Implementation of single-port robotic urologic surgery: experience at a large academic center.

The Single-Port (SP) robotic system is increasingly being implemented in the United States, allowing for several minimally invasive urologic procedures to be performed. The present study aims to describe our single-center experience since the adoption of the SP platform. We retrospectively collected and analyzed consecutive SP cases performed at a major teaching hospital in the Midwest (Rush University Medical Center) from December 2020 to December 2023.

Single-port vs multi-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: A single center propensity score-matched analysis.

Introduction And Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare key outcomes of Single-Port (SP) and Multi-Port (MP) robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on our prospectively collected database of patients who underwent SP-RAPN or MP-RAPN at our institution from January 2021 to August 2023. To adjust for potential baseline pre-operative confounders, a 1:1 propensity-score matching analysis (PSMa) was performed.

Predictors of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria in the rectal vault of men undergoing prostate biopsy.

Importance: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant rectal vault flora is associated with infectious complications in men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy (TRUS-PNB).

Objective: To determine the patient factors that predict FQ-resistant rectal cultures in men who are undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy.

Methods: An IRB approved retrospective review of 6183 consecutive men who had undergone a rectal swab culture in preparation for TRUS-PNB between January 2013 and December 2014 was performed.
