In our latest episode, guest host Stephen Nakada, MD, welcomes two nationally recognized leaders in Urology: Adam Kibel, MD, Chief of Urology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center and a Professor at Harvard University School of Medicine, and Thomas Chi, MD, Professor and Chair of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Urology.

This in-depth and lively conversation offers a candid look at what it means to lead in the rapidly evolving field of urology – and what it takes to inspire others, drive meaningful change, and succeed in an increasingly complex health care landscape.

WInnovations host Dr. Ali Antar continues his conversation on advances in robotic technology with Richard Link, MD, PhD, professor and Carlton-Smith Endowed Chair in Urologic Education at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dan Gralnek, MD, associate professor in the Department of Urology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The three broaden their discussion as they explore the institutional challenges faced in implementing single-port robotic technology, how to approach incidental prostate cancer findings, the future role of AI in education and the use of robotic technology, and more.

In part one of a two-part interview, WInnovations host Dr. Ali Antar sits down with two of his longtime mentors, Richard Link, MD, PhD, professor and Carlton-Smith Endowed Chair in Urologic Education at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dan Gralnek, MD, associate professor in the Department of Urology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, for an in-depth conversation on the evolving role of single-port robotic surgery in urology. Drawing from decades of clinical, academic, and surgical leadership, the three explore how advances in robotic technology are reshaping patient access, surgical training, and minimally invasive care.
