Urology Times spoke to urologists around the country and found that while some practices are adding physician extenders others are having almost as much trouble finding them as in finding urologists.

Looking back over 36 years in practice John M. Barry MD professor of surgery at the regon Health Sciences Center Portland notes that changes in academic practice have contributed to the need for physician extenders. “Physician extenders are more necessary because we have more urology faculty members” Dr.

Eid's No-Touch Technique. Eid also a Clinical Associate Professor of Urology at Cornell University believes that "it is the decrease of total bacterial count and exposure to skin rather than the complete elimination of bacteria from the procedure that accounts for the success of penile prosthesis implantation. " Salvage procedures where an infected implant is removed and a new device immediately inserted have been successful in the past even though the new implant is inserted in an infected tissue bed. But when performed without the No-Touch Technique this results in additional direct contact of the device with skin thus increasing exposure to skin bacteria. So the preferred school of thought would be to get it done right the first time and this is where experience counts. Infection rates for the infrequent penile implanter are over twelve times as high as Dr.

Bladder cancer data must be taken in context
Modern Medicine
However the study’s findings need to be interpreted carefully and the following points need to be considered:The suggestion that outcomes will be unchanged no matter how aggressively urologists follow or treat patients with early-stage bladder cancer is an oversimplification of the data. Formal guidance does exist on the appropriate use of surveillance in early-stage bladder cancer. Guidelines from the European Association of Urology specify risk-based surveillance techniques such that high-grade tumors receive more intensive surveillance and lower-risk tumors receive less intensive surveillance. The study data cover the period from 1992 to 2005. Thus the study does not take into account more recent information about bladder cancer surveillance and any impact it may have had on current clinical practice. Because the authors measured surveillance and treatment intensity within the first 2 years after diagnosis their presumption is that the care provided within this time period is the critical factor influencing ultimate outcomes. However subsequent care beyond those first 2 years could play a large role in deciding outcomes and is not accounted for in this study.
