Background
Despite consensus guidelines, many men with low‐grade prostate cancer are not managed with active surveillance. Patient perception of the nomenclature used to describe low‐grade prostate cancers may partly explain this discrepancy.
Methods
A randomized online survey was administered to men without a history of prostate cancer, presenting a hypothetical clinical scenario in which they...
Background
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Medicaid expansion under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (January 1, 2014) on the epidemiology of high‐risk prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) levels (≥20 ng/mL) at the time of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. The authors hypothesized that better access to care would result in a reduction of high‐risk features at diagnosis...
Aims
To examine surgeon characteristics in certifying urologists performing prolapse surgeries. Anterior compartment prolapse is often associated with apical prolapse, with high rates of recurrence when anterior repair is performed without apical resuspension.
Methods
Six‐month case log data of certifying urologists between 2003 and 2013 was obtained from the American Board of Urology (ABU). Cases...
To report the distribution of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stages in adult spina bifida (SB) patients. The severity of POP in the SB population has not been previously reported.Retrospective review of SB patients ≥18 years with a documented POP quantification examination between 2006 and 2014 were included. Patient demographics, gestation, parity, POP quantification examinations and prolapse symptoms...
There is a perception in urology that female urologists encounter gender based role assignments and are often pigeonholed into caring for more female patients and female specific urological issues than their male colleagues. We assessed the influence of surgeon gender on patient gender demographics by exploring the surgical case logs of American urologists.Six-month case logs of certifying urologists...
