To assess perioperative morbidity and margins after conventional clamped partial nephrectomy (PN) while also using volumetric analysis to differentiate the contributions of parenchymal volume loss and recovery from ischemia.The study analyzed 163 patients who underwent PN with appropriate studies to allow analysis of function and parenchymal mass specifically in the operated kidney. Recovery from...
To determine the relative effect of type and duration of ischemia and parenchymal volume preservation on renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN).Ninety-two patients with localized renal tumors (2007-2012) managed with PN at our center with necessary studies for analysis were included. This comprised 37 patients with a solitary kidney and 55 with a contralateral kidney. Thirty-five patients were...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein specifically expressed in prostate cells. Therefore, the expression levels of PSA in the blood are an important indicator when diagnosing prostate cancer. Defining the mechanism of PSA expression in prostate cells will be helpful for interpreting the expression of this protein during prostate cancer progression. Reports show that a membrane protein, claudin-7...
The detection of postoperative complications is a necessary quality-of-care endeavor. Despite its historical role, the Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conference depends on voluntary reporting and may be an insufficient mechanism for comprehensive complication surveillance. In response to this concern, we compared the concordance between complications voluntarily reported at the M&M Conference...
There is controversy concerning the management of small unilateral renal cell carcinomas. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the relative efficacy of radial nephrectomy versus nephron-sparing surgery in such patients.Patients with a single, small (less than 4 cm), localized, unilateral, sporadic renal cell carcinoma (IRCC) were identified from an institutional registry. From 1975 to 1992,...
