“We're doing probably one of the highest volume of HoLEP cases…in the United States,” says Nicole L. Miller, MD, FACS.

“I think that there's certainly recognition that HoLEP is a procedure that can be self-taught and learned. But I think the learning curve is significantly shortened if you're mentored and certainly if you're fellowship trained,” says Nicole L. Miller, MD, FACS.

“For patients who are several years out from treatment for bladder cancer or kidney cancer, I don't think [the shortage is] going to have a clinical impact. For more acute settings, I have tried to rely a little bit more on MR urograms and ultrasound,” says Yair Lotan, MD.

“We really try to be careful about testing, especially when it's a potential burden of costs on the patient. What we really look at is where it's going to have an impact,” says Stephen J. Savage, MD.

“For the first time, we have 20-year follow-up data after the penile prosthesis,” says Mohit Khera, MD, MBA, MPH.

“We talked about patient buy in but family caregiver buy in is just as important, especially when we're talking about cancer,” says Shirley Lee, CRNP-FNP.

“We…just need to apply operational efficiencies that are utilized in other industries [to] health care,” says Shirley Lee, CRNP-FNP, MPH.

“Status quo EHR [and] status quo documenting [are] not going to give us the insights that we really need about how [patients are] doing now, and what are the opportunities we have to improve their care,” says Shirley Lee, CRNP-FNP, MPH.

“Clinically speaking, it really can harm patients to have gaps in both the data and their care,” says Shirley Lee, CRNP-FNP, MPH.

“If approved, tebipenem could provide a new oral treatment option for patients with cUTI who have limited or no alternative oral options," says Angela Talley, MD.

“I think we are good at treating the cancer but maybe not great at treating the patient as a whole. And that is an area that we can improve going forward based on research like this,” says Amy N. Luckenbaugh, MD.

In this conversation, Acacia Brush Perko, Esq, and Kenton H. Steele, Esq, discuss the qualities that comprise a good expert witness in a malpractice lawsuit.

“We kind of expected that treatment type wouldn't make a ton of difference in terms of…mental health outcomes after either surgery or radiation…but we were very clearly able to find groups of people who were at risk for poor mental health outcomes,” says Amy N. Luckenbaugh, MD.

“Oral tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide and intravenous ertapenem had a similar safety and tolerability profile,” says Angela Talley, MD.

“I think it's important to look at our practice from the consumer standpoint and see what we look like to our patients,” says Polina X. Reyblat, MD.

“I think the take home message is not to take sacral neuromodulation off the table,” says Sarah Martin, DO.

“The take-home message is that there is a new form of lithotripsy,” says Jonathan D. Harper, MD.

“Patients need to understand that even if you tell them that you may be doing this as an ambulatory procedure, they may actually have to stay afterwards, depending on what you find in the operating room or what happens in the postoperative period,” says Michael A. Palese, MD.

“We saw that this appears to be a safe treatment with very little bleeding,” says Jonathan D. Harper, MD.

“Of those patients that did the test phase 82% of them actually went on to full implants,” says Sarah Martin, DO.

“I think urology is inherently gendered,” says Polina X. Reyblat, MD.

“There are not enough male reproductive health specialists across the country at the present moment,” says Akanksha Mehta, MD, MS.
