“Anytime as a urologist you have a patient who is peri or postmenopausal who is coming through your door, and they have a history of a urinary tract infection, this should be the first thought in your mind,” says Ashley G. Winter, MD.

David Albala, MD, shares closing advice on using PSMA-PET scans in prostate cancer management and making informed patient selection decisions based on guidelines and practical insights.

"They found that about 68% of the patients with a PSA less than 1 actually had a positive test. And that's really important," says Jason M. Hafron, MD.

"I think it may provide better care. What has been shown though, with some things, is that it can make mistakes and tries to cover them up, and that can be a problem also," says E. David Crawford, MD.

“It's 2023. We have a lot of other options. I'm not really sure that would be my frontline therapy for my dad or a family member,” says Kevin C. Zorn, MD, FRCSC, FACS.

“It's important that everyone understands that once women move up the ranks from becoming residents to fellows to attending, and when they're attendings if they move up in the leadership, that they remain available for questions, guidance, mentorship, [and] sponsorship,” says Jennifer Miles-Thomas, MD.

"Urologists can play a central role in helping women through the symptoms that are associated with hormone issues," says Sarah K. Girardi, MD, FACS.

"We're all going through the same thing, so we should not be reinventing the wheel," says Dr. Kari Bailey.

Drs Semins and Bechis discuss the utility and benefits of ureteral access sheaths, emphasizing their role in optimizing visualization, reducing intra-renal pressure, and potentially mitigating postoperative complications, while also noting the importance of size selection and highlighting emerging technologies that measure pressures and manage thermal injury.

Dr Michelle Semins discusses strategies to minimize elevated intra-renal pressure, emphasizing the principle of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) by reducing inflow and increasing outflow, and suggesting tools and techniques such as stopcocks, gravity bags, ureter access sheaths, and new suction devices, while also highlighting the importance of controlling other risk factors like bacteria.

"Most complications that happened, they happened within the first 48 hours postoperatively. Blood transfusions were by far the biggest contributor to this," says Matthew Epstein, MD.
