The current study was performed to examine temporal trends and compare overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) or bladder-preservation therapy (BPT) for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.The authors reviewed National Cancer Data Base identify with AJCC stage II III bladder from 2004 through 2013. Patients receiving BPT were stratified as having received any external-beam radiotherapy (any XRT), definitive XRT (50-80 grays), chemotherapy (CRT)....
Study Type – Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Pathological stage, lymph node metastasis tumour grade have been established as prognostic factors for upper‐tract urothelial carcinoma, but there are few studies to date assessing location within ureter a factor. There also comparing surgical approaches radical nephroureterectomy (NU), partial ureterectomy endoscopic resection (ENDO) with regard oncological outcomes. This did not...
Patients living in underserved areas do regularly express an interest stone prevention; however, factors limiting participation, aside from obvious cost considerations, are largely unknown. To better understand associated with compliance submitting 24-hour urine collections, we reviewed our patient experience at the kidney clinic a hospital that provides care for urban community.A retrospective chart review of patients treated and/or ureteral stones between August 2014 and May 2016 was...
To specifically report perioperative characteristics and outcomes in patients 80 years older undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL has been established as feasible the elderly; however, to our knowledge no one reported feasibility older. We retrospectively reviewed data of octogenarians who underwent at a high stone volume single institution, matched them <65 age by burden sex. Patient demographics, postoperative complications were compared. Thirty-three (mean 83.6 years) with...

Objective: To determine if radiologically diagnosed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III). Patients Methods: NHANES participants aged 20–74 years who underwent hepatobiliary ultrasound were classified as with NAFLD (moderate or severe hepatic steatosis in absence of other known causes disease; n = 2498) without (controls; 9361). Risk caused by was estimated...
Purpose: To analyze preoperative predictive factors for intraoperative balloon dilation in semirigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from 397 consecutive lithotripsies performed 389 patients with ureteral stones at our institution during the calendar year 2010. Preoperative patient-related variables (age, sex, body mass index, history of urinary tract infection, previous stent placement, time initial presentation to intervention)...
Introduction: Herein, we describe our initial experience performing waterjet ablation of the prostate without electrocautery. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review patients undergoing Aquablation for benign prostatic hyperplasia between February September 2019 was performed. standardized perioperative protocol optimizing hemostasis implemented. The primary endpoint to define bleeding complications perioperatively up 30 days postoperatively after Aquablation. Bleeding included...
Background: Stone prevention is dependent on high fluid intake, with evidence that low urine volume (LUV) can promote nephrolithiasis in the absence of other metabolic abnormalities. Herein, we investigate patient-related factors associated LUV initial 24-hour collection an underserved population. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed patients treated by a single surgeon for from August 2014 to January 2019. Patients who submitted samples were divided into two...
Background: Aquablation is a relatively new minimally invasive technology for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that has shown significant promise in its clinical efficacy and utility. Larger prostates or with median lobe are common limitation to other options. There evidence maintains larger an intravesical lobe. Herein, we describe 3-month follow-up results patient who underwent large prostate Case: Our 72-year-old man lower urinary tract symptoms secondary BPH refractory...
