Majority of urologic surgical services are already outpatient Many urologic procedures are high volume, short duration and low cost Increasing emphasis on movement of site of service for surgical cases from hospitals and insurance carriers to ASCs There are still some case types where patients are traditionally admitted or placed in extended recovery status that can be converted to strictly outpatient status and would be suitable for an ASC Potential core of fee-for-service case types (microsurgery, aesthetics, prosthetics, etc.) Increasing Population of Those Aged 65 and Over As of 2018, it was estimated that there were 51 million persons aged 65 and over (15.63% of total population) By 2030, it is expected that there will be 72.1 million persons aged 65 and over National ASC Statistics - 2017 Urology cases represented 6% of total case mix for ASCs Urology cases were 4th in median net revenue per case (approximately $2,400) – behind Orthopedics, ENT and Podiatry Urology comprised 3% of single specialty ASCs (5th behind

Activity: May do as much as you feel up to. Your body will let you know when you are doing too much. Don't push yourself, however. Walking is ok and encouraged. If you sit too long you will become stiff and it will make it more difficult to move. Lying around can promote the formation of blood clots that can be life threatening. It is therefore important to move around. If you don't feel like walking, at least move your legs around in bed from time to time. Stairs are ok, just be careful of standing up too quickly and becoming light headed. Sitting still can also increase your risk of pneumonia. In addition to moving around, practice taking deep breaths ( 10 times each every hour or so) to keep your lungs properly aerated. Limitations: Avoid lifting or pushing/pulling any objects heavier than 1Olbs for at least 3 months. For patients with pelvic hernia or prolapse repairs it is recommended not to lift objects heavier than 25 Ibs for life. This may seem unrealistic. Try to put off lifting as long as possible. If you must lift, do not hold your breathe. Blow out as you lift to decrease abdominal and pelvic pressure. Also be aware that if you choose to lift objects heavier than recommended you risk forming another hernia 2.

Pollock MD1, Kalpesh Patel MD2, Joel Funk MD1 1University of Arizona, Department of Urology, Tucson, AZ, USA. 2Arizona Institute of Urology, Tucson, AZ, USA Abstract Objectives: Ureteroceles present a diagnostic and treatment challenge in adults. With an estimated prevalence of 1/500 to 1/4000, it is not uncommon for any urologist to encounter a ureterocele in clinical practice. We present an interesting case of a 53-year-old male with a 20-year history of obstructive voiding symptoms who presented to clinic with urinary retention that was found to be secondary to an orthotopic ureterocele that was prolapsed into the prostatic urethra. The patient underwent holmium laser ureterocele excision with transurethral incision of the prostate with a successful outcome. We present a video demonstrating the technique. Materials and Methods: Preoperative evaluation included a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate which revealed a prostate volume of 20cc. Urodynamics was also performed and pressure flow studies revealed a high-pressure, low flow voiding pattern with a functional detrusor muscle. Cystourethroscopy was performed revealing that an orthotopic ureterocele on the left side was prolapsed into the prostatic urethra and the bladder neck was mildly elevated. Using MOSES technology and laser settings of 30 Hz and 1.5 J, the ureterocele was completely excised and a transurethral incision of the prostate was performed. Results: The patient was discharged home on the day of surgery in stable condition with a Foley catheter in place.

  • Burch Colposuspension
    Burch Colposuspension Ericka M. Sohlberg, MDa, Christopher S. Elliott, MD, PhDa,b,* KEYWORDS Burch Colposuspension Urethropexy KEY POINTS Stress urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition for which surgical treatment continues to evolve. The Burch colposuspension has a 50-plus year history demonstrating strong long-term outcomes with few complications. Laparoscopic and open Burch colposuspension approaches have been shown to have equal efficacy. Other minimally invasive options, such as the mini-incisional Burch and robotic Burch, have less comparison data, although likely have similar outcomes. Although the use of the Burch colposuspension has waned in recent years secondary to a shift to- ward urethral sling operations, the Burch procedure still has an important role in the treatment of stress incontinence; specifically, a Burch should be considered when vaginal access is limited, intra-abdominal concurrent surgery is planned, or mesh is contraindicated.

  • Medical Policy Invasive Treatment for Urinary Incontinence
    Medical Policy Invasive Treatment for Urinary Incontinence Subject: Invasive Treatment for Urinary Incontinence Background: Urinary incontinence (the involuntary loss of urine) is a symptom that can be caused by a wide range of conditions including bladder dysfunction, sphincter incompetence, prostate problems (e.g., benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic carcinoma) or nerve damage. Symptoms of urinary incontinence (UI) can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. UI typically becomes more common with age, and women experience symptoms more often than men. There are four prevalent types of UI that occur in adults: • Stress Incontinence: The most common type of leakage, stress incontinence typically occurs during physical movement or activity (e.g., coughing, sneezing, running, heavy lifting) that puts pressure on the bladder. The primary causes of stress incontinence are urethral sphincter weakness (intrinsic sphincter deficiency) or a hypermobile urethra that occurs when there is weakness of pelvic floor and poor support of the vesicourethral sphincter unit. • Urge incontinence: Often referred to as "overactive bladder", urge incontinence is the unintentional loss of urine caused by the contraction of an overactive detrusor muscle (smooth muscle found in wall of bladder), usually associated with a sense of urgency. Urge incontinence is more commonly seen in men. • Overflow incontinence: Characterized by frequent small urinations and dribbling, overflow incontinence occurs when the bladder is full and unable to empty. Overflow incontinence is most common in men with a history of surgery or prostate problems, and rare in women. • Mixed incontinence: Mixed incontinence most commonly refers to a combination of stress and urge incontinence. Diagnostic evaluation for UI includes a complete history and physical, urinalysis, and diagnostic testing including urodynamic testing (if indicated) to assess urinary tract function, bladder filling and storage, and bladder emptying.
