Physicians and patients alike: always remember that ED is a harbringer of cardiovascular disease! ED and CVD share many of the same risk factors: DM, HTN, smoking, obesity... use the opportunity to take assessment of the patient as a whole. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4121…

Thank you for the support! We have an awesome team here at AUI!

Another successful prosthetic urology training course in the books! Thank you to @bsc_urology and the EDUCARE program for hosting these excellent opportunities for the next gen of urologic surgeons! It’s a privilege working with such excellent faculty and inspiring residents.

Let’s get this thing started! And thank you to @drparekattil for an excellent first session! Great working making orchalgia less painful- for us all! #sesaua25

Love spending time with the program!

I was citing Esteves et al during my training, and 6 years later the productivity continues! A worthwhile read which summarizes bits of infertility knowledge nicely throughout the article. Well done! fertstert.org/article/S0015-… Some old (and new) summary points: - Intratesticular T levels are crucial to adequate spermatogenesis - In hypogonadal NOA pts, hormone-pretreated patients (hCG +/- FSH) had 2.5 x higher odds of successful sperm retrieval than those who did not undergo hormone stim - This regimen may be more beneficial for normogonadotropic males (FSH <12) than those who are hypergonadotropic - Varicocele repair prior to sperm retrieval may be of benefit (although not currently endorsed by AUA guidelines)

We had a great OR day: ✅ Salvage IPP ✅ Sperm retrieval ✅ IPP x 3 ✅ AUS remove/replace All while learning + training with one of @USFUrology’s finest residents! AND we were happy to bring the first TENACIO pumps to the greater Tampa Bay Area! Thank you team @bsc_urology!

Less than 2 months until the 2024 @SMSNA_ORG annual meeting, and the @supsorg surgical training lab - always a highlight of the year!

A few take-aways: - ED affects young men too (1/4 under 40 years old!) - Regardless of dosage, daily tadalafil is well tolerated and results in significant improvements - Don't disregard patients with "it's just in your head" academic.oup.com/jsm/article…

I had a great time meeting other peer experts in the field, and soaking in the enthusiasm of our trainees! Thank you @bsc_urology for supporting our passion.

Nice article by my colleague @drjaminb on @cnnhealth. Thank you for increasing awareness about male fertility, and well done!! cnn.com/2024/04/24/health/ma…

Closed-suction drains >48 hrs after #IPP are safe and NOT associated w higher infection rates. A good option to lower post-op hematoma risk! Thank you @sexmedjournals for highlighting our work! Well done @OrtizUrology @adam_baumgarten & the UAB team 💪 academic.oup.com/jsm/article…

Highlights from November: catching up w the @USFUrology family and proctoring with the excellent teachers of the @supsorg lab. Thank you @SMSNA_ORG !!

"While intracavernosal PRP is considered safe, its efficacy for the management of ED remains unknown due to variability among clinical trials." Thank you @DrTomMasterson and his team for this narrative! academic.oup.com/smr/article…

Dipping CFA nuggets into McD’s sweet and sour: how can two good things be so bad?

Last week I thoroughly enjoyed training such an engaged group of residents! What a privilege to be included on the faculty for this Prosthetic Urology course. Thank you @bsc_urology!!

Detailed and useful discussion!

Thank you to @abcactionnews and to our wonderful patients for helping to raise awareness of #malefertility!! @ASRM_org abcactionnews.com/news/regio…
