We aimed to compare the outcomes of Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) performed using novel HUGOTM Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System with Da Vinci® Xi surgical system.Data from 38 women undergoing RASC for a ≥ 2-grade pelvic organ prolapse were collected (2021-2023).Overall, 23 (60.5%) and 15 (39.5%) procedures DaVinci® RAS system, respectively. The median total operative time was 123 (IQR:106.5-140.5) minutes versus 120 (IQR:120-146) cases (p = 0.5). No conversion open/laparoscopic...
Guidelines suggest less favorable cancer control outcomes for local tumor destruction in T1a renal cell carcinoma patients with size 3.1-4 cm. We compared cancer-specific mortality between cryoablation vs heat-based thermal ablation cm, as well ≤3 cm.Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2018), we identified clinical stage treated or ablation. After up to 2:1 ratio propensity score matching ablation, addressed relying on competing risks regression models,...
To assess the relationship between volume of index lesion (IL) measured at multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI; MRIvol) and radical prostatectomy (RPvol), stratifying it according to Prostate Imaging-Reporting Data System (PI-RADS) score.We identified 332 men with a positive mpMRI (single PI-RADS ≥3) who underwent systematic plus targeted biopsy subsequent RP two tertiary referral centres 2013 2018. All mpMRIs were reviewed by experienced radiologists using scores. The study...
Background: Female sex in patients treated by radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with more advanced stage and worse survival. However, studies supporting these findings mostly or exclusively relied on urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCUB) did not address non-urothelial variant-histology cancer (VH BCa). We hypothesized that female a survival VH BCa, similarly to UCUB. Materials Methods: Within SEER database (2004–2016), we identified aged ≥18 years, histologically confirmed...
This study aimed to test for temporal trends of in-hospital venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after major urologic cancer surgery (MUCS).In the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2010-2019), this identified non-metastatic radical cystectomy (RC), prostatectomy (RP), nephrectomy (RN), partial (PN) patients. Temporal VTE PE multivariable logistic regression analyses (MLR) addressing or PE, mortality with were performed.Of 196,915 patients, 1180 (1.0%) exhibited...
Background: In February 2021 Medtronic® (Minneapolis, MN) launched the HUGOTM Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) System in global market. The aim of current study is to describe first cases series and optimal setup robot-assisted pyeloplasty procedure, performed with RAS system a tertiary referral robotic center. Methods: Data from consecutive patients who underwent at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium) were recorded. Baseline characteristics, perioperative surgical outcomes collected. Results:...
Randomized clinical trials demonstrated improved overall survival in chemotherapy exposed metastatic prostate cancer patients. However, real-world data validating this effect with large scale epidemiological sets are scarce and might not agree trials. We tested hypothesis.We identified de novo patients within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database (2014-2015). Kaplan-Meier plots Cox regression models for differences between chemotherapy-exposed vs chemotherapy-naïve All...
