While robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) from living donors has been shown to achieve favourable outcomes, there is a lack of evidence on the safety and efficacy RAKT as compared with gold standard open (OKT) in setting deceased donors, who represent source most grafts worldwide.To compare intraoperative, perioperative, midterm outcomes versus OKT after brain death (DBDs).Data consecutive patients undergoing or DBDs at single academic centre between October 2017 December 2020 were...
Abstract Purpose Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) is a new minimally-invasive surgical treatment for patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). We report the perioperative and mid-term functional results of first 100 consecutively undergoing TPLA at our institution. Methods Clinical data from consecutive institution April 2021 to July 2023 were prospectively collected. Primary endpoints postoperative changes in IPSS, QoL MSHQ 3-item questionnaires Qmax post-void residual volume...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate the perioperative and long-term functional outcomes laparoscopic (LPN) robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in comparison radical (LRN) obese patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.METHODS: Clinical data 4325 consecutive from Italian REgistry COnservative Radical Surgery for cortical tumor Disease (RECORD 2 Project) were gathered. Only treated transperitoneal LPN, RAPN, or LRN Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, clinical T1...
To report the development of first robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) programme from deceased donors, examining technical feasibility and early perioperative functional outcomes at a referral academic centre.A RAKT was developed in 2016 our institution following structured modular training. Specific inclusion/exclusion criteria for both living donors were set. Data patients undergoing January 2017 to April 2018 prospectively collected an priori web-based data followed principles...
Abstract Background Aim of this study was to evaluate and compare perioperative outcomes transperitoneal (TP) retroperitoneal (TR) approaches in a multi-institutional cohort minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MI-PN). Material methods All consecutive patients undergone MI-PN for clinical T1 renal tumors at 26 Italian centers (RECORd2 project) between 01/2013 12/2016 were evaluated, collecting the pre-, intra-, postoperative data. The then stratified according surgical approach, TP or RP....
Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is increasingly performed at selected referral institutions worldwide. However, simulation and proficiency-based progression training frameworks for RAKT are still lacking, making acquisition of the RAKT-specific skill set a critical unmet need future surgeons.To develop test Box, first entirely 3D-printed, perfused, hyperaccuracy simulator vascular anastomoses during RAKT.The project was developed in stepwise fashion by multidisciplinary team...
The role of urodynamics (UDS) before surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) remains a debated issue in female urology as well urogynaecology and it has been recently questioned on the basis data coming from selected population patients defined "uncomplicated." aim this study was to investigate percentage "uncomplicated" undergoing urodynamic evaluations six referral Italian centers. secondary assess prevalence women, whom evaluation could add new information pre-urodynamic picture how...
The use of kidneys from "expanded criteria" donors after brain death (ECD) and uncontrolled circulatory (uDCD) has been warranted to increase the pool for kidney transplantation (KT). However, there is lack evidence on feasibility safety KT such in Italian setting.We queried our prospectively database select patients undergoing deceased (uDCDs, ECDs, standard-criteria [SCD] death) January 2017 December 2020, comparing perioperative mid-term functional outcomes.Overall, 172 KTs were included....
