When Lou Oberndorf reflects on his time at UF Health Shands Hospital being cared for by Li-Ming Su, M.D., professor and chair of the UF Department of Urology, the word “miracle” comes to mind.
“Three years ago, we confirmed I had prostate cancer,” says Oberndorf, CEO and chair of Operative Experience Inc., a Maryland-based company that creates high-fidelity simulators for use in medical education. “Dr. Su performed my prostate surgery. Thank God, as of today, the surgery was a complete success. I describe Dr. Su as someone who saved my life.”
Oberndorf’s experiences inspired him and his wife, Rosemary, to establish The Lou and Rosemary Oberndorf Prostate Cancer Innovation Fund, which will support the addition of a new faculty member, Wayne Brisbayne, M.D., in the UF Department of Urology and increased research on new diagnostic imaging and therapeutic techniques in the fight against prostate cancer. Brisbayne, who is completing a urologic oncology fellowship at UCLA, will join the department in August.

It’s not a topic most men want to discuss, yet an open conversation is the first step to finding a solution for erectile dysfunction. No two men are alike and treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Don’t let erectile dysfunction affect your confidence and intimacy any longer.
Mr. Bergen Lemack a senior undergraduate student at the University of Florida College of Medicine, who’s been working in the UF Department of Urology Basic Science Laboratory since 2019, was awarded a 2021 Summer Student Scholarship through the Endourological Society.
His project entitled, “Investigations of a novel tea leaf for kidney stone disease prevention” will involve testing the concentration of oxalate from commercial tea products with and without a novel tea leaf that can degrade oxalate. If these leaves are able to lower the amount of oxalate in hot or cold teas, a therapy could be developed to allow kidney stone formers to drink tea without the risk of stone formation.
Please join us in congratulating Bergen, and good luck with your project!
A recent consult coordination questionnaire was sent out to UF College of Medicine faculty. Urology was a top performer as a consult service. Often during quality meetings the urology department is recognized for its excellent work. This recognition is primarily a reflection of the hard work, organization, caring for patients and attention to detail from our Urology Residents.
Some of our faculty say Thanks:
The UF Department of Urology would like congratulate Jennifer Kuo, MD for being this year’s recipient of the Outstanding Resident Instructor Award.
This award is sponsored by the Society of Teaching Scholars and consists of a gold pin signifying excellence in teaching, as well as a certificate. The award was presented April 7, 2021 by Residency Program Director Lou Moy, MD.
Dr. Kuo has demonstrated excellence in teaching when working with medical students, residents, and health care providers.
“Dr. Kuo has distinguished herself in educating fellow residents and medical students over the past five years. She has done this tirelessly in the operating room, inpatient floors, and outpatient clinic.”

The UF Department of Urology is recruiting participants for the 18-month “POuND OUT” study, one of only a few National Institutes of Health-sponsored drug trials aimed at preventing uric acid kidney stones.
Uric acid is a compound in all urine. It accounts for about 10% of kidney stones from a specific population whose urine pH is too acidic and results in the compound crystalizing. The current standard of care for a patient with kidney stones is to prescribe six to 10 doses of bicarbonate pills a day for the rest of the patient’s life, but adhering to that treatment can be daunting.
“A lot of uric acid patients struggle to maintain that regimen long term,” said Benjamin Canales, M.D., M.P.H., an associate professor and director of research at UF College of Medicine’s department of urology, who is facilitating the clinical trial. “It seems that we are masking the problem with a bicarbonate instead of trying to treat the underlying causes, which are obesity and diabetes.”

Featured Speaker: Kevin Campbell, MD
Kevin J. Campbell, MD, is urologist specializing in male reproductive medicine and surgery. Dr. Campbell began his medical education with medical school at LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. He then completed his urology residency at University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Following residency, Dr. Campbell underwent fellowship training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. His clinical interests include male factor infertility, erectile dysfunction, sexual medicine, Peyronie’s disease and testosterone management.
About 70,000 new kidney tumors are diagnosed in the United States every year, most of them found incidentally on a CT scan or an MRI. Most are small, <4 cm in diameter, and there is no reliable way to predict with imaging alone whether a kidney mass is cancer or not. Unlike other tumors that are amenable to biopsy, renal mass biopsy has a fairly high nondiagnostic rate.
“The reason it matters is that up to 20% of these tumors can be noncancerous,” explained Russell S. Terry, Jr. M.D., an assistant professor and director of minimally invasive surgery education and new technologies in UF College of Medicine’s department of urology. “If we remove people’s kidneys or part of their kidneys for 100% of these small masses, then up to 20% of the surgeries might be unnecessary.”
