: The incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) after radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion (UD), the typical pathogens, and associated patient risk factors have not been well documented. In this study, we examined the incidence of post-op UTIs after RC to identify associated risk factors. : Single-center, retrospective case series of 386 patients with bladder cancer who underwent RC with UD between 2012 and 2024.

- Single-port (SP) robotic surgery is being compared to multi-port (MP) surgery to assess their effectiveness in robotic radical nephrectomy (RN), focusing on various outcomes like surgery time and recovery.* -
- In a study of 341 patients, the SP group (14% of the total) had smaller tumors and longer operative times compared to the MP group but similar overall safety and recovery metrics.* -
- SP robotic surgery may lead to shorter hospital stays and smaller incisions, despite longer surgery times, illustrating its potential benefits while maintaining safety comparable to MP methods.*
Introduction: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a tumor containing myeloid blasts, with or without maturation, involving any anatomical site other than the bone marrow. It can occur de novo or following a hematological malignancy.
Case: We report a 6-year-old female who presented with fever and a rapidly enlarging left thigh mass.
