Society Of Urologic Robotic Surgeons

Welcome to our website

Dear Colleagues,

It is an honor to address you as President of the Society of Urologic Robotic Surgeons (SURS). As a longtime member of the Endourological Society, I've seen firsthand how innovation drives progress in urology. SURS was founded on that same principle, embracing robotic surgery's potential to revolutionize patient care. Our mission centers on education, dissemination, and accessibility, creating a platform for urologists to learn, collaborate, and advance the field together.

We've made incredible strides since our inception, developing new techniques, training fellows,  refining procedures, and establishing best practices for robotic urologic surgery. But our work is far from over. We're committed to fostering mentorship, expanding access to robotic technology, and driving innovation through research. Our current initiatives, like the SP Marathon, free access to Endourology videos, the joint Focal Therapy Society/SURS annual meeting, and the robotic theater at the AUA, are just a glimpse of what we're doing to achieve these goals.

SURS is your society.  This website is your site for all things robotic urologic surgery. Whether you're a seasoned robotic surgeon or just beginning to explore this exciting frontier, we encourage you to actively engage with our community. Let your voice be heard, take advantage of our educational resources, and share your successes with your colleagues. Together, we will continue to shape the future of urologic care. 

Sincerely, President, Society of Urologic Robotic Surgeons Michael D. Stifelman, MD Professor and Chair Urology, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Northern Chair Urology, Hackensack Meridian Health Director Robotic Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health
