<h3>Importance</h3> Resource limitations because of pandemic or other stresses on infrastructure necessitate the triage time-sensitive care, including cancer treatments. Optimal time to treatment is underexplored, so recommendations for which treatments can be deferred are often based expert opinion. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate association between increased definitive therapy and mortality as a function type stage 4 most prevalent cancers in US. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This...
Several barriers prevent the integration and adoption of augmented reality (AR) in robotic renal surgery despite increased availability virtual three-dimensional (3D) models. Apart from correct model alignment deformation, not all instruments are clearly visible AR. Superimposition a 3D on top surgical stream, including instruments, can result potentially hazardous situation. We demonstrate real-time instrument detection during AR-guided robot-assisted partial nephrectomy show generalization...
There is ongoing controversy about the adverse events of finasteride, a drug used in management alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In 2012, reports started emerging on men who had finasteride either attempted or completed suicide.To investigate association suicidality (ideation, attempt, suicide) psychological (depression anxiety) with use.This pharmacovigilance case-noncase study disproportionality analysis (case-noncase design) to detect signals reaction interest reported...

Introduction and Hypothesis: Robotic sacropexy (RSC) emerged in the last years as a valid alternative to laparoscopic technique. However, robotic approach is still limited by platform availability concerns about cost-effectiveness. Recently, new platforms joined market, lowering costs offering possibility expand approach. The aim of our study was demonstrate technical feasibility safety procedure with this along description surgical setting. Materials Methods: We reported data on first five...
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has demonstrated better peri-operative outcomes as compared to open prostatectomy. However, RASP is still limited by platform availability and cost-effectiveness issues. The new surgical robots increasing competition may spread the robotic approach also in non-oncological fields. We reported first executed Europe at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium) performed with novel HUGO™ Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System. consists of four independent carts, an...

Background and Objectives: to investigate the impact of age on renal function deterioration after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) focusing a decline moderate severe forms chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials Methods: This is single center prospective analysis patients who underwent RAPN. The outcomes include development de novo CKD-S 3a [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2)] 3b (eGFR 45 mL/min/1.73/m2). Multivariable (MVA) via Cox regression...
Recently, the European Association of Urology Guidelines Panel updated prognostic factor risk groups model for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with introduction a new group patients at very high (VHR). Furthermore, three additional clinical factors (i.e., age>70 years, multiple papillary tumors; tumor diameter >3 cm) were proposed. However, scoring was created by analyzing data from who did not receive BCG intravesical therapy.This is retrospective multicenter study 920 HGT1 NMIBC...
We aimed to compare the outcomes of Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) performed using novel HUGOTM Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System with Da Vinci® Xi surgical system.Data from 38 women undergoing RASC for a ≥ 2-grade pelvic organ prolapse were collected (2021-2023).Overall, 23 (60.5%) and 15 (39.5%) procedures DaVinci® RAS system, respectively. The median total operative time was 123 (IQR:106.5-140.5) minutes versus 120 (IQR:120-146) cases (p = 0.5). No conversion open/laparoscopic...
ABSTRACT Introduction We aim to critically assess Microultrasound (mUS) clinical performance in an outpatient setting, focusing on its ability reduce unnecessary diagnostic procedures, potentially reshape prostate cancer (PCa) protocols, and increase the rule out clinically significant (Gleason Score ≥ 3 + 4) PCa (csPCa). Materials Methods Between November 2018 April 2022, we conducted a prospective study involving men who underwent mUS examination due symptoms, PSA elevation, or...
To investigate the effects of a home-based pelvic floor muscle training with and without action cue observation on urinary incontinence after prostatectomy. Two-armed single-blind randomized controlled trial. Humanitas Research Hospital, Milan, Italy. Ninety-two participants age between 40 80 years robot-assisted laparoscopic Participants were into an (n = 46) or control group undergoing 8-week training. Action observed video clips showing exercises synchronized visual indicating correct...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant global health concern, ranking as the second most prevalent among men worldwide. Genetic factors, particularly germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in DNA repair genes (DRGs), play crucial role PCa predisposition. Our study aimed to assess patients' adherence targeted screening program targeting high-risk individuals with DRG PVs and evaluate potential reduction biopsy MRI rates by employing our protocol. We conducted prospective ongoing trial evaluating...
683 Background: In 2021 we started an enhanced PCa screening in healthy Caucasian men with germline DNA repair pathogenic variants. Over 109 enrolled men, found two naïve patients bladder cancer (BC), but none PCa. This observation prompted us to investigate the prevalence of variants BC and suggest genetic counselling, testing for relatives subject BC. Methods: is a prospective ongoing study aiming detect, by exome analysis, (PV), likely (LPV) variant unknown significance (VUS) attending...
