- Relative Value Units Do Not Adequately Account for Operative Time in Urologic Surgery.Physician work relative value units (wRVU) are determined based on operative time, technical skill, mental effort, and stress. In theory, wRVU should account for the operative time involved in a procedure, resulting in similar wRVU per unit time for both short and long procedures. The primary aim of this study was to assess whether operative […]
- Utilization of Surgery for Post-prostatectomy Incontinence.Abstract: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following radical prostatectomy (RP) is common and potentially debilitating.
