Objectives: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and patient-reported outcomes of Aquablation therapy using the AQUABEAM Robotic System for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a Japanese population.

Methods: This post-market use-results survey included 103 Japanese men with BPH who underwent Aquablation across five centers with previously Aquablation naïve physicians. Data were collected at baseline, during the procedure, at discharge, and at 3 and 6 months post-procedure.

Kidney organoids are connected to the host circulation and mature after transplantation. However, they are still immature compared to the adult kidneys, and their precise maturation stages remain unclear. By transplanting the mouse embryonic kidney as a model system for organoid transplantation, we report here the maturation defects of the graft, especially in the medulla.

Article Synopsis
  • Urological surgeons often face challenges in treating patients with simultaneous double cancers of the urinary tract, with limited previous reports on effective treatment strategies.
  • A case involving a 73-year-old man demonstrated successful management of contralateral renal cell carcinoma and ureteral carcinoma through laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries, along with targeted drug therapy.
  • The approach resulted in the preservation of renal function and avoided the need for dialysis while maintaining anticancer benefits.

The advent of robotic surgery has significantly impacted various surgical fields, particularly urology, gynecology, general surgery, and cardiac surgery. While the da Vinci robotic platform has been predominant over the past two decades, recent years have witnessed the emergence of new robotic platforms in Japan, now actively used in clinical practice. Currently, the available systems in Japan, alongside the da Vinci, include the Hinotori, Senhance, Hugo Ras, and Saroa surgical systems.
