Background: Evaluating risk factors for bleeding events in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is essential for improving surgical outcomes.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RAPN for renal masses between May 2019 and June 2023 at a single medical center, categorizing them into AML and non-AML groups. We assessed demographic data, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes.
Objective: To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on preoperative characteristics, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), intraoperative variables, surgical outcomes and postoperative complications.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study including 891 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients who underwent GreenLight Laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) between 2014 and 2020. Clinical characteristics, uroflowmetry parameters, and surgery related parameters were extracted from electronic health records.
Background: This study aimed to identify the clinical predictors for the response of patients with mCRPC to ARATs.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively collected data on consecutive patients who were diagnosed with mCRPC and underwent ARAT treatment during this stage of the disease. Clinical parameters were obtained through medical chart reviews.
Article Synopsis
- This study developed a new model that merges clinical data and imaging results to more accurately predict early recovery from urinary incontinence following robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
- Researchers analyzed data from 293 patients, finding that 47.6% were pad-free within a month, with over 90% achieving continence by six months.
- Significant predictors for recovery included BMI, nerve-sparing techniques, and bladder neck positioning, leading to the creation of a nomogram to help clinicians manage patient care and alleviate concerns.
Background: Lymph node invasion is associated with poor outcome in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Patients And Methods: Patients with RCC within a single center from 2001 to 2018 were retrospectively obtained from the Chang Gung Research Database. Patient gender, physical status, Charlson Comorbidity Index, tumor side, histology, age at diagnosis, and body mass index (BMI) were compared.
