Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effect of a urology oncology nurse specialist on pre and postoperative education for men undergoing genitourinary surgery for cancer.
- The main aim was to enhance preoperative teaching and information delivery, along with reducing postoperative incontinence rates.
- Results showed that personalized education by the nurse specialist led to improved postoperative continence and overall patient satisfaction, highlighting the importance of such roles in cancer care.
