Dr. Christine demonstrated his techniques for the implantation of penile prostheses, male slings for the treatment of urinary incontinence, and the artificial urinary sphincter (a device used to treat the most severly incontinent men); a total of 21 cases in 7 hospitals were performed. In addition, he spoke to a prostate cancer support group on his final night in Sydney. "The amount of surgery and work I did was tremendous, but the payoff came in the form of new friendships with so many fine people and especially in the form of e-mails from patients that I operated on who have done beautifully and are well pleased." says Dr. Christine. Most of the surgeries were videotaped and will serve as teaching videos for practicing urologists as well as urologists in-training. Dr. Christine will keep up his schedule of lecturing and surgery when he travels to San Francisco in October 2009 to present a surgical video filmed at St Vincent's Hospital (Birmingham, AL) "I have been asked to demonstrate my surgery for placing a penile prosthesis and a male sling under the same anesthetic to surgeons attending a meeting of the International Continence Society; lecturing and showing this operation to such a collection of doctors is a great opportunity to advance patient care.
