Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed in male. In South Korea, PCa incidence has increased significantly, while its mortality rate decreased steadily. To optimize distribution of public medical resources, it essential to analyze contemporary epidemiology PCa. National population data from Health Insurance Statistical Yearbook and annual report national registration statistics Korea were assessed. From data, incidence, prevalence, rates calculated. The presented with...
Retroperitoneoscopy assisted live donor nephrectomy has become standard based on our experience with 103 consecutive cases operated between January 1993 and May 2000. We describe the advantages of retroperitoneoscopy compared to laparoscopic nephrectomy.After performing more than 1,200 open (S. C. Y.), we combined surgery develop a specific technique minilaparotomy nephrectomy. Operations were performed by 1 senior surgeon assistant, help specially designed piercing abdominal peritoneal...
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of sildenafil 25 mg qd, bid or 50 qd – on treating lower urinary tract symptoms with benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH).Materials methods: Men aged > 45 years LUTS/BPH were randomly assigned to receive (n = 42), 41), 38) placebo 41) for 8 weeks. Changes from baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), maximum flow rate (Qmax) postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) assessed at week 4 8.Results: Sildenafil (-7.3 ± 5.8) (-7.0 5.7)...
To evaluate the prevalence of bladder neck contracture (BNC) and its risk factors in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy Korea.We analyzed data from 488 with prostatic cancer who underwent performed by seven surgeons hospitals, including 365 open prostatectomies (ORPs), 99 laparoscopic (LRPs), 24 robot-assisted (RARPs). Patients BNCs were compared those without to identify for BNC occurrence.Overall, occurred 21 (4.3%): 17 (4.7%) ORP, 4 (4%) LRP, no RARP. In univariate analysis, men...
To compare the clinical efficacy of anticholinergics for managing diabetes mellitus-associated overactive bladder (DM OAB) versus idiopathic (OAB) in Korean women.We conducted a multicenter, prospective, parallel-group, open-label, 12-week study. Women (20-65 years old) with OAB symptoms over 3 months were assigned to DM and groups. Changes Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), urgency, urinary urgency incontinence, nocturia, daytime frequency according voiding diary, uroflowmetry,...
WHAT'S KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? AND WHAT DOES STUDY ADD?: Incremental nerve-sparing techniques (NSTs) improve postoperative erectile function after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, there are no studies to date that histologically confirm the surgeon intended NST. Thus, in present study, we confirmed performed nerve preservation as his NSTs during RARP. Also, found was more variability fascia width outcome on left side compared with right. Therefore, when performing...
Aged 65-69 YearsProstate cancer is the most common type of male worldwide.Although radical prostatectomy (RP) advised for prostate in patients with a life expectancy more than 10 years by various guidelines, elderly men still do not undergo procedure regardless increasing expectancy.This study aimed to determine whether RP suitable aged 75 or older.A retrospective who underwent at 6 institutions between 2005 and 2012 was conducted.Patients were divided into 2 groups time surgery: (younger...
Objective: To determine whether radical prostatetomy (RP) is suitable for prostate cancer patients with age ≥75 years in comparison to primary androgen deprivation therapy (PADT).Patients and methods: A cohort study was conducted clinically localized of who underwent RP or PADT at six institutions from 2005 2013. Patients had less than 12 months follow-up, received neoadjuvant adjuvant were excluded. We compared clinical characteristics, cancer-specific overall survivals, post-treatment...
The da Vinci Surgical System (dVSS) has been reported to eliminate innate hand dominance of the surgeon. There are no studies date, however, that specifically address whether dVSS its own inherent "handedness" resulting from fixed left-right preference specific instrument docking and assistant positioning. We identified pelvic lymph node (LN) neurovascular bundle (NVB) dissections as well positive surgical margin rates procedure points during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) could...
Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity.Currently, the efficacy adjuvant treatment (AT), including radiotherapy chemotherapy, for penile remains unclear.Therefore, we investigated prognostic factors outcomes AT in consecutive patients who underwent penectomy at multiple Korean institutions between 1999 2013.Methods: was defined as administration radiotherapy, or both within 12 months after initial treatment.All were divided into...
Abstract Introduction: Hyperlipidemia has been associated with increased risk of advanced stage and high Gleason grade prostate cancer (PCa), yet the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Quaking (QKI) an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that regulate lipid metabolism. For PCa, QKI overexpression chance metastatic recurrence. Method: We performed RNA sequencing tissues hyperlipidemia (n = 12) normolipidemia (n=32). Tissue samples were acquired by MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy. DESeq2...
The present study aimed to evaluate the indications for a second prostate biopsy in patients suspected with cancer after an initial negative biopsy. included 421 who underwent repeat between January 2007 and December 2015 at three hospitals. Clinicopathological data, including patient age, body mass index, history of biopsy, volume, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, PSA density, velocity, fluctuation patterns, were analyzed. stratified into two groups based on first pattern...
To analyze the degree of psychological distress experienced pre- and postoperatively in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Two examples of the rare case complete duplicated collecting system with lower pole ureteropelvic junction obstruction are described. Ureteropelvic (UPJO) and systems seldom occur in combination. Complete duplication ureter may be asymptomatic or recognized when complications develop as a result reflux into upper an ectopic ureterocele. It is difficult to choose optimal therapy due high variability function, degree obstruction, damage potential for regeneration growing kidneys. The diagnosis...
Bladder urothelial carcinoma typically occurs in individuals their sixties or seventies: it rarely persons <20 years old. Moreover, young patients, bladder lesions are reported to be solitary and nonmuscle invasive, with low malignant potential. However, 13% of this age group noninvasive high-grade papillary but these extremely rare children <15 years. There is no specific consensus regarding treatment adolescent. In particular, method has been suggested for follow-up carcinoma. Therefore we...
Purpose: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are associated with high health and financial costs have increased as more elderly patients treated multiple medications emerge in an aging society.It has thus become challenging for physicians to identify drugs causing adverse events.This study proposes a novel approach that can improve clinical decision making recommendations on ADE causative based patient information, previous cases. Materials Methods:We introduce personalized learning detecting...
