does the complications of #AEEP compare with TURP and OP? Any differences between the different modalities of #AEEP? Read this nice review article.. (11/n)
Is #AEEP the Next Gold Standard? Debate between @drtevaho vs @wroclawski_uro on this controversial topic! Who do you vote for?☺ (12/n)
Surgical training is extremely important for the dissemination and implementation of #AEEP.. Case selection, mentorship, training programme, simulation and training models.. My honour to write up this paper on behalf of @AUSTEG1! (13/n)
So… Is #AEEP the way to go? @gudaruk conducted a knowledge, attitudes and practices survey to understand the barriers of adopting #AEEP. These obstacles must be overcome in order to enhance the generalizability of the procedure. (14/n)
Last but not least, I would like to thank all authors for the contribution. This is a massive conjoint effort (>1 year) and I think this special issue is an important work in the field of #AEEP. Please enjoy! (15/15) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14390272/c…

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)

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)
