Bleeding risk in patients using Botox treatments and blood thinners

"I've worked in 3 different countries, I've seen dozens of people doing robotic radical prostatectomy...so my current practice is kind of a “best of” what I have seen and learned," says Ricardo Soares, MD.

“This technique is feasible, it is very well tolerated, and there’s not much of a complication rate, so it appears to be very safe,” says Amy D. Dobberfuhl, MD, MS.

"Until a better option comes along, its low cost (mesh alone) and ease of use allows a standardized approach in an appropriately selected patient," writes Gopal H. Badlani, MD.

“We need to improve the fact that 75% of these patients are untreated [or] unmanaged and frustrated,” says Alexandra Rogers, MD.

"We noted in our overall population, which was about 214 women, there was a 40% discontinuation rate for Botox treatments in the office," says Katherine L. Woodburn, MD.

Machine learning isn’t new to medicine or to urology, but its potential remains largely untapped, according to the authors of two new Cleveland Clinic–led studies.
