Abstract Background Surgery for catecholamine-producing tumours can be complicated by intraoperative and postoperative haemodynamic instability. Several perioperative management strategies have emerged but none has been evaluated in randomized trials. To assess this issue, contemporary outcome data from 21 centres were collected. Methods Twenty-one contributed patients who had surgery phaeochromocytoma paraganglioma between 2000 2017. The included the number of with without α-receptor...
Abstract Purpose To analyze recent trends of surgical access routes, length hospital stay (LOS), and mortality in kidney transplantation (KT) living donor nephrectomy (LDN) Germany. Materials methods We studied the nationwide German billing database quality reports from 2006 to 2021. Results There were a total 35.898 KTs. In total, 9044 (25%) transplantations, while 26.854 (75%) transplantations after donation brain death (DBD). The share open LDN decreased 82% 22% 2020 (− 4%/year; p <...

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Mit der Einführung Hybrid-DRG („diagnosis related groups“) zum 01.01.2024 sollen Anreize geschaffen werden, bisher stationär erbrachte Leistungen in Urologie, beispielsweise die Ureterorenoskopie (URS), ambulant durchzuführen und sektorengleich zu vergüten. Die Auswirkungen auf Versorgungsrealität sind derzeit unklar. Fragestellung Ziel Umfrage war es, ein Stimmungsbild zur Urologie erfassen erste praktische Erfahrungen sowie zukünftige Perspektiven beleuchten....
Background Due to its high incidence, prostate cancer (PC) imposes a burden on Western societies. Individualized treatment decision for nonmetastatic PC (eg, surgery, radiation, focal therapy, active surveillance, watchful waiting) is challenging. The range of options might make affected persons seek peer-to-peer counseling. Besides traditional face-to-face support groups (F2FGs), online (OSGs) became important, especially during COVID-19. Objective This study aims investigate utilization...
Introduction Randomized controlled trials comparing patients’ experience with open (OPN) vs. robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) showed no clear advantages for RAPN. This contradicts our clinical impression, so we analyzed a cohort that underwent both approaches bilateral renal tumors. The aim of study was to compare their intraindividual perceptions OPN and Methods Scar assessment evaluation patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were conducted. questionnaires retrospectively...
Background: The self‐insertion of superglue into the male urethra is an uncommon and challenging cause urethral obstruction, with only five reported cases to date. These demonstrate diverse clinical presentations treatment approaches. This report presents sixth documented case, reviews existing literature, proposes a structured approach for superglue‐induced obstruction. Case Presentation: A 51‐year‐old instilled his secure pintail comb inserted self‐stimulation. Upon forcefully removing...
To report contemporary epidemiological data and treatment trends for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in Germany over a 14-year period.We analyzed from the nationwide German hospital billing database cancer registry 2006 to 2018/2019. The significance of changes time was evaluated via regression analysis. Survival outcomes were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.There non-significant increase age-standardized incidence rate 2.5/100,000 2.9/100.000 2018. 13% patients presented with...
Radical cystectomy (RC) still poses a significant risk for mortality and morbidity.We compared in-hospital outcomes after RC in the United States -Germany using population-based data.We data from US Nationwide Inpatient Sample to German hospital billing database.

In-hospital was 1.9% 4.6%...
Proton radiotherapy has been implemented into the standard-of-care for cancer patients within recent years. However, experimental studies investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms are lacking, prognostic biomarkers needed. Cancer stem cell (CSC)-related biomarkers, such as aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), known to influence radiosensitivity through inactivation of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage repair, death. In a previous study, we found that ionizing radiation itself enriches...

Abstract Purpose The management of inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the most challenging surgical procedures. We aimed to define a minimum annual caseload for sufficient expertise. Methods identified all cases RCC, nephrectomy, and IVC procedures Federal Statistical Office billing database (2006–2020). defined hospital categories as low (< 4 cases), medium (4–9 cases) high (> 9 volume. Logistic multivariate models...
