Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate that while disposable cystoscopes might reduce waste and water usage, the overall environmental benefits of disposables versus reusables are unclear due to varying reprocessing methods.
- * The review highlights the need for improved strategies, such as better reprocessing of reusable scopes and conducting environmental audits in the healthcare industry, to decrease the carbon footprint of urological procedures.
Background And Objective: The role of anatomical factors in predicting outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains unclear. This review aims to evaluate the impact of various anatomical factors on the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing RP for localized prostate cancer (PCa).
