BackTable Urology · Ep. 284 Integrating Gender Affirming Care Into Urology with Dr. Eric Walton · 13 Jan 2026 podcast

If they're calling about urinary retention, urinary retention is normal.

Yes.

And I think it's also helpful for me to, it's helpful when the staff is familiar with reconstructive urology patients in general, because I think reconstructive urology patients maybe call the office a little bit more than general urology patients.

And so reminding them that they're pretty similar to any other reconstructive urology patient and to treat them that way as well.

Yeah.

So, I mean, going based off of what I know from starting here at The Ohio State and knowing what it took to start the program at University of North Carolina for my mentor, first and foremost, the most important thing is being self-motivated and excited to put in the hard work to push something forward because it's going to take time and a lot of energy to grow a program.

It's also hugely important to find a group of collaborators and the other crucial specialties that are going to be able to help you move something like this forward and bring in more patient referrals and spread the word.

And then ultimately, if you can find someone like a nurse coordinator to really put all the pieces together, they're going to be the linchpin that helps the program grow and become as big and great as it should be.

Yeah.

I agree.

I do think it's a small community, but I also came from an institution that didn't do

gender affirming surgery and I was able to make connections to make it happen.

I think because urology and reconstructive urology is such a small field, anyone that you work with is going to know someone who knows someone who's doing gender surgery.

And

From everyone that I've met and everyone that I've talked to, we're all very willing to talk, have a conversation, to invite you to come see what we're doing, to open the door for you.

So I think the first thing, the most important thing you can do is ask someone that you know to help you get your foot in the door.

I mean, in my experience, yes.

I'm not going to speak for everyone, of course, but I'm always willing to talk to somebody and everyone that I've ever met

spoken to who does gender surgery is more than happy to have those conversations.

We want patients to get care as close as possible to them and to have as few barriers to getting the care they need.
