Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly with less than 200 case reports in literature. Triorchidism, the condition of having 3 testicles, is the most common presentation. We present an unusual case of a patient who was diagnosed with 5 testicles by magnetic resonance imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this rare presentation has not previously been reported in the medical literature.
Background
We sought to determine if idiographic, or self‐defined, measures added to our understanding of patients with bladder cancer's quality of life (QOL) prior to radical cystectomy (RC). We tested whether idiographic measures increased prediction of global QOL beyond standard (nomothetic) measures of QOL components.
Methods
We administered the European Organization for Research and Treatment...
To assess pediatric urologists' understanding and use of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) resources in clinical practice. HRQOL is becoming an increasingly vital part of patient care. Although HRQOL has been evaluated and instruments have been developed for its assessment for several pediatric conditions, it is underrepresented in pediatric urology.A SurveyMonkey 7-item questionnaire was sent...
To specifically report perioperative characteristics and outcomes in patients 80 years and older undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL has been established as feasible in the elderly; however, to our knowledge no one has specifically reported feasibility in patients 80 years and older.We retrospectively reviewed perioperative data of octogenarians who underwent PCNL at a high stone...
To determine the feasibility and safety of performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in high–cardiovascular risk patients remaining on aspirin therapy.We retrospectively reviewed all PCNLs performed by 3 fellowship-trained endourologists at a single institution between July 2012 and January 2014. All patients remaining on aspirin for imperative indications through the day of surgery were evaluated...
