To compare perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for hilar vs nonhilar tumors.The study retrospectively reviewed 364 patients with available computed tomography scans undergoing RAPN. Demographic data and perioperative outcomes results were compared between the hilar (group 1, n = 70) and nonhilar tumors (group 2, n = 294). Multivariate analysis was used to identify predictors...
To assess the complication rates and quality of life in patients eligible for focal therapy who underwent template-assisted transperineal prostate biopsy (TTPB).Eighty-seven patients with low-risk prostate cancer (clinical stage T1c-T2a, prostate-specific antigen level ≤10 ng/mL, biopsy Gleason score ≤6), who were candidates for focal therapy, underwent TTPB. The study details are available from http://clinicaltrials...
To investigate the correlation between prostatic calcification and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in a sample of middle-aged men receiving health checkups.Subjects aged 40 years or older who voluntarily underwent transrectal prostate ultrasound (TRUS) and fulfilled International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) as part of their medical checkup were enrolled in this study. The prostatic calcification...
To determine the involvement of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR9, and TLR2+9 in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Mice with gene knock-out of TLR2, TLR9, and TLR2+9 underwent renal I/R injury. Tubular damage, expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and kidney dysfunction were evaluated on different days after reperfusion.Mice deficient in TLR2, but not TLR9, were protected from...
To explore the prognostic and predictive value of baseline variables in 512 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer from the phase III Immunotherapy for Prostate Adenocarcinoma Treatment (IMPACT) trial who were randomized to receive sipuleucel-T or control.The most powerful of these prognostic factors, baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA), was subdivided into quartiles to...
To evaluate clinical complications after transperineal prostate biopsy in patients undergoing 12 vs 18 vs more than 24 cores.From February 2002 to December 2012, 3000 patients (median age, 66 years) underwent transperineal prostate biopsy after an abnormal result on a digital rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level >10 ng/mL, PSA values between 4.1 and 10, 2.6 and 4, and <2...
A 46-year-old woman underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for the treatment of endometriosis. Two weeks postoperatively, she presented with pelvic pain and vaginal drainage. A right ureterovaginal fistula was diagnosed with the assistance of computed tomography (CT) urography and nephrostogram.
