Background: Approximately 15% of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) develop benign ureteroenteric strictures. Of these strictures, the majority are located in the left ureter. To lower the rate of strictures, a retrosigmoid ileal conduit has been suggested.

Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent RARC because of bladder cancer or recurrent carcinoma in situ from June 2009 until August 2020 at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital were prospectively and consecutively included. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS).
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) on patients' quality of life (QoL) and to validate a tool to quantify problems associated with TURBT in a Danish population. Materials and methods A prospective study was carried out using a combination of questionnaires and interviews. The study included 165 consecutive patients undergoing a TURBT owing to non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) from 1 May 2011 to 30 April 2012.

Material And Methods: The study included data from 605 consecutive patients treated with RRP for localized prostate cancer. Patients with node-positive disease were excluded.
Introduction: Ambient air pollution is a risk factor for mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to quantify the health effects related to particulate matter (PM10) in Denmark.
Materials And Methods: We used relative risk estimates in relation to PM10 based on the epidemiological literature.
