- See single port surgery through the eyes of the surgeons performing it. On 12 December, the Global Single Port Marathon is coming back to Surgquest! Join international surgeons for a closer look at single-port robotic urology through live and semi-live cases across kidney, prostate and reconstructive surgery. Watch how surgeons navigate anatomical challenges, compare techniques and explain the decisions behind each approach, with expert discussions moderated from Orsi Academy. A chance to look beyond the procedure and understand
- Everyone does it.” But why? For Dr. Jan Mulier, that question belongs in every student’s training. An approach may be effective and safe, but understanding why you use it still matters. In Surgquest Voices, Jan P Mulier shares the mindset he encourages in the next generation: look around, stay curious and keep asking questions. 🎧 Watch or listen to the full conversation with Ruben De Groote MD, PhD, FEBU and Elise De Bleser on Spotify: https://wllw.co/YMDoovNtk Supported by CONMED Corporation.
- More surgical space at lower pressure? For Prof. Dr. Jan Mulier, that question brings surgery and anaesthesiology together. In this Surgquest Voices snippet, Jan P Mulier discusses the balance between surgical working space and peritoneal perfusion, and the role of deep neuromuscular blockade in his approach to low-impact surgery. A practical example of why progress in the operating room starts with understanding each other’s challenges. 🎧 Discover the full conversation with hosts Ruben De Groote MD, PhD, FEBU and Elise De
- There is a brain on both sides.” For Dr. Jan P Mulier, the curtain between surgeon and anaesthesiologist should never stand in the way of collaboration. 🎙️ Episode 5 of Surgquest Voices is now live. Joining Dr. Ruben De Groote MD, PhD, FEBU and Dr. Elise De Bleser, he shares how progress starts with accepting that you might be wrong, investigating problems together and learning from the person on the other side of the curtain. From his early fascination with engineering to his work in anaesthesiology and low-impact surgery,
- Proud to see AZORG's work with the Histolog Scanner featured by VRT NWS. Congratulations again to @Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie, @Dr. Ruben De Groote MD, PhD, FEBU and the Urology team at AZORG. AZORG is the first hospital in Belgium to bring the Histolog Scanner into routine use in their urology department. Their work in the operating room is matched by leadership in research. Dr. De Groote and Prof. Dr. Mottrie led an international expert consensus, published this year in BJUI and BJUI Compass journals, on how to integrate Histolog
- We're proud to see our Histolog Scanner in routine use at AZORG in Aalst, the first hospital in Belgium to bring it into routine use in their Department of Urology. Congratulations to @Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie, @Dr. Ruben De Groote MD, PhD, FEBU and the entire Aalst urology team. As part of the operative workflow, remote pathologists read Histolog images of the scanned tissue specimens, giving the surgeons additional information to support interoperative decision-making. We're grateful for their trust and partnership, and for the
- Once telesurgery has been demonstrated across 11,000 kilometres, what comes next? During ERUS Spotlight, Dr. Youness Ahallal reflects on the Shanghai-Casablanca telesurgery experience, during which he worked with approximately 200 ms of latency. He also discusses what followed in Morocco: using telesurgery to operate on patients remotely and support surgical colleagues based in other cities. Together, these experiences show how the conversation around telesurgery is moving beyond distance towards exploring how the technology can
- What happens when an unexpected diagnosis changes the way you look back at a surgical case? During ERUS Spotlight, Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie reflects on a particularly unusual case involving a patient who was found to have a pheochromocytoma. The case is a strong reminder of how quickly the unexpected can enter the operating room, and why clinical judgement, preparation and an experienced team remain essential when things do not go according to plan.
