We aim to describe pre- and postoperative predictors of infection-related complications in individuals undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Patients treated with PCNL from 2009 2013 were reviewed. Patients positive urine or stone cultures received extended antimicrobial treatment. All others 7 days empirical therapy preoperatively postoperatively. Pre- infectious complication identified.We identified 227 patients who underwent primary occurring 37 (16%): 11 (5%) urinary tract...

Collagenase clostridium histolyticum is approved for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. To date, no post-release study to our knowledge has evaluated patient perceived outcomes and satisfaction. Therefore, we experience with collagenase injection disease in a clinical practice.From March 2014 July 2015, 69 patients underwent 1 4 series injections at institution. Objective changes penile curvature as well reported functional improvements were evaluated.By time analysis 31 (45%) had...

There remains a paucity of data regarding subjective and functional outcomes after artificial urinary sphincter implantation. Therefore, we evaluated long-term differences in quality life primary secondary surgery.Men were invited to participate mail-in survey assessing status, patient satisfaction control. Patients with (467) (122) devices without an event included the study. Differences between cohorts including (10-point scale, maximum 100) evaluated.Overall 229 (49%) patients 49 (40%)...

Abstract Aim Up to 10% of patients who undergo nonurological abdominopelvic operations suffer a ureteral injury. While preoperative stenting facilitate identification the ureter is common, it does not reduce incidence intraoperative injury and without risk. As we continue broaden application minimally invasive surgical techniques, new form avoidance that rely on tactile feedback needed. We report our initial experience with intraureteral indocyanine green (ICG) for during complex...

The limitations of lectures are magnified when teaching technical skills. A "flipped classroom" (FC) model allows learners to first review material and replaces with active teacher-learner engagement. FC has been shown improve knowledge retention, but its impact on skill acquisition is unknown. This exploratory study assesses the feasibility learner perception a for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) simulation. Urology residents participated in PCNL simulation curriculum. Residents...

Our objective is to assess the outcomes of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) diagnoses undergoing holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP).From 2009 2012, 450 underwent HoLEP at our institution. We performed a retrospective review these identify those PCa.PCa was diagnosed in 57 (12.7%) patients: 11 (19.2%) preoperatively, 43 (75.4%) operative specimen, and 3 (5.4%) during follow-up. Mean time PCa development postoperative group 16 months (9-23). There no difference patient characteristics for or...

We evaluate the characteristics of artificial urinary sphincter mechanical failures and compare outcomes based on surgical revision strategy, replacing only failed component or entire device.A total 1,802 male patients with stress incontinence underwent procedures from 1983 to 2011 at our institution, which 1,082 were primary placements. Of these 125 experienced device malfunction. Multiple clinical variables evaluated for a potential association In addition, we predictors failure revised...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early outcomes percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for clinical stage T1 (cT1) renal masses when performed within a high-volume practice with critical emphasis on procedural safety.A retrospective review registry identified 26 patients total 27 cT1 treated MWA between 2011 and 2017. Mean patient age 63.8 years 16 (61.5%) were male. mass size ± SD 2.3 0.8 cm (range, 1.1-4.7 cm). main outcome parameters investigated technical success, local tumor...

Prior to urethral reconstruction many patients with stricture undergo a variable period during which endoscopic treatments are performed for recurrent obstructive symptoms. We evaluated the association among urethroplasty delay, and subsequent reconstructive outcomes.We reviewed records of men who underwent primary bulbar from 2007 2014. Those prior urethroplasty, penile and/or membranous strictures incomplete data were excluded analysis. Men stratified by delay less than 5, 5 10 or greater...
