Whether  you  are  a  patient,  a  referring  physician,  an  alumnus,  

friend  of  Emory  Urology,  or  a  prospective  candidate  for  employment  or  training,  I  hope  that  our  newsletter  will  provide  you  a  fitting  introduction  to  our  team  and  update  you  on  current  news  within  the  department.  Emory  Urology  is  among  the  foremost  programs  for  delivering  sophisticated,  patient-­‐centered  care  across  the  entire  spectrum  of  adult  and  adolescent  urological  conditions.  Our  doctors  have  been  recognized  by  innumerable  national  and  regional  awards  and  commendations.  We  take  care  of  more  than  15,000  patients    

with  urological  diseases  annually.  Our  surgical  expertise  spans  the  gamut  from  the  most  routine  urological  procedures  to  the  most  complex  cases  referred  from  urologists  across  the  region  and  throughout  the  country.  We  practice  at  4  hospitals:  Emory  University  Hospital,  Saint  Joseph’s  Hospital,  Grady  Memorial  Hospital,  and  the  Atlanta  VA  Medical  Center.  Our  residents  and  fellows  also  work  with  affiliated  Pediatric  Urology  faculty  at  Children’s  Healthcare  of  Atlanta.    In  addition  to  exemplary  patient-­‐centered  care,  Emory  Urology  does  much  more:  scientists  and  physician-­‐scientists  in  our  Department  are  developing  new  treatments  for  both  urological  cancers  (including  prostate,  bladder,  kidney,  and  penile  cancer)  and  non-­‐cancerous  urologic  problems  (including  kidney  stones,  male  infertility,  urinary  incontinence,  urinary  reconstruction,  erectile  dysfunction  and  more).  Many  of  the  country’s  top  urological  surgeons,  including  Department  Chairs  at  other  leading  institutions,  started  their  careers  at  Emory.  It  is  an  honor  for  me  to  have  the  opportunity  to  lead  Emory  Urology,  and  I  welcome  you  to  join  or  revisit  our  network  of  patients,  referring  physicians,  alumni,  and  friends.

 

Reorganizing  Department  into  Divisions  -­‐  Sanda  Names  Three  New  Leadership  Positions  New  Emory  Department  of  Urology  Chairman,  Martin  G.  Sanda  MD,  nominated  Emory  Urology  faculty  members  to  three  new  leadership  positions  within  the  department:  Dr.  Chad  Ritenour  as  Vice  Chair  of  Education  and  Faculty  Affairs,  Dr.  John  Petros  as  Associate  Chair  of  Research,  and  Dr.  Viraj  Master  as  Associate  Chair  for  Quality  and  Clinical  Affairs.  These  appointments  were  supported  by  unanimous  consensus  at  the  March  faculty  meeting  as  part  of  strategic  restructuring  of  the  Department  into  4  Divisions:  Division  of  Oncology,  Division  of  Minimally  Invasive  Surgery  and  Endourology,  Division  of  Reconstructive  Urology,  and  Division  of  Men’s  Health,  Infertility  and  Office  Urology.    

Emory  Urology  Service  established  at  Emory  Saint  Joseph’s  Hospital  Emory  Urology  is  leading  the  way  among  Emory  surgical  specialties  in  establishing  clinical  services  at  Emory’s  newest  affiliate  hospital,  Saint  Joseph’s.  Dr.  John  Pattaras,  Associate  Professor  of  Urology,  is  assuming  leadership  of  this  endeavor  as  the  Director  of  the  Emory  Urology  Service  at  SJH.  Emory  urologists  Dr.  Martin  Sanda,  Dr.  Peter  Nieh,  and  Dr.  Wayland  Hsiao  as  well

