Automatic diagnosis systems capable of handling multiple pathologies are essential in clinical practice. This study focuses on enhancing precise lesion localization, classification and delineation transurethral resection bladder tumor (TURBT) to reduce cancer recurrence. Despite deep learning models success, medical applications face challenges like small limited datasets poor image characterization, including the absence lack color/texture modeling. To address these issues, three solutions...
Orchiectomy is the recommended treatment for many testicular conditions. However, prosthesis placement not always performed different reasons. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients’ opinions and impact on sexual function quality of life. This retrospective observational single-center study included patients who underwent orchiectomy between January 2014 December 2020 at Department Urology, Braga’s Hospital (Braga, Portugal), where implants were available decision undergo procedure was...
Purpose: The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is an important tool in assessing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) men with benign prostate hyperplasia. However, due to its limitations, alternative scores emerged, such as the Visual (VPSS). This study aims compare and correlate both questionnaires. Materials methods: Between August November 2017, 100 Portuguese patients suffering from hyperplasia LUTS were prospectively evaluated. Data collected included age, level of education,...
This study aimed to compare trainees' laparoscopic performance concerning the peg-transfer (PT) and needle-guidance (NG) exercises after watching original European Basic Laparoscopic Urologic Skills (E-BLUS) video or a video-mentored tutorial (VMT) with 'tips tricks', narration didactic illustrations.An experimental, unblinded, parallel, 2-intervention, 2-period randomized trial an allocation ratio of 1:1 was conducted. Forty-two participants were into 2 groups. Prior task initiation, Group...
Ureteroscopy (URS) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are traditionally guided by fluoroscopy, but the risks of exposure to ionizing radiation may present a matter concern for patients urologists. The aim this study was evaluate efficacy safety fluoroless URS RIRS compared with conventional fluoroscopy-guided procedures treatment ureteral renal stones.Patients treated or urolithiasis between August 2018 December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated grouped according use fluoroscopy....

Introdução: A exenteração pélvica anterior permanece uma terapêutica principal nas neoplasias uro-ginecológicas. Embora classicamente realizada pela mórbida via aberta, técnicas mini- mamente invasivas encontram-se em expansão. Contudo, complexidade técnica desta cirurgia com múltiplas etapas, ainda não é largamente quando a assistência robótica está indisponível. Assim, pretendemos descrever nossa laparoscópica, passo-a-passo, segura e viável, mesmo perante tumores localmente avançados,...
Radical cystectomy (RC) with ileal conduit (IC) remains a main treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Laparoscopy in this multistage surgery is quite demanding, so laparoscopic RC (LRC) intracorporeal IC (IIC) technically exceptional procedure. We aim to simplify it, demonstrating our technique, step-by-step. present 4-port LRC IIC and Bricker uretero-ileal anastomoses. The difference the immediate complete posterior dissection, similar "Montsouris approach" prostatectomy.
Introduction and objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed in men. Cognitive fusion transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy one of several modalities for diagnosing this disease. However, no existing studies have shown clear superiority image-guided technique over another. This investigation aimed to evaluate efficacy targeted through cognitive guidance, as well assess accuracy multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) detection PCa compared specimen...
The emerging use of endovascular therapies for acute ischemic stroke, like intra-arterial thrombectomy, compels a better understanding the anesthetic management required and its impact in global outcomes. This article reviews available data on treatment, comparing general anesthesia with conscious sedation, most used modalities, terms induction procedure duration, patient mobility, occlusion location, hemodynamic parameters, outcome safety; it also focuses state-of-the-art physiologic...
