Prenatal hydronephrosis is one of the most common anomalies detected on prenatal ultrasonography. Patients with and ureteral dilation are at increased risk urinary tract infection (UTI) continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP) recommended. However, current guidelines do not define minimum diameter that would be considered a dilated ureter in these patients.We evaluate definition clinically relevant hydroureter, its association UTI, impact CAP.Patients from seven centers were enrolled into...
BackgroundAlthough hypospadias outcomes studies typically report a level or type of repair performed, these often lack applicability to each surgical practice due technical variability that is not fully delineated. An example the tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty procedure, for which modifications have been associated with significantly decreased complication rates in single center series. However, many fail specificity techniques utilized, thereby limiting comparison between...
Telemedicine has increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Our objective was to determine if patient satisfaction with telemedicine differed from in-person visits in an academic pediatric urology clinic. Following outpatient and visits, validated NRC Health© Patient Survey used assess experience. assessed on a 10-point scale scores of 9–10 considered “satisfied” 1–8 “not satisfied.” Satisfaction between groups were compared using McNemar’s test, Wilcoxon signed rank conditional...
Hyaluronic acid (HA) solution has the ability to coat and lubricate serosal surfaces, potentially prevent trauma during surgery, which can result in postoperative formation of adhesions abdomen. Previous animal studies utilizing HA have shown a reduction intra-abdominal adhesion formation. Human clinical trials are currently underway. The prevention could conceivably deleterious effects on bowel anastomosis healing. As result, solutions were studied rabbits determine their effect healing...
The use of autologous tissue grafts for tunica albuginea repair in Peyronie's disease and congenital chordee is often restricted by limited availability donor site morbidity, therefore new biomaterial options are needed. In this study, bi-layer silk fibroin (BLSF) scaffolds were investigated to support functional regeneration a rabbit corporoplasty model. Eighteen adult male, New Zealand white rabbits randomized nonsurgical controls (NSC, N = 3), or subjected with BLSF (N 5); decellularized...
To examine the prognostic value of tumor major histocompatibility complex I (MHCI) expression on survival and recurrence in patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC). Fifty-three that underwent nephrectomy at our institution for RCC (T1-T3) ≥4 years follow-up were queried from database. Immunohistochemical staining MHCI was performed specimens quantified an automated image analysis technique. Patients divided into high low groups order to study relationship between prognosis using...
F ree gingival autografts still remain the most predictable method for creating attached gingiva. However, a need exists sources of connective tissue other than patient's own tissue. Yukna et al. have proposed freeze‐dried skin (FDS) allografts as substitute autografts. The purpose present study was to evaluate FDS on humans, clinically and histologically. Ten two free (FG) were performed ten patients, them receiving both FG grafts. Clinical measurements made before surgery, immediately...
BACKGROUND The treatment of complex tumors in non-functioning renal transplants requiring surgical extirpation is challenging. Here, we report the largest series patients who underwent transplant radical nephrectomy for cell carcinoma (RCC) and nephroureterectomy urothelial (UCC) their transplanted kidneys. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 2004 to 2018, 10 (7 patients) (3 patients). Retrospective analyses, terms complications, oncological recurrence, survival, peri-operative long-term outcomes,...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> In this study we analyzed major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) expression as a potential prognostic immune marker for patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). <b><i>Patients and Methods:</i></b> 34 localized ccRCC (pT1-pT3) who had undergone nephrectomy at least 4 years of clinical follow-up data were included in the study. Immunohistochemical staining MHCI was performed on tumor sections. An...

541 Background: Most patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) initially present localized disease but a fraction subsequently develop metastases. Current predictive models of ccRCC recurrence are imperfect, suggesting need for additional predictors. Metastatic may be modulated by the immune system, that system plays role in tumor progression. Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) expression on cells is critical recognition. Here, we analyzed MHC and its correlation...
469 Background: After nephrectomy for clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) approximately one-third of patients develop metastases. Yet, with currently used prognostic tools such as the TNM staging and Fuhrman nuclear grade (FNG) system, it is difficult to accurately assess prognosis each patient. Here, we evaluated Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHCI) expression a potential immune marker in ccRCC. Methods: Fifty-five post-nephrectomy that presented localized ccRCC were included.
