We retrospectively evaluated the records of 21 patients a mean 46.1 years old with ureteral stones that had been impacted for greater than 2 months to determine predisposing factors stricture formation.Between January 1993 and September 1996, were referred remained unchanged in location at least months. In 11 previous attempts stone removal failed. Each patient underwent successful extraction by retrograde or percutaneous antegrade ureteroscopy, laparoscopic open ureterolithotomy. Outcome...
Abstract The overall survival (OS) improvement after the advent of several novel systemic therapies, designed for treatment metastatic urothelial carcinoma urinary bladder (mUCUB), is not conclusively studied in either contemporary UCUB patients and/or non‐UCUB patients. Within Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, (2017–2020) historical (2000–2016) therapy‐exposed and, subsequently, were identified. Separate Kaplan–Meier multivariable Cox regression (CRM) analyses first...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to test for the association between paraplegia and perioperative complications as well in-hospital mortality after radical cystectomy (RC) non-metastatic bladder cancer. Methods Perioperative were tabulated in RC patients with or without National Inpatient Sample (2000–2019). Results Of 25,527 patients, 185 (0.7%) paraplegic. Paraplegic younger (≤70 years age; 75 vs. 53%), more frequently female (28 19%), harbored Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 (56...
During the last 10 years laparoscopy has been applied to treat most urological pathology including malignancies. There concern regarding peritoneal dissemination and port site metastases. We undertook a survey assess incidence of this occurrence.A total 50 international urology departments with experts in laparoscopic surgery were contacted for study. Each was asked complete 2-page volume procedures recurrences.Nineteen sites elected participate. A 18750 performed, which 10912 cancer. These...
To report the first application of ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) - a novel optical technology that is capable providing fast microscopic imaging unfixed tissue specimens- in urological field assessing its diagnostic accuracy for non neoplastic and cancerous prostate (prostatic adenocarcinoma) compared to 'gold standard' histopathological diagnoses.In all, 89 specimens from 13 patients with clinically localised cancer were enrolled into study. All underwent robot-assisted...
Objective To demonstrate the association between magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) estimated lesion volume LV ), prostate cancer detection and tumour clinical significance, evaluating this variable alone matched with Prostate Imaging Reporting Data System version 2 PI ‐ RADS v2) score. Patients methods We retrospectively analysed 157 consecutive patients, at least one prior negative systematic prostatic biopsy, who underwent transperineal /ultrasonography fusion‐targeted biopsy January 2014...

Background and Purpose: Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication technology to deliver healthcare. Telementoring has been developed allow a surgeon at remote site offer guidance assistance lessexperienced surgeon. We report on our experience during laparoscopic urologic procedures with mentoring between Rome, Italy, Baltimore, USA. Material Methods: Over period 3 months, two left spermatic vein ligations, one retroperitoneal renal biopsy, nephrectomy, percutaneous access kidney were...
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) remains a technically challenging procedure largely because of the lack methods for obtaining consistent parenchymal hemostasis. The objective this study was to determine if extent resection influences ability harmonic scalpel achieve hemostasis and define cases in which is appropriate LPN. Thirty LPNs were performed 25-kg domestic pig model. blunt blade laparoscopic (LaparoSonic Coagulating Shears; Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, OH) at power level 5...
We assessed the efficacy of laparoscopy in treatment renal and ureteral stones.Laparoscopic stone extraction was attempted 11 men 6 women 22 to 75 years old, including with calculi. Of stones 9 were associated a concomitant pathological condition requiring surgery. Four patients had multiple (2 93) size ranged from 2 60 mm. (mean 15.6).Stones 15 17 removed successfully via laparoscopic techniques. Operative time 2.33 6.35 hours 4.9). Prolonged operating times ancillary or failed procedures....
The prone position has been considered the only for percutaneous access to kidney past 25 years, whereas supine Valdivia recently started gain acceptance, although it was originally described in late 1980s. Even more recently, Galdakao-modified described. However, there is no consensus on which best nephrolithotomy, and choice currently based surgeon's preference.The prone, supine, modified positions are described, pointing out advantages, disadvantages, results of each technique.A number...
