Urologic Office Procedures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Primer of Geriatric Urology

Abstract

Office-based procedures constitute a vital component of any urologic practice. Given the prevalence of urologic disease in the elderly population, it is paramount to understand the special considerations when performing office procedures in this population. This section will review common urologic office procedures including urethral catheterization, urethral dilation, cystoscopy, suprapubic tube placement, and urodynamics. Special attention with regards to the elderly population will be paid to patient positioning and antibiotic prophylaxis. This is especially important since many elderly patients have orthopedic joint prosthesis and artificial heart valves. Age-related changes in urodynamic parameters also will be discussed.
