The Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques of Toulouse: Oldest Dental Site still in Activity?

Predictive Factors of Early Postoperative Complications After Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy for Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma.

To identify protective and risk factors of early postoperative complications after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for urothelial bladder carcinoma. Data of all robot-assisted cystectomies performed in six French centers between February 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

Robot-Assisted Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit for Neurogenic Bladder: Comparison of Extracorporeal Intracorporeal Urinary Diversion.

The aim of the present study was to compare the perioperative outcomes of extracorporeal (EXTRA) intracorporeal (INTRA) urinary diversion in patients undergoing robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic bladder. All consecutive patients who underwent robot-assisted cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic bladder in six centers between 2011 and 2020 were included in a retrospective study. Four centers performed exclusively INTRA urinary diversion all over the study period, one center performed exclusively EXTRA urinary diversion, and the last center performed EXTRA urinary diversion during a first period and INTRA during the subsequent period.
