The session was more than a technical lecture; it was a candid reflection on his years of experience, punctuated with insights that inspired seasoned faculty and young residents alike.
The Grand Rounds exemplified Tulane Urology’s mission to DISCOVER, LEARN, and HEAL by fostering an environment where cutting-edge techniques are shared openly among peers. As leaders in minimally invasive urologic surgery, Tulane continues to advance the field through collaboration and education.
Collaboration with Coloplast and Future Academic Partnerships
Dr. Perito’s Grand Rounds presentation reflects a larger commitment to education and mentorship. In partnership with Coloplast, Perito Urology offers monthly livestream virtual training seminars, ensuring that the next generation of urologists has access to practical, real-time guidance. These sessions frequently focus on the minimally invasive infrapubic technique, a hallmark of Dr. Perito’s approach to penile implant surgery.
Looking ahead to 2025, Perito Urology plans to partner with several academic urology programs nationwide, bringing their expertise directly to residents and faculty eager to refine their skills in penile prosthetics. By inspiring young urologists, these initiatives will help shape the future of urologic care and reaffirm the critical role of mentorship in medicine.
