If a surgical timeout works in the OR, it has to work for the morning routine, right? Going to hang a "TIME OUT" sign from the garage ceiling so we can officially confirm the presence of lunches, socks, and swim goggles before departure. Wish me luck. 🚦

Yesterday, it was great to spend time with NYU urology residents and discuss the evolving role of enhanced cystoscopy in bladder cancer.
As bladder preservation, NMIBC sequencing strategies, and tools like utDNA advance, accurate detection/risk stratification remain essential.
