The Hugo RAS and DaVinci Xi systems are used for performing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This study aims to compare these two platforms providing granular comprehensive data on their intraoperative performance. Comparison of Outcomes Multiple Platforms Assisted Robotic surgery—Prostate (COMPAR-P) trial is a prospective post-market (clinicaltrials.org NCT05766163). Enrollment began in March 2023, allocating patients or RARP, without selection criteria, up 50 consecutive cases....
Abstract Literature meta-analyses comparing transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal approach to robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) suggested some advantages favoring retroperitoneoscopy. Unfortunately, patient-centered data about mobilization, canalization, pain, and use of painkillers remained anecdotally reported. The present analysis aimed compare RPN focusing on such outcomes. Study including baseline variables, perioperative, postoperative outcomes interest were retrieved from...
Herein we report our first experience with Hugo RAS™ proposing a mirrored approach different angles. Two experienced surgeons performed 10 prostatectomies (six the standard and four one). The median docking time was 12.5 (IQR 12-15) vs. 13.5 12-20) minutes. console 229 (174-245) 172 164-191) None of procedures required conversion to open surgery. study proves versatility perform robot-assisted radical prostatectomy two angles might be useful for novel users adopt preferred approach.
ObjectivesTo report the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based software to allow for autonomous fusion transrectal ultrasound and multiparametric magnetic resonance images prostate be used during transperineal biopsies.Materials MethodsThis study was approved by Institutional Review Board (protocol ID3167CESC). The automatic biopsy involved three steps: 1) Developing an AI component segment ultrasound; 2) anatomical structures in using labeled datasets from Cancer Imaging Archive...
Purpose We assessed the prognostic impact of 2012 Briganti nomogram on prostate cancer (PCa) progression in intermediate-risk (IR) patients presenting with PSA <10ng/mL, ISUP grade group 3, and clinical stage up to cT2b treated robot assisted radical prostatectomy eventually associated extended pelvic lymph node dissection. Materials Methods From January 2013 December 2021, data surgically IR PCa were retrospectively evaluated. Only above-mentioned features considered. The was either as a...
Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the impact of abdominal drain placement (vs. omission) on perioperative outcomes robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), focusing complications, time canalization, deambulation, and pain management. A prospectively-maintained institutional database was queried get data patients who underwent RAPN for renal masses between January 2018 May 2023 at our Institution. Baseline, surgical, postoperative were collected. Retrieved stratified based upon (Y/N)....
Abstract The study aimed to test if Briganti’s 2012 nomogram could be associated with the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression in European Association Urology (EAU) intermediate-risk patients treated robotic surgery. From January 2013 December 2021, 527 consecutive belonging EAU class were selected. nomogram, which predicts pelvic lymph node invasion (PLNI), was assessed as a continuous and dichotomous variable that categorized up median 3.0%. Disease defined biochemical recurrence...
Background: Treatment outcomes in intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) may be impaired by adverse pathology misclassification including tumor upgrading and upstaging. Clinical predictors of disease progression need to improved this category patients. Objectives: To identify PCa prognostic factors define groups patients treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Design: Data from 1143 undergoing RARP January 2013 October 2020 were collected: 901 subjects had available...
Hemangiomas, benign vascular masses, occasionally occur in the kidneys, presenting as rare, small, unilateral, and solitary growths. Venous hemangiomas, a renal subtype, are atypical. While clinically nonspecific, they typically asymptomatic may be incidentally discovered during unrelated clinical workups. Diagnosing hemangioma preoperatively is challenging due to rarity, lacking standard radiographic criteria, poor differentiation from aggressive neoplasms on contrast-enhanced imaging....
This study aimed to assess more clinical and pathological factors associated with prostate cancer (PCa) progression in high-risk PCa patients treated primarily robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) a tertiary referral center.
Chyluria, an abnormal lymphatic disorder, results in excessive abdominal lymph drainage into the urinary system, causing protein loss, nutritional deficiencies, and immune issues. Mainly linked to parasitic infections developed countries, non-parasitic causes like trauma or tumors are rare. Typically appearing adults with bilateral involvement, management options include conservative surgical approaches. We present case of a 13-year-old congenital chyluria, treated robot-assisted staged...
Objectives We tested whether the 2012 Briganti nomogram for risk of pelvic lymph node invasion (PLNI) may represent a predictor disease progression after surgical management in high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) patients according to European Association Urology.
