Introduction: More than 25% of advanced practice providers (APPs) in urology suffer from burnout. We hypothesized that procedural independence would be associated with lower burnout, higher job satisfaction, and higher salary for urologic APPs.
Methods: The AUA Census data were used to conduct a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Objective: To characterize the trends in urethral stricture management using population-based health services data before and after the release of the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines. The management of urethral strictures has evolved with the increasing recognition of the poor success of repetitive endoscopic treatments, coinciding with mounting evidence demonstrating the durable success of urethroplasty. These management principles were further codified in 2016 with the publication of the male urethral stricture guidelines by the American Urologic Association.
