Objective: To evaluate the risk of long-term tumor recurrence and progression in patients with low- and intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers, which could facilitate optimization in the follow-up schedules.
Materials And Methods: A single-institution, retrospective analysis of 704 patients with primary TaG1, TaG2, T1G1, and T1G2 urothelial carcinomas of the bladder without concomitant carcinoma in situ, treated with transurethral resection, was performed. Response was determined and monitored by routine periodic urine cytology, cystoscopy, and upper tract imaging.
Objective: To investigate the role of contemporary minilaparoscopy (ML; 3 mm instruments and laparoscope) and to identify predictive factors for complications in a prospective multicenter series for renal and adrenal surgeries.
Materials And Methods: From July 2013 to December 2014, 110 patients from 6 laparoscopic Spanish centers were enrolled. A common database was used and data were collected in a prospective manner.
Background: A ureteroileal anastomosis stricture (UAS) is one of the most frequent complications after radical cystectomy. Open surgical repair is the treatment of choice but is associated with morbidity.
Objective: To describe the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic management for benign secondary UAS.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at a new surgery method called retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (RPN) to remove kidney tumors without blocking blood flow. !*
- They treated 19 patients and found that the surgery took an average of 182 minutes, and most people stayed in the hospital for about 4.5 days. !*
- The results were promising, showing fewer complications and less blood loss in later surgeries, so more research is needed to confirm if this method is really effective. !*
