Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how pre-existing renal impairment affects outcomes for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), utilizing data from an international registry.
- - Out of 1393 patients analyzed, those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) had worse disease-free survival (DFS) compared to patients with normal renal function; CKD was linked to a higher likelihood of poor outcomes.
- - The study concludes that while pre-existing kidney issues don't impact overall survival (OS), they do correlate with worse DFS, highlighting the importance of renal health in treatment planning for UTUC patients.
Article Synopsis
- - Over the last 30 years, miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) has gained popularity due to its potential to reduce complications compared to standard procedures, but there's still debate over best practices and management strategies that hinders wider use.
- - An international panel of urology experts developed a consensus document on mPCNL to provide a comprehensive framework for practice, which included reviewing literature, identifying research gaps, and conducting surveys to gather expert opinions.
- - The study revealed 58 key questions on mPCNL practices, and consensus was achieved on 30 questions, affirming mPCNL as an effective technique for treating upper urinary tract stones in both adults and children.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the causes and risk factors of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Turkish population, focusing on various modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors.
Methods: A hospital-based case-control design was employed to compare individuals with CRC (cases) to individuals without CRC (controls). Male and female participants were recruited from the surgery, internal medicine, and out-patient departments.
Background: The study assesses the decisional regret following Shared Decision-making (SDM) in patients selecting either early ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) or medical expulsive therapy (MET) for ureteric stones ≤ 1 cm, with the aim to evaluate their decisional Conflict, satisfaction, and regret regarding their opted treatment choices.
Methods: Adults aged more than 18 years with one stone up to 1 cm in either ureter were included. After SDM, the patients were allocated into their opted group viz.
