@SPuro88 Me too

I know the data on hemoglobin a1c and IPPs is mixed but personally I refuse to place them unless it’s less than 8.5. I’ve seen men drop their a1c 4-6 points to get their surgery done, more than in years of seeing their PCPs for their DM.

So excited to welcome Morgan McCain and Nick Slusher to our LSU Health Shreveport team! #uromatch2025

Major driver of healthcare cost

@Top100Rick @LouStagner That was my concern too. But the more I practiced the better/faster I got. I typically line up my ball while others putting so I’m ready to go when it’s my turn.

@LouStagner I hate lining up just like I hate aim point. Because it slows the game! So many times guys have to adjust and re-adjust the ball. (Yes I know plenty can do it fast, but definitely a correlation between these things and slow player.) Ban it all! 😂

Should you putt with a line on your ball? If you've ever wondered whether a line on your golf ball actually helps, a study by Brad Stenner and Jonathan Buckley has some answers. Their research sheds light on whether using a line on your ball really improves putting performance, and the results might just change your approach on the greens. Study Overview The researchers recruited 29 skilled amateur golfers, all with handicaps of 12 or lower (average handicap of 7.6). These players each hit 30 putts on a flat green, using their own putters and balls. Half the putts were hit with a ball with a line on it, and the other half with a ball without a line. The distances for these putts varied based on the golfer's skill level, ranging from 5 feet 7 inches up to 8 feet 6 inches. Key Findings The standout result? At the longest distance of 8 feet 6 inches, players holed 27% more putts with the line compared to without it (an average of 9.7 putts made with the line versus 7.6 without). For shorter distances — 5 feet 7 inches and 7 feet 6 inches — there was no significant difference between the two methods. What’s Behind the Improvement? You might think the alignment mark’s sole purpose is to help you aim better, but the study suggests something deeper is at play. Many participants reported that using the alignment mark helped them concentrate more and stick to a consistent pre-shot routine. This is a crucial insight because, as any golfer knows, confidence and routine can be huge factors in putting well. The line seemed to serve as a mental trigger, helping golfers get into a focused state before striking the ball. The Study’s Conclusion: a simple change with a big potential impact. Stenner and Buckley concluded that using a line on your ball can indeed be beneficial, especially for longer putts where accuracy tends to drop off. However, the researchers also pointed out that this isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. More studies are needed to determine if the line on the ball is just as helpful on breaking putts or for golfers with higher handicaps. But based on their findings, the line on the ball offers a straightforward way to gain a potential edge. The next time you’re on the practice green, consider experimenting with a line on the ball. It might help you establish a more focused, consistent routine and improve your putting accuracy in those critical scoring zones. Remember, it’s not about completely changing your game overnight but finding those small, incremental gains that can add up to better scores. Experiment with using a line on your ball, focus on developing your routine, and see if it transforms your putting. Experiment. Measure. Go with what works FOR YOU! So, should you use a mark on your ball? The evidence suggests it's worth trying.

@OliLondonTV We occasionally hit the mark, but it’s rare

@CanesDavid I also tell them to think of the “lesion” as an “area of interest.” I tell them “MRI is good, but not that good”. “We still need a biopsy to detect cancer and areas of interest are normal in men over the age of 50.”

PIRADS whatever lesion -> biopsy negative Patients always say "well what about the lesion?" who has a good explanation for this (seriously asking)

First time using the lighted, suctioning, self retaining, urethroplasty specific nasal speculum! #RAVINI Awesome! Congrats @UroRecon @RamonVirasoro @cirugiadeuretra @MayoUrology @SocietyGURS

@alextatem @clavelluro @kjdelay1 @JonBeilan Yes. Patients at our ASC have to stop two weeks prior for delayed gastric emptying concerns

Just had my first case cancel because a patient didn’t stop his Ozempic. Has this happened to anyone else? @clavelluro @kjdelay1 @JonBeilan

@WCInvestor Any links to the recent study? Thanks!

According to a JAMA study, around 1/3 of academic physicians across specialties expressed "intent to leave" their current institution. Factors like burnout & lack of professional fulfillment were significant contributors. Where does your specialty fall on this chart?

@LSUHSUrology @KortumSpencer @mattrhandley We got their swag ordered today!

We are THRILLED to match @KortumSpencer and @mattrhandley to our program. Welcome to the family! #AUAMatch #UroMatch #UroSoMe

@SPuro88 Excellent post. Talk about unintended consequences…Transparency is important, but common sense also has to prevail. Patients want their providers to have time to review results prior to release so context can be provided when appropriate.

Got routine screening labs for my annual PCP appointment. Lab values resulted to MyChart at 6:30am, I promptly sent a series of messages at 6:31am asking why all the values weren’t green and it’s 7:30 and I haven’t heard back. Healthcare is a nightmare!!!!!

@SexHealthMD @DrMohitKhera Also very easy to use this placement from an infrapubic approach using @DrPaulPerito technique. Extremely safe and effective.

Colleague and friend Dr Mohit Khera presents on his transfascial fixation technique for inflatable penile prosthesis in Dubai. I use this technique in >70% cases now. Game changer. @DrMohitKhera #issm2023

@adam_baumgarten @urol11 @clavelluro @DrPaulPerito @AramLoeb @drsamnealon @drrauli @ranjithramamd I drain everyone overnight and more if needed. Removal in office

I leave drains in all virgin cases, 48-72 hours. Patients remove at home. Do you leave drains? @urol11 @clavelluro @DrPaulPerito @AramLoeb @drsamnealon @drrauli @ranjithramamd

@ryanmouquegolf Great post. Don’t let the trolls get to you. Made sense to me and very helpful. You are right too, btw.

People not understanding what I’m saying here… All I’m saying is your feet are NOT what aim at the target… you want to set the face first, then feet. Sorry I can’t draw perfect lines on a screen… I’d need one camera on the feet line and one on the ball line to draw these accurately… I never once SAID that you’d be aiming 50y right…
