Initial experience of transurethral-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site nephroureterectomy.

Purpose: We describe a new transurethral technique for distal ureter management and the improvement of intraoperative exposure during LESS-NU.

Methods: A total of 20 transurethral assisted LESS-NU were performed between May 2018 and December 2020 in our institution. The access route for the operation was via a single-port, with four channels placed through a transumbilical incision.

Comparison of Laparoendoscopic Single-Site and Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy for Male Patients with Bladder Cancer: Perioperative and Oncologic Outcomes.

To compare the surgical and early oncological outcomes in patients with bladder cancer who had laparoendoscopic single-site radical cystectomy (RC) or laparoscopic RC. From July 2012 to May 2019, 28 consecutive men suffering from bladder cancer underwent laparoendoscopic single-site RC or laparoscopic RC with extracorporeally ileal conduit diversion. Data regarding the patient characteristics, surgical outcomes, and short-term oncological outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.

Laparoendoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP): stepwise transition from multi-site to single-site with the aid of the transurethral port.

Purpose: To describe our initial experience with laparoendoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and a stepwise transition towards transurethral assisted laparoendoscopic single-site RP (TU-LESS RP).

Patients And Methods: From Jan. 2007 to Dec.

Transurethral-Assisted Transumbilical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Radical Cystectomy: Initial Short-Term Experience.

Introduction: Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) technique is a less invasive approach for radical cystectomy (RC), which is promising in reducing the incisional morbidity and improving the cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and oncological outcomes for patients with malignant urinary bladder tumors that underwent the transurethral-assisted transumbilical LESS-RC.

Methods: From December 2014 to June 2017, 47 patients underwent LESS-RC combined with unilateral or bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy were enrolled in this study.

Clinical and genetic characterization of Chinese pediatric cystine stone patients.

Introduction: Cystine stone is the only clinical manifestation in patients with cystinuria, which is an autosomal recessive inheritable disease. However, clinical and genetic data vary among patients in different countries.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of Chinese pediatric cystine stone patients.

Transurethral assistant transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site radical prostatectomy.

The laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) technique is the latest technical innovation in laparoscopic surgery to undergo exponential development in urology. This study undertaken to illustrate our initial experience LESS radical prostatectomy (RP) and analyze early outcomes. Nineteen patients diagnosed with prostate cancer underwent LESS-RP in our institute.
