Purpose: We analyzed the demographics and outcome of radical prostatectomy in Austria in a nationwide series.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed the records of all 33,580 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy at a public hospital, including 95% of all surgical procedures, in Austria between 1992 and 2009. Patient demographics, perioperative mortality, interventions for anastomotic strictures and urinary incontinence, and overall survival were determined.
Aim: To analyze demographics, perioperative mortality and overall survival of radical cystectomy (RC) in patients aged 70+ years in Austria in a nation-wide registry cohort.
Patients And Methods: All patients >69 years who underwent RC in public hospitals (covering >95% of all surgical procedures) in Austria between 1992 and 2004 were analyzed. Data were provided by the Austrian Health Institute (ÖBIG).
Objectives: To analyse demographics and outcome of radical prostatectomy (RPE) in Austria in a nationwide series.
Methods: All patients (n=16,524) who underwent RPE in public hospitals (covering 95% of all surgical procedures) in Austria between 1992 and 2003 were analysed. Patient demographics, interventions for anastomotic strictures/urinary incontinence/inguinal hernias, perioperative mortality, and overall survival (OS) were determined.
Objective: To analyse long-term rates of reoperation, myocardial infarction and mortality after transurethral (TURP) and open prostatectomy (open PE) in a nation-wide analysis.
Material And Methods: Patients who underwent TURP (n=20,671) or open PE (n=2452) in Austria between 1992 and 1996 entered this study and were followed for up to 8 years. Actuarial cumulative incidences of reoperation (TURP, urethrotomy, bladder neck incision), myocardial infarction and death after 1, 5 and 8 years were calculated.
