Background: In France, liver grafts that have been refused by at least 5 teams are considered for rescue allocation (RA), with the choice of the recipient being at the team's discretion. Although this system permits the use of otherwise discarded grafts in a context of organ shortage, outcomes and potential benefits need to be assessed.
Methods: Between 2011 and 2015, outcomes of RA grafts (n = 33) were compared with SA grafts (n = 321) at a single French center.
Background And Objective: We observed in our department at 3 months two episodes of bacteremia postoperatively to photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). We decided to compare the frequency of postoperative urinary tract infections (POUTIs) in patients with preoperative bacterial colonization of urine between PVP and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Materials And Methods: From January 2010 to December 2011, we studied patients who underwent PVP or TURP for benign prostatic obstruction in our department.
Objective: Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is becoming a surgical treatment alternative of transurethral resection of the prostate for male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). We evaluated the outcome and postoperative complications of PVP performed by 80-W KTP and 120-W HPS GreenLight lasers (AMS®) over a 4-year period.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective monocentric study that included all patients who underwent PVP.
