Stone was classified into four main groups: calcium oxalate (CaOx), struvite, uric acid (UA), and phosphate (CaP). We examined relationship between sex, age, geographic region, calendar month, season.The CaOx group (46.41%) largest, followed by struvite (29.66%), UA (19.61%), CaP (4.32%). The tended...
Abstract Background In the United States, rate of benign histology among resected renal tumors suspected to be malignant is increasing. We evaluated rates in Republic Korea and assessed racial effect using recent multi-institutional Korean-United States data. Methods conducted a retrospective study 11,529 patients (8,812 from The 2,717 States) compared between two countries. To evaluate effect, we divided into Korean, Asian US, Non-Asian US. Results small masses Korean were significantly...
Purpose: A seminal vesicle cyst in combination with ipsilateral renal agenesis is rarely encountered.We present cases of this disease entity symptoms, which were treated a laparoscopic approach as minimally invasive surgical treatment.Materials and Methods: We experienced 4 patients cysts agenesis.The mean age was 45.8 years.Chief complaints perineal pain hematospermia.Seminal remnant ureters excised by surgery transperitoneal approaches.Results: The operative time 133.8 minutes.The hospital...
To determine the feasibility and safety of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN), we compared operative outcomes patients who had undergone RPN with those laparoscopic (LPN).Between February 2009 June 2010, 13 underwent transperitoneal (group 1) 14 LPN 2) by a single surgeon. The 2 groups were using Mann-Whitney U Fisher's exact tests.All cases completed successfully without conversion to open surgery. mean time was 153.2±22.3 117.5±32.0 minutes in 1 2, respectively (p=0.003). console group...
