Abstract

The principle indication for urethral surgery is stricture disease. There are a number of factors that influence the outcome of surgery including location of the stricture, stricture length, aetiology, previous surgery and selection of procedure. Outcomes for different techniques are summarised. The gold standard remains anastomotic urethroplasty, where appropriate, with patch urethroplasty or two-stage stage procedures for more complicated strictures especially the penile urethra.

Abstract

PURPOSE:: To determine whether transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate is equally reliable and acceptable if performed by urology nurse practitioner or urologist. SCOPE:: Octant biopsies were taken by each operator (consultant urologist n=2, urology specialist registrar n=1 and urology nurse practitioner n=2) from 50 consecutive unselected patients and demographics and cancer detection rate were compared between the groups. A postal survey was performed following nurse practitioner biopsy to assess patient satisfaction and acceptance of nurse practitioner biopsy. CONCLUSION:: Transrectal ultrasound-biopsy of prostate whether performed by nurse practitioner or urologist is equally reliable if adequate training is provided. Patients are happy to undergo prostate biopsy and receive information about the diagnosis from an appropriately trained prostate cancer nurse specialist.Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2004) 7, 122-125. doi:10.1038/sj.pcan.4500696 Published online 6 April 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
