Abstract Background Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) involves the infusion of a saline solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine into tissues to achieve localized vasoconstriction. While use TLA in sub-glandular augmentation mammoplasty has been documented, we present modified approach for primary sub-muscular breast transgender patients based on our experience over past years. Methods Between years 2014 2021, performed 20 under conscious sedation. The tumescent consisted 25 mL 2%...
Abstract Background Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) describes the practice of injecting a very dilute solution anesthetic combined with epinephrine and sodium bicarbonate into tissue until it becomes firm tense to obtain vasoconstriction. The use TLA in augmentation intramuscular gluteoplasty has never been described for implants positioning. Advantages technique include reduction blood loss through epinephrine-induced vasoconstriction hydrostatic compression from tumescent effect. We...
Background and Objectives: to investigate the impact of age on renal function deterioration after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) focusing a decline moderate severe forms chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials Methods: This is single center prospective analysis patients who underwent RAPN. The outcomes include development de novo CKD-S 3a [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2)] 3b (eGFR 45 mL/min/1.73/m2). Multivariable (MVA) via Cox regression...
ABSTRACT Introduction We aim to critically assess Microultrasound (mUS) clinical performance in an outpatient setting, focusing on its ability reduce unnecessary diagnostic procedures, potentially reshape prostate cancer (PCa) protocols, and increase the rule out clinically significant (Gleason Score ≥ 3 + 4) PCa (csPCa). Materials Methods Between November 2018 April 2022, we conducted a prospective study involving men who underwent mUS examination due symptoms, PSA elevation, or...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant global health concern, ranking as the second most prevalent among men worldwide. Genetic factors, particularly germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in DNA repair genes (DRGs), play crucial role PCa predisposition. Our study aimed to assess patients' adherence targeted screening program targeting high-risk individuals with DRG PVs and evaluate potential reduction biopsy MRI rates by employing our protocol. We conducted prospective ongoing trial evaluating...
Urinary fistulas are a known complication that can occur after partial nephrectomy, potentially causing considerable morbidity if not properly treated. The present study examines the case of 71-year-old male patient who developed urinary fistula six months following robot-assisted nephrectomy. Initial efforts to address through placement double pigtail ureteral stent proved ineffective. Subsequent interventional radiology procedures successfully achieved closure by administering adhesive...
Background: The diagnostic process for prostate cancer after a negative biopsy is challenging. This study compares the accuracy of micro-ultrasound (mUS) with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) such cases. Methods: A retrospective cohort was performed, targeting men previous biopsies and using mUS mpMRI to detect clinically significant (csPCa). Results: In our 1397 men, 304 had history biopsies. more sensitive than mpMRI, better predictive value results. Importantly,...
Direct-to-implant (DTI) immediate breast reconstruction has proven to be an oncologically safe technique and linked better overall results. The introduction of new surgical techniques prompted us develop acellular dermal matrix fixation that reduces the rate complications implant loss.
Purpose: Smoking is a recognized risk factor for bladder BC and lung cancer LC. We investigated the enduring of after smoking cessation using U.S. national survey data. Our analysis focused on comparing characteristics LC patients, emphasizing status latency period from to diagnosis in former smokers. Materials Methods: analyzed data National Health Examination Survey (2003-2016), identifying adults with or history. (never, active, former) interval between quitting smokers were assessed....
Abstract Background The objective of this study was to quantify disparities in cancer treatment delivery between minority‐serving hospitals (MSHs) and non‐MSHs for breast, prostate, nonsmall cell lung, colon cancers from 2010 2019 estimate the impact improving care at MSHs on national disparities. Methods Data National Cancer Database (2010–2019) identified patients who were eligible definitive treatments specified cancers. Hospitals top decile by minority patient proportion classified as...
The integration of neck liposuction with FaceTite Manipulus Radiofrequency (RF) technology and buccal fat pad excision for enhanced rejuvenation promise heightened precision efficacy in sculpting the jawline. Neck liposuction, coupled RF technology, provides controlled thermal energy adipose tissue treatment collagen remodeling, while offers refined contouring lower face neck. This integrated approach aims to optimize patient outcomes advance field esthetic plastic surgery.
Despite increasing attention to financial toxicity associated with prostate cancer, national rates of subjective and objective have not been well characterized, it remains unknown which cancer survivors are at highest risk for undue burden.Men a history were identified from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The proportion men reporting catastrophic health care expenditures (out-of-pocket spending >10% income) other measures assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was used identify...
Management of small renal masses often involves a nonoperative approach, but there is paucity information about the use and associated predictors such approaches. This study aimed to determine trends in management masses.Using data from National Cancer Database for localized (N0/M0, cT1a) diagnosed between 2010 2020, we conducted cross-sectional study. Nonoperative was defined as expectant (active surveillance or watchful waiting) focal ablation. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) were calculated...
