“This analysis of this publication confirms the link between efficacy and the patient perception, and that the results are actually meaningful to the patients as well,” says Cornelia Haag-Molkenteller, MD. PhD.

“I think in specialized cases, especially for patients [who] need focal therapy or want focal therapy, or [for whom] you're really trying to minimize any nerve damage or urethral damage…these are excellent therapies,” says Jennifer Linehan, MD.

In a cohort of nearly 30,000 patients, more than half had cystoscopy-based stent removal within 6 months post ureteroscopy, investigators reported.

Welcome to another installment of Uranimals, our video series featuring urologists and their pets.

“I currently make regular use of a peripheral nerve block during PCNL…with the intent of, of limiting my patients exposure to and the need for opioids,” says Jared S. Winoker, MD.

“I think discussing it and talking about the different techniques out there [is important],” says Svetlana Avulova, MD.

“Physicians should take better care of their own personal needs [and] create some boundaries…for a more balanced life,” says William Lynes, MD.

“I believe we are getting to an era where we will be able to cure a significant subset of patients who we are not able to cure today,” says Neil H. Bander, MD.

“The decrease of frequency in doing these procedures may not put improving the techniques of the procedure at the forefront of the surgeon's mind,” says Svetlana Avulova, MD.

“[Kidney stones] really seems like something that we should be devoting significant resources and effort to trying to figure out the root causes and also better treatments and therapies for,” says Jonathan E. Shoag, MD.

“We should really try to adapt, know what we're doing to the specific patient based on their risk factors, prepare them appropriately, and understand that it's a dangerous complication. We should do everything we can to prevent it,” says Naeem Bhojani, MD, FRCSC.

“Take care of yourself, so we can take care of other people,” says Diana Londoño, MD.
