Background: Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are rare. Minimally invasive techniques have been utilized for incidentally discovered masses with successful results.
Methods: We present a case of a 64-year-old female with a 3.
Background And Purpose: Postoperative incontinence is multifactorial after radical prostatectomy. Using endorectal coil MRI, we examined features of the male urethra and accompanying muscular sphincter to predict continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Patients And Methods: 80 patients underwent preoperative 1.
Background And Purpose: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an excellent surgical treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but surgical complications are not well described. We set out to determine the predictors of stress incontinence (SUI) after HoLEP during the learning curve.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of our institution's HoLEP database was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Ureteral obstruction is a serious complication following ureteroscopy, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of renal ultrasound for detecting hydronephrosis post-surgery.
- Among the 289 patients monitored, 9.3% were found to have hydronephrosis, with a mix of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases.
- The findings suggest that renal ultrasound one month after the procedure could be a valuable tool for identifying hydronephrosis, potentially leading to additional surgical interventions for affected patients.
