It is clear that the overall trends in urology continue in the direction of non-invasive, in-office and outpatient treatment of many urologic conditions.
Vasectomy My personal observation is that there is a definite increased interest in couples choosing vasectomy as a mode of permanent contraception. I suspect this may be partially impacted by the economy and the expense of having additional children.
Prostate cancer screening The recommendations for an annual PSA have been revised. A baseline PSA is now recommended in men beginning at age 40 (formerly a PSA blood test was performed on men starting at 50 years of age). Our in-office blood test can provide a result in an astounding 11 minutes.
NMP22 urine test The only non-invasive, in-office urine test approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of bladder cancer in patients with blood in the urine. The result is obtained in 30 minutes.
