3D modeling in adherent perinephric fat prediction in nephron-sparing surgery planning in patients with localized renal neoplasms.

Study Objective: To develop a 3D-image based morphometry scoring system for Adherent Perinephric Fat (APF) prediction in nephron-sparing surgery in renal neoplasm patients.

Materials And Methods: The retrospective study involved 391 patients who underwent a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy performed by five surgeons from January 2014 till December 2018. The surgery involved the 3D virtual operation planning with «Amira» 3D modeling software.

Holter Monitoring (24-Hour ECG) Parameter Dynamics in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Introduction: This study examined the dynamics of 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring parameters (Holter monitoring) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) before and after conservative or surgical treatment of patients with voiding and storage lower urinary tract symptoms (LTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: A total of eighty-three 57 to 81-year-old (mean age 70.4 ± 5.

Near-infrared fluorescence with indocyanine green for diagnostics in urology: initial experience.

Introduction: Fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green is used in urology for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes and identification of prostate margins in radical prostatectomy for delineation of resection zone and selective clamping of vessels in partial nephrectomy; for identification and evaluation of length of ureteral strictures; for assessment of perfusion and viability of anastomoses during reconstructive stage of cystectomy. Safety of this technique is proven, while its diagnostic value and usefulness is still controversial.

Methods: This pilot study of using the SPY Elite Fluorescence Imaging System for diagnostics was performed in the I.
