Many urology patients require office-based procedures that have significant anxiety and pain associated with them, due to the anatomical location of the procedure. Georgia Urology’s Dr. Brent A. Sharpe has identified the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide Delivery System as a potential solution for improving the in-office experience for not only urologic patients but for other surgical specialties.
This spring, Dr. Sharpe shared his considerable expertise in Pro-Nox with fellow urologists via virtual presentations.
CAREstream America “How Pro-Nox is Changing Urology” Webinar
Dr. Sharpe hosted a webinar on Thursday, April 30, on “How Pro-Nox is Changing Urology” with CAREstream America, for urologists and other surgeon specialists.
During the webinar, Dr. Sharpe addressed the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide Delivery System, the reasons and benefits for implementing the system into patient procedures, concerns doctors may have about its performance, and the results from a study that he conducted to prove its efficiency and success.
With the assistance of Cash Sterling, a resident physician at North Georgia Medical Center (NGMC), Dr. Sharpe collected data on patient satisfaction using 50/50 Nitrous Oxide during office-based urological procedures.
Along with relieving potential discomfort and anxiety, the Pro-Nox system allows for a faster recovery period and is a non-addictive option.
The current uses of the Pro-Nox system in urology include:
Vasectomy
Urolift (without prostate block)
Cystoscopy with and without dilation
Prostate biopsy
Small transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and bladder biopsy
Bladder/Prostate fulguration
Excision of skin lesion
