Optimal Prostate Cancer Diagnostic Pathways for Men With Prostatomegaly in the MRI Era.

Objective: To evaluate utilities of multiparametric MRI and targeted biopsy to detect clinically significant prostate cancer in men with prostatomegaly.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of multiparametric MRI obtained for elevated PSA between 2017 and 2020. We selected patients with prostates ≥80 g who had undergone biopsy.

Preference Signaling and Virtual Interviews: The New Urology Residency Match.

Objective: To define applicant response to the preference signaling program and continuing virtual aspects of the 2022 Urology Residency Match to guide future decisions surrounding this process.

Methods: We emailed an anonymous, de-identified 20-question, multiple choice survey to all applicants to our institution for the 2022 Urology Residency Match (RedCap). Where appropriate, comparisons were made to already published data collected in an identical manner from applicants to our institution for the 2021 Urology Residency Match.

Safety and Feasibility of Telehealth Only Preoperative Evaluation Before Minimally Invasive Robotic Urologic Surgery.

Telehealth utilization has increased dramatically over the past few years due to improvement in technology and the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, no study has examined whether a telehealth visit alone for preoperative evaluation is safe and sufficient before surgery. We examined the safety and feasibility of preoperative telehealth visits alone before minimally invasive urologic surgery.

Presenting signs and symptoms of artificial urinary sphincter cuff erosion.

Purpose: To characterize the most common presentation and clinical risk factors for artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion to distinguish the relative frequency of symptoms that should trigger further evaluation in these patients.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our tertiary center database to identify men who presented with AUS cuff erosion between 2007 - 2020. A similar cohort of men who underwent AUS placement without erosion were randomly selected from the same database for symptom comparison.

Outcomes of patients undergoing concurrent radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy: A single-institution series.

Introduction: Radical cystectomy (RC) and radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) are commonly performed in urological oncology. Concurrent disease in the upper tract and bladder is rare, so performing both procedures in the same setting is uncommon. Here, we report the perioperative and oncological outcomes of a single-institution series of concurrent RC+RNU.

Twitter and Instagram Use in the Urology Residency Application Process.

Objective: To define urology applicant attitudes and usage trends of social media (SM) during the 2021 urology match cycle.

Methods: We emailed an anonymous, de-identified 22-question, multiple choice survey to all applicants to our institution for the 2021 Urology Residency Match. We asked participants about use of SM and which aspects they found useful in the application process.

The Virtual Urology Residency Match Process: Moving Beyond the Pandemic.

Objectives: To define applicant response to the 2021 Urology Residency Match Process in the COVID-19 Pandemic and to extrapolate lessons to optimize the urology resident selection process after the pandemic.

Methods: We emailed an anonymous, de-identified 22-question, multiple choice survey to all applicants to our institution for the 2021 Urology Residency Match, including a summary of the study with a survey link (RedCap).

Results: Of the 398 survey recipients, 144 responded (36%).
