To prospectively compare outcomes during robotic prostatectomy between surgeons with formal training in either robotic prostatectomy (RALP) or laparoscopic prostatectomy (LRP).A total of 286 robotic prostatectomies were performed by 12 urologists between August 2008 and March 2009 as part of a new robotic surgery program at one of the largest health maintenance organizations in the United States....
Objectives. To report our experience with intraoperative frozen section (IFS) analysis in patients who are potential candidates for nerve-sparing surgery. Potency can be maintained in select patients who undergo radical prostatectomy using a nerve-sparing approach. However, extracapsular disease extension in the area of the neurovascular bundles may compromise adequate surgical margins in some patients...
Objectives. To compare the radial and axial forces produced by balloon, Amplatz, and radially expanding single-step nephrostomy (RESN) systems and report our initial clinical results using the new RESN device. Balloon, Amplatz, and Alken dilators are commonly used to establish nephrostomy tracts in percutaneous surgery. They require multiple steps, with the potential for kinking and displacement of...
We hypothesized that alterations in Y chromosome gene expression may be associated with prostate cancer. To test this hypothesis we analyzed the expression of 19 Y chromosome genes in benign and malignant prostate tissue. To study the expression of Y chromosome genes RNA was extracted from prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissue as well as from prostate cancer cell lines....
Objectives. To define patterns of treatment among contemporary patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, interstitial radiation, and external beam radiation for prostate cancer.Methods. We analyzed 291 consecutive patients (Stage T1-T3NXM0) who underwent definitive local treatment for prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy, interstitial seed implantation, or external beam radiation. Patients...
