Neu im Fachgebiet Urologie

Ab sofort gelten die neuen Verordnungsausnahmen für Lipidsenker

Freie Fahrt für Lipidsenker? Das nicht, doch mit niedrigerem Schwellenwert fürs Infarktrisiko und neuen Indikationen hat der G-BA die Verordnungs-Handbremse ein gutes Stück weit gelockert.

Wechsel von Zugangsroute und Biopsiesteuerung: Erfahrungen eines Zentrums

Geht der Switch zur transperinealen gezielten Prostatabiopsie auf Kosten der diagnostischen Qualität? Nein, urteilen norwegische Urologinnen und Urologen nach Durchsicht von Daten aus ihrer Einrichtung.

Warum werden Hodenprothesen so selten angeboten?

Forschende aus Großbritannien haben untersucht, wie häufig eine Hodenprothese bei krebsbedingter radikaler Orchidektomie angeboten wird. Vor allem die Gründe, warum kein Implantat zur Wahl gestellt wird, sind erstaunlich. 

Genügt die biparametrische MRT für die Prostatadiagnostik?

Die multiparametrische Magnetresonanztomografie hat einen festen Platz im Screening auf klinisch signifikante Prostatakarzinome. Ob auch ein biparametrisches Vorgehen ausreicht, ist in einer Metaanalyse untersucht worden.
