Objective: To compare the predictive performance of a logistic regression model developed with contemporary data from a diverse group of urology practices to that of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) Risk Calculator version 2.0.
Materials And Methods: With data from all first-time prostate biopsies performed between January 2012 and March 2015 across the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC), we developed a multinomial logistic regression model to predict the likelihood of finding high-grade cancer (Gleason score ≥7), low-grade cancer (Gleason score ≤6), or no cancer on prostate biopsy.
Purpose: To describe the drainage and differential function of the horseshoe kidney.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) nuclear renograms from 1991 to 2007 was performed. Nineteen patients with horseshoe kidney who had not undergone previous renal surgery were identified.
Objectives: To compare our experience with synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy using laparoscopic and open techniques. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the reference standard for management of benign unilateral adrenal pathologic findings.
Methods: This was a nonrandomized retrospective chart review of 12 known patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral adrenalectomy, comparing five laparoscopic and seven open procedures.
Objectives: To assess outcomes of robotic laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP) in overweight and obese patients, defined as those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 30 kg/m2 and greater than 30 kg/m2, respectively.
Methods: This was a nonrandomized study evaluating all of our RLRP patients. Patients were divided into three groups: BMI of 25 kg/m2 or less (group 1), BMI greater than 25 kg/m2 and less than 30 kg/m2 (group 2), and BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more (group 3).
Urologists around the world are doing more laparoscopy, with renal surgery being the most common procedure. Almost a third devote more than 20% of their practices to laparoscopy. Among those who do not use laparoscopy, lack of training and equipment are the most common reasons.

Materials And Methods: The survey was done via the Internet using the database for the 2003 World Congress of Endourology. Approximately 1100 surveys were sent, and responses were received from 193 urologists, who had been in practice for a mean of 9.
