Purpose: Three-dimensional (3D) virtual models have recently gained consideration in the partial nephrectomy (PN) field as useful tools since they may potentially improve preoperative surgical planning and thus contributing to maximizing postoperative outcomes (1-5). The aim of present study was describe our first experience with 3D guidance for robot-assisted PN. Materials methods: Data patients renal mass amenable robotic PN were prospectively collected at Institution from January April...
Traditionally, open ureteral reimplantation (OUR) has been the standard treatment for primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) requiring reimplantation. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RALUR) is gaining popularity and high success rates have reported.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare minilaparoscopic (MLS) and open pyeloplasty (OP) in children <1 year terms intra- perioperative outcomes esthetic results. Materials Methods: Patients age, with prenatal hydronephrosis, who underwent Anderson-Hynes for monolateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) at our center from January 2016 August 2017 were enrolled the study. Outcomes evaluated as follows: operative time, length hospital stay, postoperative pain anterior-posterior...
The aim of the study was to describe surgical outcomes a series consecutive patients treated with robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction in single tertiary referral center.We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed data 292 submitted RAP performed from September 2011 December 2016 by four experienced surgeons. stenotic resected according Anderson-Hynes technique. Complications' severity recorded graded modified Clavien classification system.The...
Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of children submitted to robot-assisted reconstruction with or without drainage placement performed by a single surgeon in tertiary referral center. Materials and Methods: Patients reconstruction, including pyeloplasty for ureteral pelvic junction obstruction, end-to-end anastomosis retrocaval ureter, reimplantation vesical ureter reflux (VUR) from January 2016 November 2018, were included. obstruction selected surgery according presence symptoms...
Objective: Iatrogenic stenosis is a relatively common complication and it could happen after urological procedures in the entire course of ureter. The aim this study to report surgical outcomes 36 consecutive patients (period April 2013-November 2018) submitted robot-assisted correction benign stricture with previous surgery tertiary referral center.Methods: Elective criteria were have had ureteral development at least one procedure. Patients classified as failures event post-operative...
Zinner syndrome (ZS) could represent an uncommon cause of male infertility, as result the ejaculatory duct block, which typically leads to low seminal volume and azoospermia. A 27-year-old Caucasian man reported persistent events scrotal-perineal pain dysuria during past 6 months. The andrological examination showed testicular 10 ml bilaterally. Follicle-stimulating hormone was 32.0 IU/L, luteinising 16.3 total testosterone 9.0 nmol/L, 17-beta-oestradiol 0.12 nmol/L. semen analysis revealed...
Objectives: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been established as first-line surgical therapy for organ-confined prostate cancer (PCa). Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is recommended in case of intermediate and high-risk localized PCa however symptomatic lymphocele (SL) formation a common complication. Still no certain clinical predictors SL have found the robotic era. Aim this study was to identify after RARP PLND.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive...
