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...

Objectives To explore the comparative effectiveness of partial nephrectomy ( PN ), radical RN ablative therapies (ablation) and active surveillance AS ) for small renal masses SRM s; tumour diameter ≤4.0 cm) in domains survival, function quality life QoL using prospectively maintained Delayed Intervention Surveillance Small Renal Masses DISSRM Registry. Patients Methods Estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR was calculated from creatinine values to determine function. measured Short Form...
We prospectively evaluated the diagnostic performance of prostate specific membrane antigen targeted 18F-DCFPyL positron emission tomography/computerized tomography in preoperative staging men at high risk for harboring metastatic cancer despite a negative conventional evaluation.Men with clinically localized or very were imaged before undergoing radical prostatectomy standardized pelvic lymph node dissection. The scans interpreted by 2 blinded nuclear medicine readers and assessed...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia, the unintentional loss of skeletal muscle mass, is associated with poor outcomes in adult patient populations. In adults, sarcopenia often ascertained by cross‐sectional imaging psoas area (PMA). Although children chronic medical illnesses may be at increased risk for because nutritional deficiencies, physical deconditioning, endocrine anomalies, and systemic inflammation, consistent quantitative definitions are lacking. We aimed to generate paediatric...
Sarcopenia, reflected by decreased psoas muscle surface area (PMSA), has been identified as a novel and independent predictor of wait-list mortality outcomes in adult liver transplantation (LT). We hypothesized that children with end-stage disease (ESLD) would have smaller PMSA than healthy controls.Computer tomography images (ages 0 to 18 years) listed for LT 2015 control group comprised 2:1 age- gender-matched pediatric trauma victims were reviewed. was determined at 2 intervertebral disc...
<h3>Importance</h3> Active surveillance is recommended for patients with very low-risk (VLR) and (LR) prostate cancer. Despite controversy, recent clinical guidelines state may be considered men low-volume intermediate-risk (LVIR) disease. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare rates of adverse pathologic findings among VLR, LR, LVIR electing immediate radical prostatectomy evaluate criteria to define if a favorable group minimizing risk exists. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This was cohort...
