Image guided endonasal endoscopic approach to different clivus pathologies.

Unlabelled: Different pathologies can affect the clivus region. Despite the challenging anatomical location and complexity of neuro-vasculature, the introduction of the endoscopic endonasal technique opens a new field in skull base surgery and recently represents a less invasive alternative for the surgical management of pathological lesions occupying the clival region. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the use of the endoscopic endonasal approach as a therapeutic approach for multiple uncommon pathologies presenting in the clivus region.

Robotic surgery for paediatric neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction: a systematic review.

Objective: To evaluate in a systematic review the outcomes, benefits, and limitations of robot-assisted surgeries for paediatric neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), as robot-assisted techniques have emerged as a potential alternative, offering enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualisation.

Methods: This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO identifier CRD42023464849) and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We included studies of paediatric patients (aged <18 years) with neurogenic LUTD undergoing robot-assisted continence surgery, assessing safety and efficacy.

Status of robotic surgery in pediatric genitourinary tumors: A systematic review.

Innovative surgical approaches are crucial in pediatric oncology to enhance treatment outcomes and minimize morbidity. Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has shown promise in both surgical precision and recovery in pediatric patients. This systematic review aims to address this gap by examining the current role and impact of RAS in managing pediatric genitourinary tumors, focusing on its feasibility, safety, and patient outcomes.

Awareness and Attitude About Ototoxic Drugs Among Medical Doctors in Arar City, Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness of ototoxicity among medical doctors in Arar City, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on a pre-formed validated questionnaire (Appendix) that included three sections covering participants' demographic data (three questions), their attitudes (five questions), and knowledge (13 questions) regarding drug-induced ototoxicity.

Results: After obtaining their informed consent, 213 physicians from government and private sector health facilities in Arar were enrolled in the study.

Intradetrusor Versus Suburothelial Onabotulinum Toxin A in Adults with Neurogenic and Non-neurogenic Overactive Bladder Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of submucosal injection of onabotulinum toxin A (OnabotA) with intradetrusor injection for overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).

Methods: This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021237964). A licensed librarian surveyed Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to conduct a comprehensive search.