Multidisciplinary  Prostate  Cancer  Care  Center  Initiated  at  Saint  Joseph’s  Hospital  Under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Martin  Sanda,  a  Multi-­‐disciplinary  Prostate  Cancer  Clinic  is  opening  at  Emory’s  newest  affiliate  hospital,  Saint  Joseph’s.  Dr.  Sanda,  who  previously  directed  such  a  Clinic  at  University  of  Michigan  and  established  a  multidisciplinary  prostate  center  at  Beth  Israel  Deaconess  Medical  Center  in  Boston,  will  lead  the  center  in  coordination  with  Dr.  Peter  Rossi  of  Radiation  Oncology  and  the  Emory  Winship  Cancer  Institute.  Drs.  Pattaras,  Dr.  Nieh,  and  Emory  medical  oncologists  will  also  provide  patient  care  in  the  center.  The  Center  will  serve  as  a  “one-­‐stop  shop”  for  prostate  cancer  patients  with  urologic  cancer  experts,  radiation  specialists,  and  medical  oncology  specialists  all  under  one  roof.  Along  with  an  in-­‐house  lab,  patient  care  coordinators  will  also  be  employed  to  enhance  patient  experience.    

Emory  Urology  at  the  2013  American  Urological  Association  Convention  • Dr.  John  Petros  was  invited  as  a  distinguished  speaker  at  the  AUA  Urologic  Oncology  Research  Symposium.  He  delivered  a  keynote  presentation  entitled  “Mitochondrial  Genetics  and  Cancer.”  • Dr.  Viraj  Master  delivered  a  featured  presentation  about  Emory’s  innovative  video-­‐based  educational  tool  that  enhances  patient  comprehension  of  common  prostate  health  terminology.  • Dr.  Jeff  Carney  participated  as  a  lead  faculty  in  a  postgraduate  educational  course  to  teach  urologists  on  urethral  reconstruction.  • Dr.  Sanda’s  research  on  PHI  (prostate  health  index)  as  a  new  method  to  selectively  detect  aggressive  prostate  cancer  was  selected  by  the  AUA  for  a  press  release.  Dr.  Sanda’s  contribution  to  prostate  cancer  research  was  featured  and  highlighted  by  the  AUA  during  the  convention.  

Overall,  Emory  Urology  contribution  to  the  AUA  totaled  34  Emory  scholarly  activities,  which  included  29  scientific  podium  and  poster  presentations,  2  keynote  presentations,  2  post-­‐graduate  educational  courses  and  1  educational  video.    

Urology  PA  Residency  started  at  Emory  -­‐  First  in  Southeast  Dr.  Chad  Ritenour,  Dr.  John  Pattaras  and  Tania  Soloman  PA-­‐c  have  begun  the  first  Physician  Assistants  (PA)  urological  residency  program  in  the  southeast.  The  program  provides  a  broad-­‐based  educational  experience  whereby  a  certified  PA  is  trained  in  urological  conditions.  The  PA  resident  program  will  emphasize  patient  care,  medical  knowledge,  interpersonal  and  communication  skills  and  professionalism.  Training  is  provided  in  a  well-­‐established  academic  university,  national  cancer  center  and  associated  hospitals,  focusing  on  intellectual  stimulation,  surgical  skills  and  evidence-­‐based  medicine.  Objectives  include  exposure  to  outpatients,  inpatients  and  surgical  settings,  with  peri-­‐operative  involvement,  to  enable  the  resident  to  gain  the  expertise  necessary  to  practice  in  a  urology  setting  of  their  choice.  The  inaugural  resident  started  April  1.    

Issa  Promoted  to  Professor  Dr.  Muta  M.  Issa,  Chief  of  Urology  at  The  Atlanta  Veterans  Affairs  Medical  Center,  was  recently  promoted  to  Professor  of  Urology  with  tenure.  The  Emory  Board  of  Trustees  voted  to  approve  his  promotion  at  its  most  recent  meeting  in  March.  Dr.  Issa  earned  his  medical  degree  from  the  Royal  College  of  Surgeons  in  Dublin,  Ireland  and  received  his  urology  training  at  Johns  Hopkins  University  Medical  Center  in  Baltimore,  Maryland  and  Stanford  University  Medical  Center  in  Palo  Alto,  California.  Dr.  Issa  began  practicing  at  Emory  in  1997.    

