Background/Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers in men. While PSA testing aids early detection, it often identifies clinically insignificant PCa (ciPCa), which may not necessitate treatment. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scans have emerged as a promising tool to evaluate localised PCa. This review aims assess current evidence using PSMA for Methods: Peer-reviewed publications on PCa, from inception May 2024, were retrieved PubMed. The...
Objective: A new reusable circular stapler for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis (CEGA) has been used to substitute the traditional method of hand-sewn anastomosis. Methods: Over a 2-year period (09/1998–11/2000), was engaged on operations 112 patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma, and performed through both incision. The operative approaches were left thoracotomy in 85 cases, right 27 cases. results analyzed retrospectively. Results: All CEGA successfully who underwent resections,...
Hepatectomy has been the gold standard procedure for curative treatment of benign and malignant hepatobiliary lesions over a century. The aim this study is to report on 16-year experience single institution.All patients admitted Queen Elizabeth Hospital, South Australia, hepatectomy between 2001 2016 were included in audit. Data regarding demographics, tumour type operative outcomes prospectively collected. To identify trends, divided into four periods, each spanning 4 years (Period 1 =...
The optimal treatment of anastomotic leak after rectal cancer resection is unclear. This worldwide cohort study aimed to provide an overview four strategies applied.Patients from 216 centres and 45 countries with between 2014 2018 were included. Treatment was categorized as salvage surgery, faecal diversion passive or active (vacuum) drainage, no primary/secondary diversion. primary outcome 1-year stoma-free survival. In addition, drainage compared using propensity score matching (2 : 1).Of...
Metallic prostate stapling (e.g., UroLift) is a minimally invasive treatment option for men with bladder outlet obstruction from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While it provides rapid relief and preserves sexual function, unexpected interactions other medical devices can compromise surgical procedures. In this letter, we highlight five cases where stapled metallic implants resulted in damage to bipolar energy device during transurethral resection of the (TURP) stimulation obturator...

Background/Objective: Penile cancer is aggressive and rapidly progressive. Early recognition paramount for overall survival. However, many men delay presentation due to a lack of awareness social stigma. This pilot study aims develop convolutional neural network (CNN) model differentiate penile from precancerous benign lesions. Methods: The CNN was developed using 136 lesion images sourced peer-reviewed open access publications. These included 65 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 44 lesions, 27...
Abstract Background and Aims Immunosuppressive therapy is routine for adults with complex active Crohn’s disease (CD), however carries risks, particularly in the setting of sepsis. Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) widely used paediatric CD, yet efficacy data are sparse. This study evaluated outcomes EEN CD. Methods Between December 2016 June 2018, 13 patients CD (range 20–74 years) managed at a single hospital received 2 or more weeks EEN. Patients were offered based on either malnutrition,...
Abstract Purpose Ureteric stents placed after ureteroscopy typically require cystoscopy for removal. Stent extraction strings allow the option of patient self-removal. This facilitates shorter stent dwell time, and cost-savings. Concerns regarding safety limited evidence acceptability are speculated reasons infrequent clinical use strings. study investigates our recent experience using routine self-removal on to provide address these concerns. Methods In February 2020, hospital adopted a...
Abstract Background Reoperation for post hepatectomy complications is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We aim to describe the frequency, indications, risk factors reoperation after liver resection in a single centre. Methods Perioperative data 464 patients, who underwent elective from 2001 2020 at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital South Australia, were retrospectively analysed. frequency indications recorded. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed determine...
