BACKGROUND: The role of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in the management renal masses has exponentially grown over past 10 years. Nevertheless, data on long term outcomes procedure remains limited. Herein we report oncological and functional patients who underwent RAPN for a malignant mass with median follow-up 7 years, longest to date.METHODS: A retrospective analysis an international multicenter database was performed. All consecutive undergoing surgery between 2009 2013 minimum...
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of robotic radical nephroureterectomy (RRNU) and laparoscopic (LRNU) within a large multi-institutional worldwide dataset. Materials Methods: The ROBotic surgery for Upper tract Urothelial cancer STudy (ROBUUST) includes data from 17 centers regarding 877 RRNU LRNU performed between 2015 2019. Baseline features, perioperative oncologic outcomes, were included. A 2:1 nearest-neighbor propensity-score matching with 0.001 caliper was performed. univariable...
Long-term renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN) is difficult to predict as it influenced by several modifiable and nonmodifiable variables, often intertwined in complex relations.To identify variables influencing long-term PN assess their relative weight.A total of 457 patients who underwent either robotic (n = 412) or laparoscopic 45) were identified from a multicenter international database.The 1-yr estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) percentage loss (1YPL), defined the...
Uroflowmetry (UF) is a crucial guideline-recommended tool for men with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Moreover, UF helpful decision-making the management of patients lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and hyperplasia (BPH). In last few years, telemedicine telehealth have increased exponentially as cost-effective treatment options both physicians. Telemedicine been well positioned during COVID-19 pandemic to prevent healthcare system overload ensure adequate through screening,...
Abstract Purpose This study compares the peri-operative and functional outcomes of three distinct surgical techniques in Thulium Laser Enucleation Prostate (ThuLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main aim is to assess whether En-bloc, Three-lobe, Two-lobe have differential effects on efficacy patient outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted patients undergoing ThuLEP BPH between January 2019 2024 at two tertiary centers. Propensity score matching utilized balance...
Partial nephrectomy (PN) has become the standard of treatment for most T1 renal masses and is suitable selected T2 cortical masses. In this setting, management complex (CRM) requires a thorough understanding potential risks benefits both PN radical (RN). Indeed, thanks to advent robotic surgery, indications have expanded include larger tumors CRM, despite associated surgical complexity oncologic risks. The decision-making process CRM with or RN complex. Thus, current review aims explore...
Introduction: Even today, despite technological evolution, erectile dysfunction remains the most feared complication after radical prostatectomy surgery expecially for patients who report pre-existent refractory (ED) and in whom there is a high risk of extracapsular disease, such as any cT2c or cT3, undergo non-nerve sparing (RP). To overcome this issue, Khoudary et al. performed first simultaneous placement penile prosthesis during open RP 1997, aiming at an early return to sexual function...
