Circumsessions Fardod O'Kelly

Welcome to another episode of Circumsessions where we have the privilege to be able to chat to Mr. Pat Malone on his pathway into paediatric urology and his collaborations between urology and paediatric general surgery which eventually led to the development of the (M)ACE procedure. This outstanding modification led to a revolution in the management of neurogenic bowels over the last number of decades and continues to be performed today. Mr. (not professor as he pointed out) has changed the lives of so many patients and colleagues over the years. Its a fascinating discussion.

Welcome to a special episode of Circumsessions where we have the pleasure to be able to platform the David Frank Medal Lecture for 2022 delivered by Tony Macedo.

This lecture has culminated from 25 years of work on patients with myelomeningocoele patients comprising of clinics, knowledge, surgery and patient reported functional outcomes.

The lecture was recorded in Jesus College, Cambridge University in November 2022.

It was a privilege speaking with Prof. Diamond whom I managed to interview just before the COVID-19 pandemic (I think we all have an idea of the effect that had on all of us). 

Prof. Diamond is a Pediatric Urologist with particular interests in Disorders of Sexual Differentiation, Transgender Surgery and Medical Ethics. He attended Princeton University and received his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and undertook his surgical residency at the University of Vermont and his urology residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He then travelled to the UK for pediatric urology fellowships at the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool,  Great Ormond Street Hospital and Institute of Urology in London.

His first faculty position was at the University of Massachusetts Medical School where he rose to Professor. He then joined faculty at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and remained for 25 years serving as Urologist-in-Chief for the last nine, before returning to the University of Rochester Medical Center in 2021.

He has authored the definitive chapters in the last four editions of Campbell-Walsh’s textbook of Urology. He served as Clinical Ethicist and member of the Ethics Advisory Council at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2002, became Co-Director of the Gender Management Service (GeMS) at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2007, and in 2017 Co-Director of the Gender Surgery Center, the first transgender surgical program based at a children’s hospital in the US.

Dr. David Canes is a board-certified fellowship trained Urologist who specializes in cancers of the prostate, kidney, and bladder. He also repairs complex urinary tract injuries and blockages. He is among the most experienced robotic surgeons in the Greater Boston area, having trained other surgeons in the technique both regionally and internationally. He is the Medical Director of Lahey’s New Hampshire satellite clinic at Parkland Medical Center.

We had a chat with David regarding his new venture WellPrept, a new centralised educational hub for patients and families containing videos, patient information tools, to help with the pre- and post-consultative process. Check it out on: https://wellprept.com

We're back. Season 2. Unlike most movie sequels, this promises to build on what we did last year. Prof. Johnson explains the importance and unique role of qualitative research in paediatric urology. This is in many ways an arduous and labour-intensive form of research, but the results can be incredible. Thanks for joining us!!

This was a key episode with Prof Terry, and it was a privilege to be joined again by Prof Marty Koyle as we tried to figure out what mentorship is, what it isn't, and why it's so important in this day and age. Thanks for joining us!!
