Clinical Significance of Preoperative Assessment of Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion in Radical Prostatectomy.

Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) is common in prostate-related diseases, whose clinical significance in radical prostatectomy was unknown. 791 patients underwent robot-assisted or open radical prostatectomy at our institution were enrolled. The transabdominal ultrasound examination of prostate and IPP was carried out preoperatively, by which IPP was classified as no (0-0.

Short interval of biopsy to robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy does not render any adverse effects on the perioperative outcomes.

The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of prostate biopsy on perioperative outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).A total of 181 patients who underwent the RALP in our institution have been retrospectively reviewed, patients were divided into different groups according to the interval of biopsy to RALP and core numbers of biopsy. Perioperative outcomes including estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time (OT), surgical margin status, postoperative drainage, hospital stay, and perioperative complications were served as endpoints.

A preliminary study on classification and therapeutic strategies for spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage.

Background: The aim of our study was to report our experience in the classification and therapeutic management strategies for spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage (SPH).

Methods: From September 2005 to April 2015, 20 patients with SPH were newly diagnosed in our hospital. Their clinical features, image findings, identification of underlying causes, and therapeutic management were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed.

Mini-flank supra-12th rib incision for open partial nephrectomy for renal tumor with RENAL nephrometry score ≥10: an innovation of traditional open surgery.

The skill of supra-12th rib mini-flank approach for open partial nephrectomy (MI-OPN) provides an advanced operative method for renal tumor. Compared with laparoscopic and robotic surgery, it may be a feasible selection for the complex renal tumors. We describe our techniques and results of MI-OPN in complex renal tumors with high RENAL nephrometry score (RENAL nephrometry score ≥10).

Modified technique in treating recurrent priapism: a technique report.

Recurrent ischemic priapism is a problem in clinical treatment. Most of the cases require more invasive surgery to shunt the blood stasis. We introduce a modified technique in treating recurrent ischemic priapism.

Mini-flank supra-12th rib incision for open partial nephrectomy compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and traditional open partial nephrectomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report our approach of partial nephrectomy (PN) using a supra-12th rib mini-flank incision. We compared mini-incision open partial nephrectomy (MI-OPN) with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) to verify whether MI-OPN can be an alternative to OPN and LPN.

Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study including 194 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) between February 2005 and December 2010.

Temporary filters and liver mobilization technique improve the safety and prognosis of radical nephrectomy and inferior vena cava thrombectomy in renal cell carcinoma with subdiaphragmatic thrombosis.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of preoperative temporary inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement and intraoperative application of a liver mobilization technique.

Materials And Methods: The experiment cohort of 42 cases and the control cohort of 36 cases of renal cell carcinoma involving the IVC were analyzed retrospectively. In the experiment cohort, patients were implanted with a temporary IVC filter as routine preoperative treatment.

NGF/γ-IFN inhibits androgen-independent prostate cancer and reverses androgen receptor function through downregulation of FGFR2 and decrease in cancer stem cells.

Androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC) is difficult to treat. Present study is to explore the inhibitory effect of a cytokine environment on AIPC and its mechanism. We utilized nerve growth factor (NGF)/γ-interferon (γ-IFN) to change the cytokine environment.

Radiotherapy may improve overall survival of patients with T3/T4 transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis or ureter and delay bladder tumour relapse.

Background: Since transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract is a relatively uncommon malignancy, the role of adjuvant radiotherapy is unknown.

Methods: We treated 133 patients with TCC of the renal pelvis or ureter at our institution between 1998 and 2008. The 67 patients who received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) following surgery were assigned to the radiation group (RT).

[Analysis of microchimerism in living renal transplantation between mothers and children relationship].

Objective: To compare the microchimerismic and rejection rates in living donor kidney transplant recipients in mother and child relations and other relations.

Methods: This retrospective single-center study enrolled 130 recipients to receive allografts from living related donors from 2004 to 2008 at our hospital. They were followed up for 1 - 5 years.

Epidural catheters can facilitate laparoscopic placement of ureteral stent: description of a technique.

Aim: To introduce a novel technique for laparoscopic placement of ureteral stent and to investigate the safety and effectiveness of this new method.

Methods: Fourteen patients underwent laparoscopic placement of ureteral stents with the technique. The stent was indwelled with an epidural catheter, delivered to the operative field, and placed through the ureteral incision into the renal pelvis and bladder, respectively.

[The clinical characteristic of adrenal metastatic tumor].

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of adrenal metastasis.

Methods: From January 1993 to December 2004, 103 cases of adrenal metastasis were reviewed.

Results: Lung and hepatocellular carcinoma were the most common primary tumor of adrenal metastatic tumor, which about 36.

[An experimental study on high intensity focused ultrasound combined with mitomycin treatment of bladder tumor].

Objective: To study the therapeutic effect and synergistic inhibition effect of high intensity focused ultrasound in combination with mitomycin on T739 mice bladder tumor.

Methods: BTT739 tumor-bearing mice receiving HIFU and/or mitomycin in two weeks, were divided into control group, low dose chemotherapy group, high dose chemotherapy group, HIFU group and HIFU combined chemotherapy group. The growth of mice tumor volume was observed in two weeks, by which we counted tumor volume doubling time and performed the growth curve.
