To report the prevalence of research misrepresentation among urology residency applicants and assess its effect on match success.All applications to the Columbia University urology residency program for the 2014-2015 match cycle were reviewed. “In-press,” “accepted,” and “submitted” manuscripts were verified using PubMed, Google Scholar, and journal websites. Misrepresentation for “in-press” and “accepted”...
To present a prospectively studied series of patients who underwent second-look flexible nephroscopy combined with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy under local anesthesia for residual stone removal after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Thirty consecutive eligible patients who underwent a PCNL procedure in the previous 48-96 hours were included. The inclusion criteria...
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 assess patients' perceived causes of prostate cancer (PCa) and relation to treatment satisfaction, an Internet-based survey study was designed. PCa is a profoundly personal disease, considering the location and common sequelae of treatment. Deeply held patient self-perceptions regarding the etiology of a patient's PCa may generate lasting beliefs that impact satisfaction with treatment selection...
A bifid ureter with a distal blind-ending branch is a rare congenital anomaly. Most patients are asymptomatic; only patients with complications, such as infection, vesicoureteral reflux, or stone formation, present symptoms.We describe the case of a patient with urinary stone located in the distal blind-ending branch of a bifid ureter diagnosed during transurethral lithotripsy. Preoperative noncontrast-enhanced...
To assess the long-term impacts of bladder neck incision (BNI) on continence and ejaculatory function of adults who underwent concurrent posterior urethral valve (PUV) ablation and BNI during childhood.A retrospective chart review was performed to find all adult patients with relevant history. All patients had undergone BNI at 6 o'clock proximal to the verumontanum with caution to leave the adventitia...
Conjoined twins are seen in approximately 1/500,000 live births, and therefore surgical management of urologic anomalies in conjoined twins has not been extensively reported. Various degrees of sharing of the urinary tracts and genitalia can be seen in different types of conjoined twins. Detailed preoperative imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and voiding cystourethrogram,...
To compare the surgical precision for optimizing nephron-mass preservation of tumor enucleation (TE) vs standard partial nephrectomy (SPN), with primary focus on functional outcomes. TE is presumed to optimize preservation of parenchymal mass and function but this has not yet been rigorously studied and quantified.Robotic partial nephrectomy patients who had appropriate pre- and postoperative studies...
To report 2 pediatric urology referral centers' experience on transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCCB) in patients younger than 30 years, focusing on age-related prognostic factors.Patients younger than 30 years affected by TCCB from January 1999 to December 2011 were investigated. Spearman's rank test and Kruskal-Wallis test were adopted for statistical analysis.Eighteen patients were identified...
To explore the feasibility, safety, and short-term results of potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (KTP-LPN) vs conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (C-LPN).Thirty large white female pigs were randomized to KTP-LPN or C-LPN. Laparoscopic radical right nephrectomy was performed, and an artificial renal tumor was placed in the left kidney in 3 locations....
To compare the therapeutic efficacy of transurethral resection (TUR) alone with that of TUR combined with therapeutic hydrodistention in patients with ulcerative interstitial cystitis (IC).The study subjects were 44 female patients newly diagnosed with IC who underwent TUR to treat ulcerative IC and who were available for follow-up, without recurrence of disease for 12 months. We retrospectively studied...
Squamous cell carcinoma arising from a urinary stoma is exceedingly rare, and none so far is reported from a cutaneous ureterovesical stoma. Squamous cell carcinoma usually occurs as a late complication of urinary diversion, and we report the first such case in a cutaneous ureterovesical stoma with a review of published literature.
