Awesome #endourology sim lab organized by @Allyhertz at @UIowa_urology today. Stones and BPH don’t stand a chance!

Focusing on the value of care and financial implications considering individual patient priorities and cost burdens #IBCG26

Great to see @AmandaMyersMD on the podium at #IBCG26!

Wonderful to see global financial implications in bladder cancer care being formally discussed as #IBCG26 @IBCG_BladderCA recommendation. @AmandaMyersMD discussed value and appropriate management with equal weight and rigor as oncologic outcomes. Outstanding. 🌎🙏👍

Resident physicians Brent Yelton, @vickyg_md, and Andrea Rossman worked with Dr. James A. Brown to author this review of Dr. Rubin H. Flocks's work with colloidal gold at Iowa, which helped pave the way to modern brachytherapy. Read it now in a special @NCSAUA issue of The Scope of Urology: https://t.co/XWsUDWuCLt

Congratulations to @AnnahVollstedt on achieving InterStim™ Center of Excellence designation, demonstrating exemplary use of the InterStim™ system to manage overactive bladder, urgency urinary incontinence, and urinary retention. We now have 3 providers with this designation, including @HenryLaiUro and Dr. Karl Kreder.

The end of a much needed week long family trip. Love time with these people. It’s never enough.

As I approach the end of my second maternity leave, I put together a peripartum resource guide for women physicians with a goal of helping colleagues navigate this rewarding but tricky time. Please use and circulate! https://t.co/DeROjGgHLb @SWIUorg @AMWADoctors

@jryckman3 Both effective and reasonable options… in the right patient. Proper patient selection seems to be the issue in both cases

It’s like the Urolift of prostate cancer…

🚨 Half of focal therapy for #ProstateCancer in the US is happening where no guideline supports it 🚨

@JAMA_current research letter

👥 1,179,384 pts w/ nonmetastatic PCa, NCDB 2010 to 2023

📊 15,672 (1.3%) got focal therapy

⚠️ 51% was in low, high, or very high risk disease.
-No guideline supports routine use in ANY risk group outside trials or registries
⚠️ Low risk held flat (1.8% to 2.2%) and favorable intermediate is rising (2.1% to 2.9%) while marketing and&reimbursement expand
⚠️ Focal therapy more likely w/ age ≥75 (adjusted probability 22.9%), community centers (7.6% vs 2.5% academic), nonprivate insurance

✒️From the accompanying editorial
"Volume of this kind shows diffusion, not benefit."

🎯 Key points
1⃣In low risk this converts surveillance candidates into procedure pts
2⃣In high risk it is undertreatment.
3⃣Repeated use is building "an aura of legitimacy the data have not earned." We owe pts trials, not marketing.

Proud of this one. Hx of cystectomy+IC, open PNx. Now large stone burden. CT w retro renal spleen & existing PCN (27 cm SSD) in only reasonable access spot. Lower pole access achieved, pt stone free with PCNL. Complex cases alive and well at @UIowa_urology

@SPuro88 Ask them if they prefer that she tell them her dad is a piss prophet. Or bonerologist. It’s all about perspective.

[Ryan L. Steinberg MD @ryansteinbergmd]

Great to see @HenryLaiUro leading the way in the URPS world with better understanding of LUTS and urgency in LURN II

🔍 Does Sensory Sensitivity Explain Urinary Urgency?

A study reveals generalized sensory sensitivity (GSS) might contribute to urinary urgency symptoms, impacting treatment success.

🧠 Heightened Sensitivity - Patients with urgency showed increased GSS scores
📊 Impact on Symptoms - Higher GSS correlates with severe OAB and poorer quality of life
⚡ Treatment Implications - GSS suggests broader sensory issues, not just bladder-focused problems