Research  Highlight:  “Health  Buddy”  Incontinence  Trial  at  Atlanta  VA  A  four-­‐year  research  grant  titled  “Perioperative  Post-­‐Prostatectomy  Incontinence  Home  Telehealth  Program”  recently  received  $1  million  in  federal  funding.  Dr.  Muta  M.  Issa,  Professor  of  Urology,  at  Emory  University  Department  of  Urology  and  Chief  of  Urology  at  the  Atlanta  VA  Medical  Center  (AVAMC)  is  the  Urology  Site  Director  for  the  project  at  the  AVAMC.  The  project  involves  testing  pelvic  floor  muscle  training  program  for  urinary  continence  in  patients  following  prostate  surgery.  The  training  program  will  be  implemented  using  telehealth  format  through  a  Health  Buddy.  A  Health  Buddy  is  a  home  device  that  allows  for  remote  monitoring  and  supervision  of  pelvic  floor  muscle  training  exercises.  The  device  records  patients’  activities  and  progress  from  the  comfort  of  their  homes.  In  an  earlier  pilot  study,  patients  appreciated  receiving  the  training  in  the  privacy  of  their  homes,  and  felt  better  prepared  to  deal  with  incontinence  and  empowered  with  new  knowledge  and  skills.  The  study  represents  the  next  step  in  our  continued  commitment  to  help  patients  gain  urinary  continence  and  improve  their  quality  of  life.  The  earlier  study,  co-­‐authored  by  Dr.  Issa,  was  published  in  JAMA  in  January  2011.

Carney  Recognized  by  the  Atlanta  Business  Chronicle   H.M.  Cauley,  Contributing  Writer  Dr.  Jeff  Carney,  Chief  of  Urology  at  Grady  Memorial  Hospital  and  Assistant  Professor  of  Urology  at  Emory,  was  featured  in  the  Atlanta  Business  Chronicle.  Carney  grew  up  in  “a  blue-­‐collar  family  in  a  pretty  small  town”  where  his  family  lived  payday  to  payday.  Straight  after  high  school,  he  joined  the  Air  Force  and  worked  as  a  bomb  loader.  He  attended  pharmacy  school  and  obtained  a  doctorate  degree  in  pharmacology.  Most  would  have  simply  stopped  but  not  Carney.  He  went  on  to  chase  his  dream  to  become  a  urologist  through  medical  school,  urology  residency  and  three  separate  fellowships  (trauma,  reconstruction,  and  urologic  oncology),  after  which  he  joined  Emory  as  a  Urology  faculty  member  in  2001.  Carney  stays  grounded  by  remembering  his  roots  growing  up  in  a  family  of  mill  workers  outside  of  Rome,  Ga.  He  worked  as  a  pharmacist  to  pay  his  way  through  medical  school.  His  ability  to  connect  with  people  has  earned  him  a  reputation  for  an  outstanding  bedside  manner.  “It’s  very  important  to  have  a  good  bedside  manner,  so  much  so  that  they’re  actually  teaching  that  now  in  medical  schools,”  Carney  said.  “But  I  don’t  think  you  can  teach  it.  It’s  an  innate  gift.”  “As  far  as  his  abilities  and  skills,  they’re  second  to  none,”  said  Dr.  Pine,  Emory  University  critical  care  specialist.  “But  he  also  has  a  great  personality.  Everybody  wants  to  work  with  him,  and  he  spends  a  lot  of  time  training  medical  students,  nurse  practitioners,  fellows  and  residents.  If  I  call  his  cellphone  at  10  at  night,  he’s  still  at  the  hospital.  He’s  really  remarkable.”  When  Carney  isn’t  at  Grady,  he’s  often  donating  his  time  to  various  causes.  

Every  February  for  10  years,  he  has  traveled  to  El  Salvador  where  he  performs  pediatric  surgery.  He’s  now  planning  a  similar  excursion  to  Kenya.  “It’s  a  demanding  profession,”  he  said.  “But  it’s  what  God  put  me  here  to  do,  and  I  enjoy  doing  it.”  

Emory  Medical  Student  Sarah  Holzman  gets  Brendler  Award  The  Urology  Care  Foundation  awarded  a  prestigious  fellowship  to  Sarah  Holzman,  a  medical  student  at  Emory  University  School  of  Medicine.  Sarah  won  the  Brendler  Summer  Medical  Student  Fellowship  Program  award,  which  will  support  a  two-­‐month  study  with  Dr.  Viraj  Master  to  elucidate  the  molecular  pathogenesis  of  renal  cell  cancer.
