SYNPOSIS
Dr. Wiegand shares insights on the evolution of robotic surgery, from laparoscopic to single-port systems, and how these advances have improved patient recovery and expanded the possibilities for outpatient care.
The conversation also dives into the shifting boundaries between academic and private practice, the growing demand for reconstructive urology, and practical advice for residents considering fellowship training. Dr. Wiegand emphasizes the enduring value of subspecialty education, the increasing recognition (and even financial premium) placed on fellowship training, and the importance of continuous learning, collaboration, and patient-centered care.
