Continuing Medical Education: Advances in Urology
Comprehensive Review of Urology provides current, relevant information on adult and pediatric disorders of the male and female urinary tract, the male reproductive system, and the kidney. Led by renowned urologist Aria F. Olumi, MD, lecturers use guideline-driven information that will improve your approach to screening, staging, diagnosis, and treatment. You’ll get expert take-home points from each lecture, including:
- MRI of Prostate Cancer. MRI is effective in detecting focal areas of highgrade prostate cancer, providing accurate locoregional staging, and guiding targeted biopsies.
- Kidney Cancer – Laparoscopic Management. Laparoscopic and robotic nephrectomy is now the standard care for most renal cell carcinoma patients. It offers significant advantages in morbidity while maintaining oncologic outcomes of open surgery.
- The Etiology and Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Vaginal wall descent is a normal part of aging; however, once the bulge protrudes past the hymen, most women are symptomatic.
- Surgical Management of Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. Surgical management of high-risk bladder cancer is a central component of definitive treatment. Wide resection of the bladder/perivesical tissues and control of the regional pelvic lymph nodes are key surgical tenets.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, you will be better able to:
- Discuss appropriate imaging for disorders of the prostate
- Explain the therapeutic approaches to recurrent urinary tract infections
- Describe office care and surgical approaches for transgender patients
- Define the diagnostic approach to a patient suspected of having penile cancer
- Explain the initial surgical approach to a patient with bladder trauma
- Distinguish between medical and surgical management of urinary lithiasis
- Compare the advantages of open surgical management and laparoscopic management for kidney cancer
- Differentiate which patients are appropriate for surgical management of urinary continence and which are appropriate for medical management
