Author Response On: Impact of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Professional Decision Making among Urology Applicants We engage in research for many reasons, but this manuscript held significant personal interest for me. Amid the rigors of residency training, I experienced the loss of a very desired pregnancy. When the Dobbs’ decision leaked in May 2022, I was an attending. One of my first thoughts was how differently my miscarriage experience could have been as a resident. In 2019, I had the financial resources to travel out-of-state if needed, but I was allowed to recover in my own home. I was able to receive the necessary medical care with speed and dignity.

Re: Predictors of Excellent Urology Residents at the Time of the Urology Match We read the article by Thompson and colleagues1 with great interest given the competitive nature of urology residency and desire of all programs to match high quality candidates who will achieve success as residents and, later, independent physicians. The timing is quite apropos with resident interviews currently in full swing. The manuscript utilized a logistic regression model trained to predict resident excellence, as based on scoring from the current and prior program directors. Based on their multivariable model, no negative interview comments and honors in all core clinical clerkships were independently associated with an excellent score Surprisingly, doing an away rotation and being ranked in the top 5 on the match list were not predictive of excellence.

Robotic Flexible Ureteroscopy: A Step-by-step Video by Using Roboflex AvicennaTM Platform The management of kidney stones, particularly those in the renal pelvis, is a critical aspect of urology. The European Association of Urology guidelines recommend Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy or Endourology methods, encompassing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Ureterorenoscopy (URS), for stones ranging from 10-20 mm. Robotic-assisted urological procedures have gained prominence in recent years, promising enhanced precision, and safety.
