Objective To investigate the peri‐operative and oncological outcomes of robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy ( RARP ) in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer PC a). Patients Methods We retrospectively reviewed records 79 a treated or androgen deprivation therapy ADT between 2005 2015 at our institution. Of these patients, 38 were 41 without local therapy. Oligometastatic disease was defined as presence five fewer hot spots detected by preoperative bone scan. evaluated outcomes,...
This article provides evidence-based recommendations and expert opinions to aid urologists in making optimal decisions regarding managing urolithiasis various clinical scenarios. The most frequently asked questions by their practice have been collected answered the form of FAQs; based on latest evidence opinions. natural history is divided into active treatment silent phases, with stage typical special situations peri-treatment management. authors address 28 key questions, offering practical...
To evaluate the surgical feasibility of laparoscopic adrenalectomy using lateral retroperitoneal approach for treatment large pheochromocytomas, and to identify preoperative risk factors intraoperative hypertension.We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent pheochromocytomas. Patient characteristics perioperative outcomes were analyzed compared between two study groups based on tumor size: group A (n = 27, ≤6 cm) B 24, ˃6 cm).There was no significant difference in except size (P...
The human body is sterile during gestation; however, but and after birth, the entire surface becomes host to an enormous variety of microorganisms. Urine in urinary tract was once considered based on lack cultured Many recent studies have revealed evidence microorganisms urine absence clinical infection. Sequencing methods analytical techniques are rapidly evolving improve ability detect bacterial DNA living bacteria understand microbiota tract. In women, fascinating associates with lower...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect preoperative chronic kidney disease (CKD) on prognosis patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).The median follow-up period 31.1 months (interquartile range: 16.2-55.7 months). Among patients, 224 in non-CKD group were selected via propensity score matching. recurrence-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival significantly shorter for CKD than (p = 0.001, p...
Purpose: Intravesical protrusion of the prostate (IPP) can affect voiding.We evaluated improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms and patient satisfaction after laser photovaporization benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with or without IPP.Materials Methods: This prospective study included 134 who underwent GreenLight HPS photoselective vaporization prostatectomy (PVP) between January 2010 July 2011 patient.Preoperative IPP was by using retroflexed view from flexible...
Background: To evaluate survival outcomes and prognostic factors for overall (OS) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who received sunitinib (SU) pazopanib (PZ) as first-line therapy real-world Korean clinical practice.Methods: Data of 554 mRCC SU or PZ at eight institutions between 2012 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.Based on the targeted therapy, divided into (n = 293) 261) groups, clinicopathological variables rates two groups compared.A multivariable Cox...
Background: To investigate whether addition of amikacin to fluoroquinolone (FQ) antimicrobial prophylaxis reduces infections after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB).Methods: A total 503 patients undergoing rectal swab were divided into three groups.Patients with FQ-sensitive flora (group 1, n = 248) administered ciprofloxacin before TRUSPB, and FQ-resistant either 2, 97) or 3, 158) TRUSPB.Results: Based on the swab, FQ resistance was 54.9%, extended-spectrum β-lactamase...
To assess the prophylactic effect of fosfomycin (FM) and ciprofloxacin combinations for infectious complications transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB) compared to that alone.In total, 1,578 patients were enrolled divided into two groups according antibiotics. Group 1 (n = 1234) received on day an additional 1-2 days, whereas 2 334) was given FM in addition same manner as 1. The primary outcome overall within month TRUSPB. secondary risk factors after TRUSPB.Infectious...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect music with noise-canceling headphones on men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB) in a prospective randomized study.From January February 2020, 94 underwent TRUSPB at our institution. They were divided into two groups and wore noise-cancelling headphones-group 1 (n = 47) did not listen group 2 listened music. We examined patients' clinical characteristics compared subjective measurements before after...
The most common metastatic sites of prostate cancer are the lymph nodes and bone. Ureteral metastasis from is very unusual only a few cases have been reported. We describe 76-year-old male with ureteral along review literature. Initially, based on diagnostic evaluation, urothelial cell carcinoma left distal ureter was suspected. Nephroureterectomy bladder cuff excision performed. final pathologic diagnosis to ureter. Although rare mechanistic link between distant has not clarified clinical...
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of enzalutamide in chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients using real-world data from Korean patients. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed medical records 199 with mCRPC at 13 tertiary centers Korea between 2014 2017.All received daily 89 concurrent androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Results:The median age was 74 years.Initial results showed that 81.5% had Gleason score ≥8...
Purpose: To compare surgical outcomes between the lateral and posterior approach for retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA). Materials Methods:We retrospectively reviewed records of 130 patients who underwent RLA adrenal tumors by a single surgeon January 2015 December 2018.Patient characteristics perioperative were analyzed compared two groups: (n=56) (n=74).Results: There no significant differences in groups except operative time (lateral approach, 105.4±41.21minutes vs....
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on health-related quality life (HRQOL) patients with prostate cancer (PC) and compare changes in HRQOL between ADT alone plus intensity-modulated radiation (IMRT).Patients PC were prospectively recruited October 2018 April 2020. European Organization for Research Treatment Cancer Quality Life Questionnaire PC-specific module (PR25) administered before (baseline) at 3, 6, 12 months after ADT. All received...
Abstract: Indwelling urethral catheter placement is a common and comparatively safe procedure. Misplacement of into the upper urinary tract unusual, only few cases have been reported. We describe case 43-year-old man who presented with oliguria had history chemotherapy for known metastatic lung cancer. As he no urological disease, catheterization was expected to be uneventful. The unable pulled back bladder neck once balloon inflated, patient expressed discomfort. Subsequent computed...
We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of hematologic parameters in differential diagnosis testicular torsion and epididymitis within after golden time.We retrospectively reviewed records 250 patients aged <25 years who were diagnosed with (n=119) or (n=131). The characteristics two groups analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves used validity as tools respect time (defined 6 h symptom duration). Further, we evaluated predictive factors associated orchiectomy torsion.The...
To assess the effect of ciprofloxacin (CP) and fosfomycin compared with CP amikacin in patients a fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant rectal flora who have undergone transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB).In total, 516 FQ-resistant based on swab cultures were divided into two groups according to prophylactic antibiotics. Patients both administered (400 mg, intravenous [IV], twice daily) same day as TRUSPB 1 after biopsy. The group (n=260) was single injection (1 g, IV) hour before...
