“…Nowadays, prompt application of guideline recommendations cannot rely only on professional updating, but should inevitably involve the entire system of dissemination and advertising currently available. Social media seem to respond incredibly well to this need [11] , [12] . To analyze behavioral and probing discrepancies between recommended and actually adopted practices, surveys are useful, quick, and direct means.…”

Background Level 1 evidence supports the administration of single postoperative intravesical chemotherapy (pIVC) following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), in order to decrease intravesical recurrence risk. Objective The Young Academic Urologist Urothelial Cancer Group aimed to investigate the use of pIVC in daily practice among European colleagues. Design, setting, and participants An online survey was shared with European Association of Urology Section of Oncological Urology (ESOU) 2017 participants via e-mail. Submissions were accepted from April to June 2017. The topics for 15 questions of this survey included the habit of delivering pIVC, the choice of drug, its dosage, related doubts or concerns, reasons not to perform pIVC, knowledge of the evidence, and surgical preferences for RNU. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis Survey software was used for analyses. Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the association between surgeons’ experience and caseloads with pIVC utilization. Results and limitations Overall, 127 responses were collected (11.6%). About half of the participants (47%) regularly administered pIVC following RNU. The drug most commonly utilized was mitomycin (85%); 82% adhered to the standard dosage of 40 mg. Different administration protocols were adopted: ≤48 h (39%), 7–10 postoperative days (35%), >10 d (11%), and intraoperatively (10%). The evidence was supported by prospective randomized clinical trials for only 65% of responders. Among interviewees who did not deliver pIVC, the most commonly reported reasons were lack of supporting data (55%), fear of potential side effects (18%), and organizational hurdles (15%). Conclusions Our research highlights the limited use of pIVC following RNU for UTUC, raising the question of how the compliance with level 1 evidence in the urological community may be promoted.

“…Concrete advice that was given at a prior panel at the American Academy of Otolaryngology annual meeting 8 was to become intimately acquainted with your institution's guidelines on social media. Professional society guidelines are useful as a starting point as well 9‐12 . It should be pointed out that the otolaryngology leadership has not yet released any such guidelines.…”

The BJUI , European Association of Urology, and AUA have all published guidance regarding best practices for social media engagement, which should be incorporated into urological education in the future .…”
