To compare the frequency of postoperative encounters in the 30-day and 90-day postoperative periods for various bladder outlet obstruction surgical therapies.All patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), GreenLight laser photovaporization of the prostate (GL-PVP) (American Medical Systems Inc.), and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) from January 1, 2012...
To present outcomes of robotic-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD) and technique modifications that may improve outcomes.Sixteen consecutive RABDs were performed at our institution by 2 experienced robotic surgeons. Charts were reviewed for patient characteristics, perioperative data, and long-term functional outcomes. Eleven patients (69%) underwent RABD using an external dissection approach,...
The da Vinci Surgical System has become extremely popular in the field of urology for procedures requiring complex reconstructive maneuvers, such as radical prostatectomy and pyeloplasty. A natural extension of these procedures is the use of the da Vinci system for complex urinary tract reconstruction deep in the pelvis, such as bladder diverticulectomy.In our report and accompanying Video, we have...
To determine whether urodynamic or clinical parameters can predict artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) outcome in patients who were incontinent after radical prostatectomy (RP). Incontinence after RP is secondary to intrinsic sphincter deficiency, but urodynamics have been advocated before AUS placement to detect factors that could limit surgical success.We reviewed all AUSs placed for RP incontinence...
To review the technique of transperineal saturation prostate biopsy and to update our results on patients at high risk of prostate cancer. A total of 210 men who met the study inclusion criteria underwent systematic transperineal ultrasound-guided template biopsy of the prostate. All patients had previously undergone at least one set of transrectal prostate biopsies and 170 (81%) had undergone...
Reports of spontaneous rupture of continent urinary diversions are rare. Management of the reported cases has been solely by exploratory laparotomy with primary repair of the defect. We describe 2 cases of spontaneous rupture of an ileal reservoir successfully managed nonoperatively.
