Single-port robot-assisted perineal radical prostatectomy with the da Vinci XI system: initial experience and learning curve using the cumulative sum method.

Background: To evaluate the early functional and oncological outcomes of single-port robot-assisted perineal radical prostatectomy (sp-pRARP) using the da Vinci XI system and analyze its learning curve using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method.

Methods: The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent sp-pRARP for localized prostate cancer between May 2020 and May 2022 in our center by a single surgeon were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic information, preoperative and postoperative variables, complications, early functional and oncological outcomes of patients were recorded.

Medical image diagnosis of prostate tumor based on PSP-Net+VGG16 deep learning network.

Background And Objective: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer of the male reproductive system. With the development of medical imaging technology, magnetic resonance images (MRI) have been used in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer because of its clarity and non-invasiveness. Prostate MRI segmentation and diagnosis experience problems such as low tissue boundary contrast.

Image Enhancement Model Based on Deep Learning Applied to the Ureteroscopic Diagnosis of Ureteral Stones during Pregnancy.

Objective: To explore the image enhancement model based on deep learning on the effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement and drainage on ureteral stones during pregnancy. We compare the clinical effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement on pregnancy complicated with ureteral stones and use medical imaging to diagnose the patient's condition and design a treatment plan.

Methods: The image enhancement model is constructed using deep learning and implemented for quality improvement in terms of image clarity.

Association between N-Acetyltransferase 2 Polymorphism and Bladder Cancer Risk: a Meta-Analysis in a Single Ethnic Group.

Background: Many studies have evaluated the correlation between N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) slow acetylation genotype and bladder cancer risk. However, the results are inconsistent and remain to be confirmed in each ethnic group. To assess the effects of NAT2 acetylation status on the risk of bladder cancer in the Chinese population, a meta-analysis was performed.

Comparison of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin and mitomycin C administration for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: A meta-analysis and systematic review.

The aim of the present meta-analysis was to compare the benefits of Bacillus Calmetter-Guerin (BCG) and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer. The present meta-analysis analyzed the benefits of BCG and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) rates in patients treated with either of the drugs following transurethral resection. The Medline, Cochrane and EMBASE databases were searched between January 1966 and August 31, 2014 for studies that investigated the efficacy of the intravesical instillation of chemotherapy in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who had been treated with transurethral resection.
