Objective: We described the technique and outcomes of robot-assisted repair of uretero-enteric strictures (UES) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and urinary diversion.
Methods: Retrospective review of our RARC database from November 2005 to August 2023 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer center was performed. Patients who developed UES and ultimately underwent robot-assisted uretero-enteric reimplantation (RUER) were identified.
Objective: To describe the management and outcomes of patients with Ta predominantly low-grade urothelial carcinoma with focal high-grade features (FHG) (<5%), compared to those with Ta low grade (LG) and Ta high grade (HG).
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor between 2005 and 2023. Patients with Ta disease were identified and categorized into LG, FHG, and HG.
Introduction: We aimed to investigate the differences in perioperative outcomes, especially ureteroenteric strictures, between patients who underwent a stented ureteroenteric anastomosis at the time of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and ileal conduit vs those who did not.
Methods: A retrospective review of our RARC database was performed (2009-2023). Patients were divided into those who received stented ureteroenteric anastomosis vs those who did not.
Introduction: We sought to investigate the impact of National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-compliant multidisciplinary conference on the uptake of active surveillance (AS) among eligible patients with prostate cancer.
Methods: Retrospective review of our AS database was performed. Patients who are eligible for AS who sought a second opinion at a comprehensive cancer center (2010-2021) were presented to the multidisciplinary Localized Prostate Cancer Conference (LPCC) that includes urologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and patient advocates.
