Objectives To investigate the role of low‐intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy in treatment erectile dysfunction. Methods This was a double‐blinded, single‐center, prospective, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial. After 2‐week phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor washout period, patients were assessed with Sexual Health Inventory for Men, International Index Erectile Function‐ ED domain scores and Erection Hardness Score. Randomization into either group or sham took place. 9‐week...
Conventionally, standard resection (SR) is performed by resecting the bladder tumour in a piecemeal manner. En bloc of (ERBT) has been proposed as an alternative technique treating non–muscle-invasive cancer (NMIBC). To investigate whether ERBT could improve 1-yr recurrence rate NMIBC, compared with SR. A multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial was conducted Hong Kong. Adults tumour(s) ≤3 cm were enrolled from April 2017 to December 2020, and followed up until 1 yr after surgery. Patients...
Objective To describe a service delivery model and report the baseline characteristics of patients investigated by non‐invasive approach for ketamine‐associated uropathy. Patients Methods This was cross‐sectional study in prospective cohort who attended their first visit underwent investigations at dedicated centre to treat uropathy H ong K from D ecember 2011 J uly 2013. Data on demographics, illicit ketamine use, symptoms scores voiding function parameters were prospectively collected....
Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of robot‐assisted single‐port radical prostatectomy using da Vinci surgical system. Methods This was a prospective phase 1 clinical study prostate cancer patients undergoing Primary outcome measures included conversion rate 30‐day complications after surgery. Secondary operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, duration catheterization, final pathological outcomes number lymph nodes yielded at pelvic lymphadenectomy. Results From February...
Abstract Background Frailty is associated with worse outcomes and higher healthcare costs. The long waiting time for surgery a potential ‘teachable’ moment. We examined the feasibility safety of pilot prehabilitation programme on high-risk frail patients undergoing major elective surgery. Methods A single-centre, retrospective study (Dec 2020–Nov 2021) one-stop (structured exercise training, nutritional counselling/therapy, psychological support) in collaboration geriatricians allied health...
Introduction: To describe the medium-term outcome of robotic augmentation ileocystoplasty by posterior and anterior approaches in management contracted low-capacity bladder from cystitis. Materials Methods: Data on consecutive cases between 2011 2021 were prospectively collected reviewed our center. Retzius-sparing approach was performed anastomosis an M-configuration small bowel plate to posteriorly located U-shaped cystostomy. Conventional S-configuration The procedure as per conventional...

Patients & methods was retrospective review patients tertiary center who were prescribed for cancer from January 2018 to March 2023 after introduction territory. Demographic data collected, patterns reviewed. These included indication duration...
The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence upper tract involvement in ketamine-associated uropathy, and determine predictors hydronephrosis patients with a history ketamine abuse.This was cross-sectional prospective cohort uropathy. Data including demographics, pattern abuse, pelvic pain urgency or frequency (PUF) symptom score, uroflowmetry (UFM) parameters, serum renal function, liver function tests collected. Upon consultation, ultrasonography performed assess urinary...
We evaluated the factors associated with secondary hemorrhage after bipolar transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and vaporization prostate.The perioperative data patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were prospectively collected. Procedures involved included TURP, prostate, hybrid TURP/vaporization prostate. Secondary was defined as bleeding between 48 h 30 days postsurgery requiring hospital attendance or without admission. Risk analyzed.From...
