I'm sure that's been difficult to maneuver, especially when you think about working with kids.
Yeah. So I know you've written a lot since you wrote this book, but just to focus on this book again, because it was something that really changed people's views into looking at global health and what really was important for the foundational aspects before going on mission trips. But you wrote this 15 years ago.
If you were to write another sequel to this book, what do you think are the important things? Maybe what progress we've made thus far or what the unique challenges that we have now in 2025?
Yeah, that's good. And tell us a little bit about what you're doing now, you personally, in the area of global health. You're still very active and moving things along.
Well, that is really amazing. I mean, as you mentioned a little bit earlier on that you retired from the University of Utah, and here you are in your retirement and still just as active as you were before. And I imagine you will remain that way. You've planted so many seeds over the years and really watched these things grow. And that's really your legacy.
It's really wonderful to see that in the area of humanitarian global health. Yeah I just want to thank you again for being our guest and just we're so excited to do this Society of Women in Urology legacy series and of course you were an obvious choice to start this off as you've touched just innumerable lives not only other women in medicine and urology but also men as well.
But then, of course, in the area of global health and your impact certainly will forever be sustainable. So thank you. Thank you so much. Well, that wraps up for today for Backtable Urology. Again, thanks so much, everyone, for listening. Until next time.
We know that TURBT procedure is critical in the care of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. With data that shows that CIS was missed by TURBT in more than 45% of radical cystectomy cases and 86% of residual tumors have been found at the original resection site, it's clear that enhanced visualization could be a significant benefit during TURBT's.
Further, with only 23% of patients coming back for re-resection, it's all the more important to do a complete TURBT right from the start.
Welcome once again to Backtable Urology Podcast, your educational source for all things urology, and then some. Backtable Urology offers many informative and entertaining episodes, which you can find on iTunes, Spotify, and of course, backtable.com.
I'm your host today, Dr. Suzette Sutherland, and I'm super excited to have Dr. Jair Santiago-Lastra with us today from the University of California, San Diego. She's here to discuss issues pertaining to the gender gap, the gender gap in medicine, and especially in surgery and urology. Why it exists, what are the common misconceptions or misconceptions
myths concerning why there is a gender gap and what perpetuates it and what can be done, what needs to be done in order to even the playing field in both medicine and surgery for compensation, promotion, and other aspects as well. So thanks, Dr. Santiago-Lestra for being here with us today. Happy to be back, Suzette. Thank you for having me. So a little bit about her.
She is Latina from Puerto Rico. She's a first-generation physician, surgeon, and urologist. She's an associate professor at the University of California, San Diego. She has been designated a rising star in our national organization, the American Urology Association, because she's very involved in a number of task force and committees. most prominently the AUA DEI Task Force.
She's also been involved in the DEI Task Force for our Society of Urodynamics and Female Pelvic Medicine. And she is the Society of Women and Urology Representative on Public Policy. So she's very involved in advocating for women and underrepresented minorities across the board in the area of urology. She's a member of Urology Unbound as well.
I forgot to mention that, which is also an organization that supports underrepresented minorities in urology. And of course, has a personal interest in health care equity for all patients. So this isn't just about the physicians and equity about the physicians and in the workforce, although that's a big issue, but also equity when it comes to patient care. So thank
It's really wonderful work that she's been able to do in our national organizations, and we sure appreciate all of your efforts. So thank you, Dr. Santiago Lastra, once again. Thank you so much. That was very generous. So let's dive in. I've had the great fortune of hearing you speak on this topic, the gender gap, before. So that's what we're going to be talking about here today.
I was very impressed with all of the data. You certainly know your stuff, and you had a great presence to be able to convey the issues in a very concrete way. So that's what we want to do today. So first of all, though, when we talk about gender gap, most often people assume we're talking about issues in compensation between men and women, maybe promotion.
And we'll dive into that, of course, in a minute. But I'd also like to talk about some other gender gaps that exist in the medical arena. between men and women that affect not only individuals, but populations of people too.
And that's things like the gender gap in funding for research in areas specifically that focus primarily on female-related issues, which leads to gaps in our knowledge about things that predominantly affect women. So can you speak to that, please?
Yeah, a very common thing that we think about in urology, of course, because we deal with sexual health, is how many millions of dollars have been spent and how much research has been done on male sexual function, erectile dysfunction specifically, and other issues with the penis that can go wrong.
