🔍 Can MRI Improve Urinary Continence Prediction Postprostatectomy? A study validates a model combining MRI-measured urethral length to enhance continence predictions post-surgery. 📏 MRI-Based Advantage - Urethral length adds predictive power for post-surgery continence 🗂️ Model Benefits - Yields 20 additional continent patients per 100 decisions 🔄 Continence Redefined - Works best when continence is defined as 0-1 pads/24 hours #ProstateCancer #Surgery #Urology tnyp.me/TELMHOdg/x

A pleasure to finally share our findings of a large RCT of radical cystectomy patients from 10 Canadian institutions. To our shock, TXA did not reduce transfusion. Thank you to the patients, collaborators, and the many research staff. @WesKassouf @mcisaac_d @CIHR_IRSC
