Robotic versus open radical cystectomy throughout the learning phase: insights from a real-life multicenter study.

Background And Objectives: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been shown to be non-inferior to open radical cystectomy (ORC) for the treatment of bladder cancer (BC). However, most data on RARC come from high-volume surgeons at high-volume centers. The objective of the study was to compare perioperative and mid-term oncologic outcomes of RARC versus ORC in a real-life cohort of patients treated by surgeons starting their experience with RARC.

Perioperative outcomes and complications of intracorporeal vs extracorporeal urinary diversion after robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: a real-life, multi-institutional french study.

Purpose: To compare perioperative outcomes and complications of extracorporeal (ECUD) vs intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) in patients after undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) at five referral centers in France.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our multi-institutional, prospectively-collected database to select patients undergoing RARC between 2010 and 2016 with at least 3 months of follow-up. At each center, the surgery was performed by one surgeon with extensive experience in robotic surgery and radical cystectomy but no prior experience in RARC.

[Long-term results of the treatment of urinary incontinence with bulbar implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in men: a single-center experience].

Objective: To report the functional results and morbidity after implantation of bulbar artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in incontinent men with at least 5 years of follow-up.

Patients And Methods: The files of patients treated between 1984 and 2003 by setting up a SAU at bulbar location were reviewed. The following data were recorded: age, etiology of incontinence, intra-operative complications.

Impact of elective versus imperative indications on oncologic outcomes after open nephron-sparing surgery for the treatment of sporadic renal cell carcinomas.

Purpose: To determine the effect of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) on cancer control in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and to compare the outcomes of patients who had elective versus imperative indications for surgery.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the data for patients treated with open NSS between 1980 and 2005 for sporadic RCCs. The following data were analyzed: age, intraoperative parameters, tumor size, Fuhrman grade, tumor, node, metastasis system disease stage, pathological data, and outcome.

[Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia by radiofrequency (TUNA): a monocentric study of 28 cases treated in ambulatory surgery].

Aim: To assess the feasibility of ambulatory surgery in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia using radio frequency (TUNA) and evaluate its place in terms of efficiency among other minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Method: Fifty-four patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia and for whom medical treatment was ineffective, were treated with radio frequency between September 2004 and June 2007. Among them, 28 patients, whose average age was 65.
