OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and outcome of potassium‐titanyl‐phosphate (KTP) Greenlight TM (Laserscope, AMS, Minnetonka, MN, USA) vaporization for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in prostates ≥80 vs <80 mL. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 204 consecutive patients were enrolled into this prospective study; 31 excluded from analysis various reasons, thus 173 (median age 66.8 years; 39 with mL) evaluated maximum urinary flow rate (Q max ), postvoid residual urine (PVR),...
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) performed in several German centres with different experience, as LA has become gold-standard approach for benign surgical adrenal disorders; however, solitary metastasis or primary cancer its precise role is uncertain.The data 363 patients who underwent a were prospectively collected 23 centres. All stratified into three groups according to their experience: group A (<10 LAs/year), B (10-20 LAs/year) C (>20 LAs/year)....
Background: The relationship between case volume and clinical outcomes is well established for most urological procedures but remains underexplored in prostate ultrasound/MRI fusion biopsy (UMFB). UMFB aims to detect clinically significant cancer (csPCa) by adhering detection benchmarks PI-RADS lesions identified via multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). These benchmarks, defined Ahmed et al., include cumulative rate (C-CDR) targets of >80% 5, >50% 4, <20% 1–3. Methods: This retrospective,...
Clear and accessible lay summaries are essential for enhancing the public understanding of scientific knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate whether ChatGPT-4 can generate high-quality that both accurate comprehensible prostate cancer research in Current Oncology. To achieve this, it systematically assessed ChatGPT-4's ability summarize 80 articles published journal between July 2022 June 2024 using two distinct prompt designs: a basic "simple" an enhanced "extended" prompt. Readability was...
The abundant potential arising from various applications of artificial intelligence is gradually influencing academic and scientific communication. This study examines the suitability ChatGPT‑4 for generating layperson's summaries (LS) articles published in four journals within European Urology family compares quality these newly generated LS with original texts. A total 327 on prostate cancer between January 1, 2023, June 30, 2024, were analyzed. patient using both a basic an advanced...
Post-void residual urine can lead to various complications, including urinary tract infection. Recently investigators calculated that a cutoff value of 180 ml has considerably high sensitivity and specificity for significant bacteriuria in asymptomatic men. We determined the association between post-void volume infection, validated suggested men.In prospective study we analyzed certain criteria 225 male patients, prostate specific antigen, volume, International Prostate Symptom Score, peak...
No large-scale comparison of the 4 most established surgical approaches for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostate obstruction in terms long-term efficacy is available. We compared photoselective vaporization, laser enucleation and open simple prostatectomy transurethral resection with regard 5-year reintervention rates.A total 43,041 male patients who underwent (34,526), vaporization (3,050), (1,814) or (3,651) between 2011 2013 were identified pseudonymized claims core data...
<b><i>Background/Aims/Objectives:</i></b> To evaluate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on complications and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Clinical histopathological parameters have been prospectively collected within “PROspective MulticEnTer RadIcal Cystectomy Series 2011”. BMI was categorized as normal weight (&#x3c;25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>), overweight (≥25–29.9...
Lymphocele is the most common complication arising after pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in setting of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The only data available until now on utility a peritoneal flap to prevent lymphocele were retrospectively acquired.A randomized, controlled, multi-center trial with blinded assessment endpoints was carried out 232 patients prostate cancer who underwent RARP PLND. intervention group given flap; control group, surgery performed without this...
OBJECTIVE To report a two-stage protocol for children in whom bladder reconstruction was followed by kidney transplantation, as about quarter of requiring transplantation show significant lower urinary tract dysfunction, and consequently their is unsuitable transplant. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve (median age 9.5 years, range 4.2-16.8) with end-stage renal disease had before transplantation. The cause dysfunction failure included posterior urethral valves five, neuropathic two, prune-belly...
