To test whether cancer control outcomes justify the consideration of partial nephrectomy in patients with large tumors (Stage pT2 or greater) or high-grade tumors (Fuhrman grade III-IV) or lesions extending beyond the kidney (Stage pT3a). We abstracted the data for 8847, 11 547, and 5232 patients with tumors >7 cm, Fuhrman grade III-IV, and Stage T3a from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and...
To examine the effect of annual prostatectomy volume (APV) on contemporary intraoperative rectal laceration (RL) rates after radical prostatectomy. From 1999 to 2008, 36 699 radical prostatectomy procedures were performed in Florida. First, logistic regression models predicting the RL rate were fitted. Second, other logistic regression models were used to examine the association between RL and...
To examine the homologous blood transfusion (HBT), autologous blood transfusion (ABT) and intraoperative blood conservation technique (IOBCT) rates and trends at open (ORP) and minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP). The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried. Multivariable logistic regression models focused on all three transfusion types. Covariables consisted of procedure specific annual...
To evaluate the cystographic follow-up of patients with multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), renal agenesis, and renal ectopia with associated primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Patients with primary associated VUR (grade 2 or more) and with a minimal follow-up of 24 months were included in this study. Of the children with renal agenesis, 24% had VUR. The median grade of VUR was significantly...
