A testament to the enduring spirit of mankind. No AUS available? Just clamp it...
#ThrowbackThursday: A simple device, the penile clamp is mainly used by incontinent men to prevent urine leakage. This incontinence clamp was designed to apply pressure to the male urethra. #DiduschMuseum

While I am a Luddite and anti-visual abstract, this is a nice one. Clearly Europe has much better cost control than the US. RP for 5,000€!
The costs for a #prostatecancer treatment for 1 man can be as much as €300,000. Late detection is one of the major causes of these enormous costs.

Prostate leading the way in another category. I suspect the numbers would be different if excluding INeRRT Gleason 6 tumors. @uroegg @Adam_Weiner535

PSA: There is no "n" in Malecot. The French surgeon Achille Etienne Malecot designed the catheter in Paris in the 1880s for use as a self-retaining suprapubic tube to manage urinary stone disease.

Residency summed up in under 140 characters...
The 5 stages of surgical retraction: 1. I hold retractor for boss. No idea. 2. I hold retractor for boss. I understand it all! 3. Boss holds retractor, I do surgery. Easy! 4. Junior holds retractor, I do surgery. Hard! 5. I hold retractor for junior. They feel awesome.

Seconded. Initial steps done in prostate. Next steps: how do we incorporate these models into clinical decision making? @jxu8088 @SFreedlandMD

Ask 3 Qs: why do it? Will it change management? Most importantly: does it change outcomes? Omitting frz section prior to ONB leads to no increased urethral recurrence
Challenging dogma..need a urethral frozen section prior to neobladder? I think not. @labbdoc @theVig245 @siadaneshmand @Agarwal_CaB The Impact of Omission of Intraoperative Frozen Section Prior to Orthotopic Neobladder | The Journal of Urology

Dogma questioning data. Surely cant directly apply to urologic pts, but food for thought!
Counter-intuitive data from @NEJM we may no longer need SCDs for some pts on prophy anticoagulation.. unproven in cancer/post-op patients though Adjunctive Intermittent Pneumatic Compression for Venous Thromboprophylaxis

Contrary to the opinions in the article: airing out the dirty laundry of how healthcare is priced is important!

A new federal mandate requires hospitals in Michigan and across the country to publish master price lists.
