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)
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)

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)
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)
Very proud of my student @VinsonChan who has performed a systematic review on COVID-19 and Urology. I think it does contain important information that every urologist should know. It was just published at @wjurol, and you can find the paper here :) link.springer.com/article/10.100… (1/n)
We conducted a literature search up to 8th April, and 25 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. We summarized the data regarding urinary symptoms, acute kidney injury, viral RNA in urine and stool specimens, and clinical outcomes of renal transplant patients. (2/n)

Is intravesical instillation for Ca bladder affected at your centre in the pandemic of Covid-19? If so, I’d like to invite you to read this letter published @wjurol! It’s a humble sharing of thoughts/experiences with @MRoupret@DrShariat@trwherrmann (1/n) ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Today is a big day for #UroSoMe and we wish to take this opportunity to recap what we have done in the past and we are planning to do in the future. This is an amazing story which would never be successful without your support. (1/n)
The idea of #UroSoMe came up in late 2018 and we gathered a group of urologists who are very committed to this. It is not easy to build up #UroSoMe, and it is even more difficult to sustain it. We share a common vision and that is the major reason that keeps #UroSoMe going..(2/n)
