A new study has shown that teaching hospitals (those that take part in the training of medical students, physicians-in-training, or other healthcare professionals) have overall lower rates of complications following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
The research, recently published in the Journal of Urology, reviewed roughly 90,000 radical prostatectomies done across the United States and showed that, on average, men who had their surgery at an academic (teaching) hospital had less need for blood transfusions following surgery and shorter overall stays in the hospital.
