A great long weekend at the 2026 SMSNA Fall Scientific Meeting in Orlando.

I was honored to moderate an e-poster session and especially enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm and thoughtful work of the residents and medical students. It was also wonderful reconnecting with friends and colleagues—including a resident I’ve had the privilege of knowing since she was a medical student.

Already looking forward to San Diego next year!

Should a urologist talk about a pe**le implant on your very first appointment? 🩺
It might sound extreme, but according to American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines, patients should be educated on all treatment options—including surgical solutions—from day one.
While oral medications like Vi**ra or Cialis are usually where most men begin due to ease of use, the old “treatment ladder” is officially out. Some men can’t take pills due to nitrate interactions, while others simply dislike intermediate options like injections or vacuum devices.
The worst-case scenario is a man trying a pill, feeling like it failed, and walking away thinking he’s completely out of options. Good education at the first visit ensures you always know what’s possible.

Advanced prostate cancer has been transformed since I started med school in 06

08/16/2026

20 years ago, options for advanced prostate cancer were extremely limited. Once a patient stopped responding to standard androgen deprivation, survival windows were narrow.
Fast forward to today, and the shift in how we manage metastatic disease is one of the most transformative success stories in modern urology.
By understanding how prostate cancer utilizes residual hormones, shifting treatments like Enzalutamide and Abiraterone earlier into the castration-sensitive setting, and introducing triplet therapies alongside targeted PARP inhibitors, we’ve significantly extended both survival and quality of life.
Here is a quick look back at how far clinical evidence has brought us—and why the future of personalized urologic oncology continues to advance.

Huge changes in how we treat BPH! 🚨 The updated AUA guidelines reflect a major shift in clinical practice—moving away from mandatory lifelong medications and taking a much more personalized approach.
Here are the 4 big takeaways every clinician and patient should know:
1️⃣ No medication failure required before considering a procedure.
2️⃣ Not all urinary symptoms stem from obstruction—always screen for OAB.
3️⃣ Anatomy dictates the approach—cystoscopy & volume metrics matter.
4️⃣ Patient goals come first—balancing efficacy, durability, and sexual function.
Watch the full breakdown to see how these updates impact patient care! 🩺💡

What actually happens when a kidney suffers blunt trauma? 🩸 In this breakdown, we cover:
• Common mechanisms of injury (car accidents, falls, direct force)
• Physical signs like flank hematomas and hematuria
• When imaging (CT with contrast) is necessary
• How renal injuries are graded based on depth and vascular involvement
• Why conservative (non-surgical) management is often the first choice

Can a testicle actually fracture? 😳”

It’s not a bone, but it CAN rupture. 💥
When severe blunt force hits the scrotum—from a baseball, bicycle handlebars, or a direct blow—it can tear the tunica albuginea (the tough outer shell holding the testicle together).
Key clinical takeaways for scrotal trauma:
Massive Swelling & Pain: Severe inflammation often hides normal anatomical structures on physical exam.
Ultrasound Limits: Imaging isn’t 100% foolproof. Look for tunica disruption or hematoceles, but high clinical suspicion always trumps an inconclusive scan.
The Golden Window: Surgical exploration within 48 to 72 hours yields an 80–90% salvage rate. Delaying increases the risk of chronic pain and testicular loss.
When mechanism and symptoms line up, trust the clinical picture and consult urology early. 🩺
