PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The Ohio Urological Society (OUS) Board of Directors has been hard at work planning the 2015 Annual Spring
Meeting. This event is the highlight of the year for the society and offers an opportunity for our members, residents,
visiting speakers and corporate partners to get together and learn something new about urology.
Much thought and effort have gone into the planning. While attendance has been stable in recent years, our goal is to
try to grow the society and make it an appealing meeting for all urologists in Ohio to attend. Thus, we have attempted
to incorporate as much feedback as possible into the planning of this year’s program. This will be the first year that
a live surgery will be broadcasted at the meeting, thanks to Secretary Ronney Abaza’s expertise in robotic surgery.
The meeting will be held in downtown Columbus at the Renaissance Hotel March 20 – 21, 2015. Unfortunately the NHL’s Columbus Blue
Jackets will be out of town that weekend, but the NCAA Basketball 2nd and 3rd rounds will be underway and provide a diversion in the evening
for those interested. The nearby Arena District (http://arenadistrict.com/events) also provides many dining and entertainment options, as does
the Short North (http://www.shortnorth.org).
I look forward to seeing you all here in Columbus this spring. Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] if you have
any questions or concerns regarding the Ohio Urological Society.
Bodo E. Knudsen, MD, FRCSC
OUS President

Dear colleagues and friends,
I am very excited to share with you the
wonderful program planned for this year’s
Ohio Urological Society (OUS) 2015 Annual
Spring Meeting to be held March 20 – 21, 2015
in Columbus. The OUS board has organized
what promises to be one of our best meetings
with a diversity of topics and speakers sure
to benefit everyone, no matter their practice
focus.
Our program will begin on Friday evening with the welcome
reception and an opportunity to mingle with colleagues and old
friends from around the state. We will also have a short session
Friday just before the reception to hear from elected officials on
political and health care policies relevant to our membership. Also
on Friday evening, there will be a moderated poster session where
we will learn about the latest research our residents from around
Ohio are working on.
Our Saturday morning program will begin again this year with
resident research presentations highlighting the best projects. We
will then for the first time have a live surgical broadcast of a robotic
surgery that will be moderated by one of our guest speakers,
Dr. Inderbir Gill from the University of Southern California.,
with the opportunity for questions and real-time interaction
between the audience in the meeting room and our team in the
O.R.
We are equally lucky to have with us this year Dr. J. Stuart Wolf, Jr.,
from the University of Michigan, who is our NCS visiting professor.
He will be speaking about the management of small renal masses
with an update on the American Urological Association (AUA)
guidelines that he was instrumental in forming. Dr. Wolf will then
lead a panel discussion of challenging renal mass cases, along with
Dr. *LOO and two of our OUS members with advanced training
in renal tumor surgery, Dr. Daniel J. Ricchiuti of NEO Urology
Associates and Dr. David S. Sharp of Ohio State University (OSU).
After our Industry Sponsored Lunch, Dr. Gill will present a
selection of urology cases where things didn’t quite go as planned,
which will be instructive for us to learn from others’ mistakes and to
see how to handle and prevent disasters. Dr. Raoul S. Concepcion,
of Urology Associates in Nashville, will be sharing with us the
latest information about treatment of advanced prostate cancers, an
increasingly important topic with the growing number of systemic
agents available and shift to use by many urology groups prior to
medical oncology referral.
Finally, we will have several of our Ohio experts in female urology
share their expertise with us, including a talk by Dr. Courtenay K.
Moore, of Cleveland Clinic, about surgical options for refractory
overactive bladder (OAB) and a panel discussion of challenging
cases and the latest developments with Dr. Ketul K. Shah of
OSU; Dr. Raymond A. Bologna from Akron; Dr. Ajay K. Singla
of University of Toledo; and Dr. Ayman Mahdy of University of
Cincinnati.
I strongly encourage you all to join us in Columbus for what
promises to be a great meeting! Please also invite your local
colleagues and partners to come and participate in the OUS.
Best regards,
Ronney Abaza, MD, FACS

E D UC AT I ONAL NEED S & OBJECTIV E S
Needs
The diagnosis and management of urologic diseases carry with it the obligatory
risk of medicinal or surgical complications. Pretherapeutic identification of those
individuals at specific risk, as well as the early identification of these complications,
and timely therapeutic intervention to treat them are imperative for the successful
management of the disease as well as patient safety.
Robotic surgery is a specialized field of urology that utilizes scopes and robotic
instruments to access the urinary tract in a minimally invasive manner. Robotic
and laparoscopic procedures are now common in urology. Knowledge regarding
the best application of this technology, its unique risks to our patients, how to
avoid or minimize those risks, and what to do when they do occur is essential.
The use of this technology carries with it the risk of procedural-related illness.
Knowledge of the risks and proper performance of robotic surgery is imperative.
The management of renal masses can be complex and include surveillance, ablation
and surgery as options. Identifying those patients best suited for each option is
critical to providing safe, appropriate care. Additionally, the post-procedural
issues that may arise should be recognized early and appropriate therapies chosen
and implemented. Also, urologists should be aware of the American Urological
Association (AUA) guidelines for renal masses.
Urologists frequently treat diseases surgically. The use of procedures and surgeries
is increasingly common. It is imperative that practicing urologists understand
the risks and potential complications of various procedures as well as ways to
minimize them.
Use of systemic agents is increasingly being done by urology practices rather than
early referral to medical oncology. The proliferation of new systemic agents and
their particular side effects is complex and requires knowledge of these agents and
their proper use.
Medications are used as first-line therapy for overactive bladder (OAB), but
surgical options become necessary or are preferred in some patients. Female
incontinence and pelvic reconstruction is a subfield of urology with diverse
pathology and challenges. There have been advances in these procedures that
have brought many benefits and some new complications. The correct use of these
procedures has improved the quality of life for many patients but patient selection,
complication recognition and management can be complex and understanding
these issues is paramount to patient care.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of the OUS 2015 Annual Spring Meeting, attendees should be
able to:
1. Describe various techniques used in robotic surgery to maximize
outcomes and minimize complications.
2. Identify global strategies for preventing the complications of advanced
urologic procedures.
3. Explain the evaluation and management of renal masses and patient
selection for surveillance, ablation and surgery.
4. Recognize the systemic agents used for advanced prostate cancer and
their efficacy and side effects.
5. Identify surgical and other nonpharmacological options for managing
OAB.
6. Apply medical and surgical options appropriately for managing
complex female urology patient conditions.
7. Identify global strategies for preventing the complications of advanced
urologic procedures.
