title: Telephone follow-up after urological surgery.
abstract: A significant minority of patients will require specialist advice or further treatment after undergoing a TURP. Nurse-led telephone follow-up provides such patients with easy continued access to a specialist centre. When setting up a post-surgical telephone follow-up clinic, issues relating to patient selection, staff availability and administrative support needs must be considered.
