Underuse of partial vs radical nephrectomy for renal tumors was noted in recent population based analyses. An explanation is the learning curve associated with laparoscopic nephrectomy. We analyzed state trends surgery and their relationship to introduction robotic technology.We used Maryland HSCRC (Health Services Cost Review Commission) database identify patients who underwent or nephrectomy, ablation from 2000 2011. Utilization trends, patient hospital factors were using multivariate...
Radical prostatectomy has decreased prostate cancer specific mortality in men with clinically localized cancer. We report oncological outcomes of the longest running series nerve sparing radical retropubic on 30th anniversary inaugural operation.A total 4,478 underwent anatomical prostatectomy, as performed by a single surgeon (PCW), at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions from 1982 to 2011, without neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. During median followup 10 years (range 1 29), we examined...
What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Up to 35% of men active surveillance ( AS ) for clinically localized prostate cancer will experience biopsy reclassification during follow‐up. Currently, annual is recommended in programmes. Multiparametric MRI has shown promise identifying at risk immediate time entry into ; however, characteristics already enrolled who may be low disease have not been fully described. In present study, we describe findings a cohort within , with...
We report the case of a 68-year-old male with extension papillary renal cell carcinoma (Fuhrman grade III) along percutanous biopsy tract detected at time partial nephrectomy. Biopsy was performed to obtain tissue diagnosis complex cyst as patient unable receive intravenous contrast for imaging due severe allergy. Although indeterminate lesions can provide valuable diagnostic information, there are inherent risks associated this procedure. The rare occurrence tumour seeding should be...
Approximately 20% to 30% of suspicious small renal tumors are benign. A significant proportion malignant low grade and potentially indolent. We evaluated whether preoperative patient tumor characteristics associated with adverse pathological features.A total 886 patients underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, as done by 1 5 high volume surgeons. Demographic clinical data were compared between benign/malignant disease, clear cell/nonclear cell carcinoma high/low tumors. Tumor...
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a common treatment for patients with stone disease. One of the disadvantages this approach great capital expense associated purchase and repair endoscopic equipment. In some cases, these costs can outpace revenues lead to an unprofitable unsustainable enterprise. We sought characterize profitability our URS program when accounting endoscope maintenance costs.We identified all cases performed at single hospital during fiscal year 2013 (FY2013). Charges, collection rates,...
What's known on the subject? and What does study add? The ideal treatment for men with high‐risk prostate cancer is controversial, although most physicians agree that a multimodal approach, including radiation hormone therapy or without surgery, offers best chance of control. Minimally‐invasive radical prostatectomy has emerged as option clinically localized cancer; however, critics argue open approach may afford advantages tactile feedback better lymph node dissection. present demonstrates...
The success of gamified systems depends on their ability to engage players by eliciting both positive and negative emotions, but little guidance exists creating emotional experiences through design. This paper reviews work in psychology neuroscience highlight the interactive processes cognition emotion, describes relevance gamification. Drawing a model cognitive structure mechanics-dynamics-emotions (MDE) framework for gamification, this advances cognitive-emotional perspective gamification...
Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) is supplanting traditional (LPN) as the technique of choice for minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery. This evolution has resulted from potential clinical benefits, well proliferation robotic systems and patient demand robot-assisted We sought to quantify costs associated with use robotics nephrectomy.A cost analysis was performed 20 consecutive (RPN) LPN patients at our institution 2009 2010. Data included actual perioperative...
<i>Objective:</i> To determine the impact of stenting ureteroenteric anastomoses on postoperative stricture rate and gastrointestinal recovery in continent noncontinent urinary diversions (UDs). <i>Patients Methods:</i> We retrospectively reviewed clinical pathologic data 192 consecutive patients who underwent a radical cystectomy UD. Patients received either or UD with without stent placement through anastomoses. Stricture rate, recovery, length hospital stay,...
