Impact of Hospital Volume on the Outcomes of Renal Trauma Management.

Background: Some health care systems have set up referral trauma centers to centralize expertise to improve trauma management. There is scant and controversial evidence regarding the impact of provider's volume on the outcomes of trauma management.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of hospital volume on the outcomes of renal trauma management in a European health care system.

Factors Predictive of Selective Angioembolization Failure for Moderate- to High-grade Renal Trauma: A French Multi-institutional Study.

Background: Angiography with selective angioembolization (SAE) is safe and effective in addressing bleeding in patients with renal trauma. However, there are no validated criteria to predict SAE efficacy.

Objective: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma.

Observation vs. early drainage for grade IV blunt renal trauma: a multicenter study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare observation and early drainage by ureteral stenting in patients with blunt renal trauma and urinary extravasation.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was performed including all patients admitted for renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Patients presenting with a urinary extravasation on initial imaging were considered for inclusion.

Morbidity, perioperative outcomes and complications of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant patients: A French multicentre study.

Objective: Evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficiency of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in kidney transplant recipients, performed in high-volume French referral centres, and describe intra- and postoperative, oncological and functional outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A multicentre study was conducted on prospective RARP databases from 5 centres between 2008 and 2017. We retrospectively identified a first group (G1) of transplant patients.

[Renal Trauma].

Introduction: Renal traumas are common, observed in 10% of patients with abdominal trauma. Most renal traumas are blunt, resulting from a direct hit or from an abrupt deceleration.

Material And Methods: We realized a synthesis of renal trauma management for nurses.

Outcomes of open artificial urinary sphincter in women with stress urinary incontinence: long-term follow up.

Background: The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency after a follow up of 10 years.

Methods: The charts of female patients with moderate-to-severe SUI who underwent open AUS implantation between November 1994 and April 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were operated on by a single experienced surgeon through an open retropubic approach with systematic bladder incision.

Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring.

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used for interrogating the fiber Bragg grating. Due to mechanical clearances and interferometric noise induced at this rotary joint, signal integrity is strongly deteriorated and is not workable without adequate measures.

Early discharge in selected patients with low-grade renal trauma.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether early discharge could be non-inferior to inpatient management in selected patients with low-grade renal trauma (AAST grades 1-3).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was conducted including all patients who presented with renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Exclusion criteria were iatrogenic and AAST grades 4 and 5 trauma, non-conservative initial management, Hb < 10 g/dl or transfusion within the first 24 h, and patients with concomitant injuries.

Contemporary assessment of the correlation between Bosniak classification and histological characteristics of surgically removed atypical renal cysts (UroCCR-12 study).

Purpose: To evaluate and compare pathological characteristics of renal cysts Bosniak IIF, III and IV in light of recent histological classification.

Patients And Methods: The French research network for kidney cancer UroCCR conducted a multicentre study on patients treated surgically for a renal cyst between 2007 and 2016. Independent radiological and centralized pathological reviews were performed for every patient.

Modified York Mason technique for repair of iatrogenic recto-urinary fistula: 20 years of the Montsouris experience.

Purpose: Iatrogenic recto-urinary fistulas are a disastrous complication of therapeutic interventions on the prostate. Many surgical approaches have been described to repair recto-urinary fistulas and no consensus has been reached regarding the better approach. The objective of this study is to present the results of our updated 20-year experience in the surgical management of recto-urinary fistula using a modified York Mason procedure.

Focal cryotherapy: step by step technique description.

Introduction And Objective: Focal cryotherapy emerged as an efficient option to treat favorable and localized prostate cancer (PCa). The purpose of this video is to describe the procedure step by step.

Materials And Methods: We present the case of a 68 year-old man with localized PCa in the anterior aspect of the prostate.

[French resident's performance on laparoscopic surgery box trainer: 7-year results of pelvitrainer contests].

Objectives: The study objectives were to analyze the resident's laparoscopic surgery performance in order to build a self-assessment data set, to identify discriminatory exercises and to investigate the suturing time changes.

Methods: From 2007 to 2014, the French Association of Urologist in Training (AFUF) organized 7 pelvitrainer contests. Participant scores on 11 laparoscopic surgery exercises were evaluated.

Primary CIC-DUX4 round cell sarcoma of the kidney: A treatment-refractory tumor with poor outcome.

The CIC-DUX4 sarcoma is a subset of the undifferentiated small round cell sarcoma family, presently recognized as a new clinicopathological entity. It is a rare and highly aggressive tumor usually arising in the soft parts of the limbs and the trunk. Only a very few cases of primitive visceral CIC-DUX4 have been hitherto described.

[New kidney transplants].

Chronic kidney failure and patients that require haemodialysis is increasing, mainly because of the increasing prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. Kidney transplantation is an alternative therapy for chronic renal failure in its terminal stage. Currently, in France and in the world, there is a shortage of kidney transplants.

[Flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy for kidney and ureter stone: indications, morbidity and outcome].

Purpose: To report our experience with Flexible Ureteroscopy-laser (FU-L) in the treatment of renal and/or ureteric stones.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 191 kidney and/or ureteric stones treated in the urology department of New Civil Hospital (Strasbourg) over a period of 2 years. Two hundred and nineteen FU-L were performed.
