BackgroundIt is difficult to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of biopsy for prostate cancer because men with negative do not undergo radical prostatectomy and thus have no confirmation findings.
Prior studies suggest that renal pelvic urine culture is a more accurate predictor of urosepsis. We prospectively determined the correlation between preoperative bladder cultures, intraoperative pelvis cultures and stone in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. also examined post-procedure risk factors for systemic inflammatory response syndrome.From February 2009 to 2011 samples from were collected Extracted stones sent analysis. Postoperatively closely monitored any signs...
Study Type – Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 OBJECTIVE To examine the functional outcomes after radical (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) stratified by variables before surgery, using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as is standard treatment for localized renal tumours, but risk developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed patients treated with PN or RN cancer at one institution from 1988 to 2008. Chronic...
Despite the important role of vitamin D in maintaining bone health, many clinicians are reluctant to treat deficiency kidney stone formers because theoretical risk increasing urinary calcium excretion. This study examined effect repletion on excretion among formers.Participants (n=29) were recruited from urology clinics affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital. Enrollment criteria included a history nephrolithiasis, between 150 and 400 mg/d, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin level <30 ng/ml....
While robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with shortened convalescence and decreased blood loss over open prostatectomy, little objective data available regarding postoperative pain/discomfort use of analgesic medications after RARP. We sought to examine these parameters in a contemporary cohort.From 2011 2013, patients undergoing RARP were prospectively enrolled study various pain carefully monitor opiate other medication while the patient recovered hospital. After...
Abstract The circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of hypothalamus regulates daily temporal organization behaviour and neuroendocrine function. molecular basis for rhythm generation is an interacting transcriptional/translational feedback loop comprised several ‘clock genes’ their respective protein products. Clock genes are expressed not only SCN but also numerous other locations throughout brain, including regions rich cells. In order to investigate whether cells...
Study Type - Therapy (case series). Level of Evidence 4. What's known on the subject? and What does study add? For patients electing surgical treatment, question effect delay clinical outcomes in prostate cancer is controversial. In this we examined from diagnosis to surgery men with localized found no association between time risk biochemical recurrence, even for longer delays high-risk disease. Men can be reassured that reasonable treatment will not influence disease outcomes.• To examine...
BACKGROUND We sought to determine maximum wait times between biopsy diagnosis and surgery for localized prostate cancer, beyond which the rate of adverse pathologic outcomes is increased. METHODS retrospectively reviewed 4,610 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy 1990 2011. Patients were stratified by Gleason score PSA value. For each stratification, χ 2 analysis was used smallest 15‐day multiple surgical delay (e.g., 15, 30, 45…180 days) significantly more likely after time interval...
Surgical management of a renal neoplasm in solitary kidney is balance between oncologic control and preservation function. We analyzed patients with mass undergoing nephron-sparing procedures to determine perioperative, oncologic, functional outcomes.A multicenter study was performed from 12 institutions. All or anatomic who underwent surgery for one more masses were included. Tumor size, complications, recurrence rates recorded. Renal function assessed serum creatinine level estimated...
Purpose: Urology is one of the most competitive specialties for residency matches in United States. Data reported by American Urological Association from match cycles spanning 2014 to 2021 reveal a median 0.34% (0%-3%) unfilled spots, 1.48 (1.28-1.87) applicants per position, and 75% (63%-87%) rate. Recent research has shown that program directors value applicants' highly. We sought assess productivity matched urology applicants, identify trends volume over time, investigate potential...
Background and Objectives:Handedness, or the inherent dominance of one hand's dexterity over other's, is a factor in open surgery but has an unknown importance robot-assisted surgery. We sought to examine whether robotic platform could eliminate effect hand preference.Methods:Residents from Urology Obstetrics/Gynecology departments were enrolled. Ambidextrous left-handed subjects excluded. After completing questionnaire, performed three tasks modified Fundamentals Laparoscopic Surgery...
