Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT, have made significant progress. These particularly popular among health care professionals and patients, are transforming patient education disease experience with personalized information. Accurate, timely is crucial for informed decision-making, especially regarding prostate-specific antigen screening treatment options. However, the accuracy reliability of AI chatbots' medical information must be rigorously evaluated. Studies testing...
Objective To compare perioperative morbidity, functional and quality‐of‐life (QoL) outcomes in patients with partial cystectomy vs radical as part of pelvic exenteration. Patients Methods Retrospective analysis a prospectively maintained database exenteration (1998–2021) was conducted single centre. Study included postoperative complications, quality‐of‐life, stoma‐related outcomes. The 36‐item Short‐Form Health Survey Physical Mental Components, Functional Assessment Cancer...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to assess the quality and readability online webpages resulted from Google search regarding management phimosis paraphimosis. An internet with terms “treatment options” “phimosis paraphimosis” were conducted initial 100 reviewed. In total, 68 included for analysis while remaining 32, which journal articles, paywall or advertisement, excluded. Two authors independently reviewed analysed webpages. If there any discrepancies in scoring, a third reviewer would...
Abstract Background Tumor size is a critical variable in staging for renal cell carcinoma. Clinicians rely on radiological estimates of pathological tumor to guide patient counseling regarding prognosis, choice treatment strategy and entry into clinical trials. If there discrepancy between measurements size, this could have implications practice. Our study aimed compare the solid tumors computed tomography (CT) an Australian population. Methods We identified 157 patients Westmead Renal...
To describe a novel RoboSling technique performed at the time of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and its utility for enhancing urinary function recovery postoperatively.
Purpose: Biofilm formation and biomineralization on urinary catheters may cause severe complications including infection obstruction. Here, we describe an in vitro evaluation prospective pilot clinical study of a silicone catheter coated with biofilm-resistant polymer. Materials Methods: biomass uncoated were quantified by confocal microscopy using fluorescently tagged bacteria or stained for biofilm minerals. Biomineral identity was determined scanning electron X-ray spectroscopy. evaluated...
Objective: To assess the quality and readability of online information on holmium laser enucleation prostate in managing benign hyperplasia using most-used search engine worldwide, Google. Methods: Google terms “Holmium surgery” “enlarged prostate” were used to generate 150 results. Two independent authors (i) excluded any paywall, scientific literature, or advertisement (ii) conducted an assessment quality, which was based DISCERN, QUEST, JAMA criteria, readability, FKG, GFI, SMOG, FRE...
Bladder diverticula are herniations of the bladder mucosa through muscular layer and can be congenital or acquired. Acquired almost always associated with outlet obstruction. uncommon often asymptomatic, however, present non-specific lower urinary tract symptoms, haematuria, infection. We report a rare case large diverticulum causing extrinsic left ureteric compression in 37-year-old male high neck presenting as flank pain hydronephrosis. A incision successfully resolved voiding symptoms...

Extrahepatic metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a sign advanced disease with poor prognosis. Haematogenous to the urinary bladder extremely rare. We describe case 66-year-old male HCC that developed bladder. There have only been six reports previously documenting this. Uniquely this first develop metastatic after receiving both locoregional and systemic therapy.
Abstract Background Surgical bootcamps provide hands‐on learning opportunities for junior doctors and trainees in low‐pressure, non‐clinical environments. Participants develop skills, knowledge, confidence preparation their registrar years. A number of international urology‐specific have demonstrated improvements these technical non‐technical domains. However, there was no such opportunity Australian doctors. In the first urology bootcamp Australia, we aimed to assess participants' managing...
Urachal adenocarcinomas are rare cancers of the urinary bladder. Both CT and MRI useful imaging modalities for diagnosis evaluation urachal adenocarcinoma. Unlike or MR, there have been variable FDG PET findings with tumours potentially due to considerable variation in their hypermetabolism. We present case a 24 year-old female patient who was diagnosed mucinous adenocarcinoma characteristic features on which also exhibit moderately increased avidity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to report the outcomes from robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) at an Australian public teaching hospital since introduction technique in 2012. Methods: A retrospective analysis conducted on perioperative and pathological a consecutive series 43 patients who underwent RARC for bladder cancer between 2012 2020 Nepean Public Hospital.
