The Effect of Providing Video-Animated Information to Female Patients With Stress Urinary Incontinence Before the Urodynamic Study on the Patient's Anxiety, Pain, Satisfaction, and Willingness to Repeat the Procedure.
Low Urin Tract Symptoms
January 2025
Objectives: To investigate the effect of providing video-animated information to female patients with stress urinary incontinence before urodynamics on the patient's anxiety, pain, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure.
Methods: Before the procedure, patients were divided into two groups with 1:1 randomization. While one group was given written and verbal information, the other group was additionally given animated video information accompanied by a doctor.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of robotic surgery experience on open radical prostatectomy (ORP) outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed 100 patients who underwent an ORP for clinically localised prostate cancer (PCa) performed by the same experienced surgeon. The groups included the last 50 patients before (Group 1) and the first 50 patients after (Group 2) robotic surgery experience.

- This study evaluated how preoperative traits and lab results predict positive surgical margins (PSM) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP).
- Among 278 patients, those with PSM showed higher body mass index (BMI), more biopsy-positive cores, and higher levels of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) compared to those with negative margins.
- Key predictors of PSM included BMI, Gleason score ≥8, elevated preoperative PSA, and high D'Amico risk, with a specific NLR threshold providing mixed predictive performance (sensitivity 69%, specificity 46%).
