LETTER TO PATIENTS

It has been sometime since I've seen most of you and even longer since I've had a chance to review our surgical results. This is the first of a series of updates. I will try to make them informative and personal, with advice that will apply directly to you.

I am grateful to everyone who has come to me for treatment, and I am committed to maintaining contact and involvement with all of you. This update summarizes where we stand after 500 operations. It presents overall results and proposals for long-term follow-up.

If you have suggestions on how this update can be improved in the future or questions, please call or write to me. I love hearing from all of you.

Sincerely yours,

Patrick C. Walsh, M.D.
Urologist in Chief
