Dr. Beahrs has extensive urologic experience and has been very involved with the North Central Section for many years.
“Over my 30 years as a physician, I have seen many breakthroughs and new technologies in Urology. I believe that Urologix’ in-office minimally invasive procedures are certainly another excellent breakthrough for urologists.” stated Dr. Beahrs. “There have been significant improvements in both the technologies as well as the techniques used in these procedures. We can now offer our patients state-of-the-art office-based solutions which result in excellent outcomes for our patients and provide a great value for the patient, physician, and healthcare system.“
This workshop will highlight the advancements of in-office therapy over the past ten years and provide attendees with a unique opportunity to learn about Cooled ThermoTherapy™ and Prostiva® RF Therapy procedures from an experienced physician. Urologists will be able to discuss procedure techniques, review the latest clinical data, and see how the products work up close. Of special interest, Urologix, in collaboration with Dr. Beahrs, will be introducing an educational tool to teach a new technique for performing a periprostatic nerve block which Dr. Beahrs has used extensively to achieve excellent patient comfort with his in-office BPH therapy patients.

BPH, also known as enlarged prostate, affects the majority of men as they age and can create irritating symptoms which significantly impact quality of life. This disease continues to be predominantly treated with medications; however, research has shown that drugs are not always effective and can produce unpleasant side effects. Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy have proven their results through numerous clinical studies and are recommended treatment options within American Urology Association guidelines.
