The centrality-index (C-Index), preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomic (P.A.D.U.A.) classification, radius.exophyic/endophytic.nearness.anterior/posterior.location (R.E.N.A.L.) nephrometry schemes were developed as standardized scoring systems (SS) to quantify characteristics of kidney tumors. objective this study was establish reliability assess relationships between these three SS perioperative postoperative variables.A retrospective chart review performed in 101 patients...
What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Off‐clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is thought to preserve renal function by limiting warm ischaemia time (WIT) consequently reperfusion injury. To date, studies using off‐clamp technique represent a heterogeneous group, with limited follow‐up showing feasibility safety in restricted number of cases. We report largest experience vs on‐clamp LPN perioperative outcomes intermediate functional stratification WIT. OBJECTIVE...
To assess the relationship between surgeon (SV) and hospital volume (HV) on mortality after radical cystectomy (RC).We queried National Cancer Database (NCDB) for adult patients undergoing RC 2010 2013. We calculated average each hospital. Using propensity-scored weights combined groups with a proportional hazards regression model, we compared associations HV SV 90-day survival RC.A total of 19 346 RCs were performed at 927 hospitals by 2 surgeons in period 2010-2013. The median...
To evaluate whether elective off-clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) affords long-term renal functional benefit compared with the on-clamp approach.This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent LPN between 2006 and 2011. Patients were followed longitudinally for up to 5 years. In all, 315 radiographic evidence solitary mass normal-appearing contralateral kidney LPN; 209 performed vs 106 off-clamp. One patient required conversion from open PN was excluded study....
Multiple scoring systems have been proposed for prostate MRI reporting. We sought to review the clinical impact of new Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System v2 (PI-RADS) compare those results our Simplified Qualitative (SQS) score with respect detection cancers clinically significant cancers.All patients who underwent multiparametric (mpMRI) had their images interpreted using PI-RADS v1 SQS score. was calculated from prospectively collected data points. Patients positive mpMRIs were...
Background Achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has been associated improved overall survival (OS). This study was aimed at evaluating the impact of downstaging (pDS; ie, pT stage least 1 lower than pre‐NAC cT stage) on OS MIBC treated NAC. Methods The Retrospective International Study Cancers Urothelial Tract (RISC) and National Cancer Database (NCDB) were queried for cT2‐4N0M0 A multivariable...
To evaluate whether pathological downstaging (pDS) was more informative in predicting overall survival (OS) than complete response (pCR) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).The National Cancer Database queried high-grade cN0M0 disease who had received NAC. pDS defined as a decrease of at least one stage from cT to pT along pN0, including pCR. A multivariable Cox model OS generated by fitting alternatively either or pCR, and...
Objective To present outcomes of a randomized, patient‐blinded controlled trial on P fannenstiel laparoendoscopic single‐site ( LESS ) vs conventional multiport laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy. Patients and Methods presenting as left kidney donors between J anuary 2009 N ovember 2011 were randomized to nephrectomy LESS‐DN : n = 15) or LDN 14). blinded the surgical approach preoperatively attempts continue patient blinding postoperatively made by applying dressings consistent with...
Laparoscopic (LAP) and robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) approaches have been applied to ureteroneocystostomies (UNC) although such experience has limited a small number of patients follow-up. Herein, we detail our with over 100 minimally invasive UNC, the largest series date.All UNC performed at institution between 1997 2013 all open 2008 were identified. Perioperative parameters relevance identified recorded. Chi-squared ANOVA post hoc Tukey analysis for categorical continuous variables,...
To evaluate the utility of two ipsilateral ureteral stents placed for benign and malignant obstruction.We performed a retrospective analysis all cases tandem stent (TUS) insertion at our institution from July 2007 through January 2013. Student t, Fisher exact, log-rank test were used.TUS or exchange was in 187 cases. There 66 patients (75 renal units) who underwent successful TUS insertion. Malignant obstruction (MUO) cause 39 units (34 patients) vs (BUO) 36 (32 patients). Four with BUO 15...
