Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in women with bladder cancer, specifically focusing on functionality, cancer results, and complications.
- The research involved 146 female patients, revealing that about half underwent pelvic organ-preserving procedures, achieving overall daytime and nighttime continence rates of 54% and 53%.
- The findings concluded that RARC with orthotopic neobladder offers good functional outcomes, with pelvic organ preservation improving urinary continence while maintaining cancer safety.
Background: Valveless trocars like AirSeal system are maintain a stable pneumoperitoneum and reduce instrument friction.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man's robotic radical cystectomy was complicated by a missing needle while using AirSeal system. The needle was detected via backward inspection using the endo camera inserted through the trocar, tip at its most distal end let the visualization of the needle within the air channels and confirmed with a trocar X-ray.
Introduction: The follow-up findings of patients who underwent prostate biopsy for prostate image reporting and data system (PIRADS) 4 or 5 multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) findings and had benign histology were retrospectively reviewed.
Methods: There were 190 biopsy-naive patients. Patients with at least 12 months of follow-up between 2012 and 2023 were evaluated.
Background: To investigate the predictable parameters associated with downgrading in patients with a Gleason score (GS) 8 (4+4) in prostate biopsy after radical prostatectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 62 patients with a GS of 4+4 on prostate biopsy who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy between 2017 and 2022.
Results: 38 of 62 (61.
